Fhe report Of Capt Hugh w. Henry. the
easurer of the Young Mems Christian
Association a,nd Librarian for the same,
showing the financial operations of the
Staunton Y. M. c. A. during the year past
and the facilities for Intellectual improve
is presented below.
1t is accompanied by the report of the
gymnasium department Of which Mr.. Tay-
Ior Mccoy, the General Secretary, is also
Instructor and DR.. J. B. Catlett, Medical
Director; also the report Of the Committee
on Religious Exercises, of which Nh. Chas.
c. Berry is Chairman.
The reports are tull and satisfactory and
afford good reading for the members of the
Association and it's friends, who are to be
congratulated upon the success of the pres
ent administration, which has brought the
Association through many financial ups
and downs, coming out at the end of the
year a little more than square, a small bal
ance remaining in the treasury. The AS
SOciatiOn is under the direction of a Presi-
dent and Board of Directors consisting of
the following gentlemen, H. M. McIlhany,
President; G. G.. Gooch. III. W. Henry, G.
G. Berry, A. s. Morton, J. n. Mcfarland,
W. H. Kable. Guy Cochran, Reeves Gait,
A. Lee Knowles, III. d. Peck and Jas.
Ker, Jr.
The plan Of Sustaining membership"
which has been adopted by the Board is
new departure with the Staunton Assocla-
ton, but it has been operated very success
fully in the larger associationsin the State,
at Richmond, Norfolk, Lynchburg and
elsewhere, and liberal gentlemen have always
been found to come forward with their
timely aid to afford the additional means
needed for the good work which is doing
so much for young men everywhere. 1t is
believed that the same results will follow
this appeal to the friends Of the association
in Staunton, and all such, who can and
will do so, are urged to come forward and
hand in their subscriptions or send them III
writing to either II. M. McIlhany, Presi-
dent; Taylor Mccoy, General Secretary, or
Fl. W. Henry, Treasurer, as these gentle
men will not be able to call personally upon
our citizens.

TESTIMONIALS TO ex-aovERNoRLEs
Presented by Gonilemen Who Composed
His staff with a Silver Punch Bowl.

A few friends of Ex-Governor Lee as
sembled last night at the residence Of Co
lionel G. OBJ. Cowardin to meet the ex-
Governor and TO witness the presentation
10 him of a solid reDOusss silver punch
bowl from the gentlemen who served as
members Of his staff. IL was the intention
to make the presentation after tho un-
yelling of the Lee statue In May,
1890, but the desirsd opportuni-
ty could not be secured and
the ceremony was postponed from time TO
time on account of the absence from the
CITY of Governor Lee. Colonel Philip
Haxall and Colonel Cowardin acted as the
committee on behalf of the members OF
the staff and the presentation remarks
were made by the latter.
Governor Lee, in responding, said that
he had always endeavored To teach his
staff, as a military duty, never TO allow
themselves to be surprised, but that be
had come very near suffering u surprise
himself as he had received very brief
notice indeed of the purpose OF the enter
talnment.
His speech was mainly facetious. as
showing what qualities he sought in select
ing the members of his staff, but the close
was a very tender tribute to the late Col
onel Richard +. Beirne:
One side of the bowl bears the following
inscription: Governor Fitzhugh Lee.
from his staff, 1SS6J9O. Colonel Richard +.
Beirne, Colonel ii. L. ID. Lewis, Colonel J..
Hamton Hoge, Colonel B. o. james, Col
onel Philip Haxall, Colonel Samuel b.
Witt, Colonel &. OBJ. Cowardin."
On the other side of the bowl are these
words: "A Token of Affection and Ad-
mlration. May %, 1890" -,
Governor Lee is looking exceeding well
and hearty.
