The total expenses for -the year, not counting gifts of foodstuffs, was £63 13s. 3d., the cash receipts falling a little short of that amount. However, Mr. Ilott very generously converted tliis debit balance to a credit. His kind action, is very much appreciated.

Mention was made of two members of the committee having entered the association as a life\york, Messrs. R. D: Baker and B. Mabiii) at Ohristchuroh and Wellington respectively, also of. Mr. E.
