It must also be taken into consideration that the weathei on the day of the sports was not all that could be desired which greatly interfered with the attendance of the public.

The present membership of the club totals 86 members, being an increase of 2c over last year. The Committee referred with regret to the death;of Messrs J. Vile and J. F. Overend.
