The annual report states that the membership is now 375, 32 members having joined during the year. The accounts, now framed upon the double-entry system, show a loss for the year of .£7B 18s. 7d., attributed in a measure to the decrease in tho regatta prize-money receipts. _ ; "Additions' to the plant comprise two fixed-seat fours and one racing clinkor convertible pair-oar and double-sculler. Two old senior'pairs were disposed of by the committee at satisfactory prices. A supply of oars, eculls, and leather h'as been ordorod from Messrs. E. Ayling and Son, London, sufficient for the next two' seasons. "Tho club was represented at regattas at Port Chalmers, Picton, Wellington, Little River, nnd Nelson. Its representatives won the Maiden Double Sculls at Port Chalmers. Junior Purrs at Picton, and Maiden Pairs at Wellington and. Napier. Tho Junior Pairs at Napior was awarded tho Star crew on protest. The prize money, however, had been lodged by the Napier Regatta Committee with the council of th<<N.Z.A.R.A„ as an appeal has been lodged by the Union Boat Club, Wanganui, against the decision of the Napier Committee.
