HONOLULU ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

Tn first annual meeting of this Association
was held in the Gymnasium, Fort street, on
Friday evening, End instant. Mr.. S. B.. Dole,
one OF the Vice-Presidents of the Association,
occupied tie chair, and there was a fair attend
anee of members, notwithstanding the fact that
other meetings, especially that of the Musical
Association, prevented some prominent mem
bers from being present. The report of the re-
firing directors, which We published in our last
issue, was read and adopted. The Treasurer,
Mr.. B. W. Schmidt, then read his report, as
follows ~r--a--
-Mr. President, Ladies and Geatsnen: arr-s~
1 peg leave to submit my financial report for
the year from February, 1882, to February. 1888,
which comprises some statements made already
at former meetings, but which I take the liberty
into our finances and our financial standing.
The receipts have been
For initiation fees for lat members, S2....S294
For annual dues for IS members, S5-$475
For quarterly dues for p members, $1.50- a.
You will notice that of 149 members who paid
the initiation fees, so did not pay any dues
thereafter. Some have refused, some have been
asked repeatedly, some have promised to pay
yet, and some are new members. Again, I
draw your attention to the fact that 95 members
have paid their annual dues So each, and %
their quarterly dues only of S1.50 each. lAL
II appeared TO NE tlGt most OF the quarterly
payers did not feel inclined or obliged to pay
any more dues until they were able to behold
something tangible, as this our new hall now is.
Therefore some of those have not been asked
again, and I must leave it to the decision of this
meeting whether such arrear dues shall be coll
lected hereafter. #
1 have not collected any dues for the coming
year, because 1t seems to me that they ought to
be raised by this meeting to an amount sufficient
to cover all remaining expenses. Further, I re-
ceived by subscription $4S0Ewith your permits
sion L will read the names of the donors, and
will thank any one whose name should not be
called and who has promised or wishes to be
added to the list, to state so right here. 1 am
sorry to say that one of our subscription lists
with a number of names on it has never come to
hands and appears to be lost.
We are promised yet $45 in addition to the
above amount. The following ladies and gentle
men are life members: His Majesty the King.
Her Majesty Queen Kapiolani, Samuel Parker,
c. r.. Bishop, j. Patty, Al. Cartwright, 81. J.
Nolte, S. G. Wilder, B. F. Dillingham;, Mark P.
Robinson, sMessrs. III. A. p. Carter, H. Macfar-
lane, II. w. Schmidt, thirteen in all of whom
twelve have paid the amount of 81 200. You
will remember that some gentlemen made a
special condition that they would only pay their
due of S100-when we had raised the total
amount 50, 500. But yesterday upon nv repre-
that we had collected nearly So, 900, |
and that we were actually owing only about
1850 to $500 more, they had. the kindness to
waive their former condition.
