It's income for the year was $8,019, ,009; its operating expenses, | $5, ,333, ,252, leaving an income in excess of l operating expenses of $2,685, ,857 The ! double tracking of the Shore Line division | has cost nearly $500, ,OO0. The indebted | ness of the road will soon be wiped out by an increase of capital stock.
 As in years past, Henry L. Goodwin was
 at the meeting in all his glory He was on bate some question or measure with any one who would debate with him. He in ! troduced resolution as follows:
 Resolved, That the action of the president as l presiding officer of this meeting in putting to
 vote the od or the T CTS to remark on the same is in violation of par l liamentary law and derogatory of the rights of r.Hiller of this city moved to table the resolution, and the motion was seconded, but President Clark evidently wanted to | give MT. Goodwin chance and asked if anybody wished to second the resolution l After spell of silence gentleman sec
 onded it, for the object of having the chair
 sustained. On MT. Hil1er's motion the
 resolution was indefinitely postponed, MT. | Goodwin alone dissenting.
 In response to several calls for remarks ! Henry c. Robinson arose and spoke in
 complimentary terms of the management
 of the road. Stockholders had reason to
 be satisfied with their investments and the public were accommodated. As an in-
 stance of the efficient handling of trains
 he cited the work on the Harlem branch
 during the races, when thousands on thou
 sands of passengers were transported dai- ! ly without accident or delay. The road
 had had no trouble with it's employees It
 was the policy of the company
 to treat it's men well, and they had
 not struck, and did not want to ; tending from New York city to Springfield could not be duplicated for $50, ,O00, ,O0O Some people say that because we are pay ] ing 10 per cent. dividends it is too much Ten per cent. on $25 5,000,0 ,000 is equal te 5 per cent. on $50, ,000, 900, and when say [ ! that the road cannot be duplicated for tho latter amount, you will readily understand 3 1 that the stockholders do not receive larger B l dividends than they are entitled to. Be 3 | sides, think what the road has done. | has built up the state and given an impetus 1 to the towns along it's ine."
 eI On motion of John Ferris a vote wa t. passed thanking the directors for their abl
 management and their careful regard O
 1 the interests of the stockholders.

Before Mr. Goodwin had
 chance to offer any more resolutions tn
 meeting adjourned.
