There has been a slight falling off in subscriptions, the total amount collected being $11,558, or $254 less than last year. This falling off is accounted for principally by the movements of the Navy and the con- sequent husence of many Naval sub- scribers during the winter months. I venture to predict, however, that this source of income will show a, con- siderable gain next year.

Working Expenses,

It is interesting to note that the amount collected in Subscriptions practically covers the working ex- penses of the Club, and I hope it will be possible to report a similar state of affairs next year,
