This amount has been reduced to £396. The last sum of the mortgage account (£500) has now been paid off and the club is practically free of debt. The report states that the activities of the club have been well maintained during the year, and reference is made to the work of the club's fine Orchestra (uhder the leadership of Mr. John M'Glashan), the chess and draughts section, billiardroom, domino and card tournaments, etc. Regret is,, expressed at- a slight falling- j off in subscriptions, which is attributed ' to the unsettled state of the labour market.
