 From the annual report of the execu-
 tive committee and the reports of the sec-
 retary, the treasurer and the auditing
 committee, 1t is apparent that the ses-
 sion of 1894 has been the most successful
 in the history of this association. From
 membership of 1S1 in 1893 the organi-
 zatlon has advanced to 21S in 1894. Of New Haven and vicinity, and 23 are non residents. There are only 37 drop outs from the membership of 1893, while double that number of new members Joined the organization in 1894.
 The treasurer's report shows that the total receipts from all sources were sl2,507sS; there was expended for ordi- nary running expenses S,355.79, for in- terest $559. for settlement for old float ing debt $2,S92.09, for redemption of cer- tificates of indebtedness s675, making the total expenditures $11, ,481.SS. De- ducting this amount from the total re- ceipts left the surplus for the year. ap- plicable to improvements and other purposes, $1,076.10. From this surplus s3S4 42 were expended for improvements such as bulkhead, extending and turf ing the lawn, and fencing the entire front of the property and s136.45 for one room and furnishings and shed, which left as the balance of unapplied surplus for the year s555.23 This balance is rep resented by cash and good assets, after deducting the current floating obliga- tions.
 Referring to the report of the ex- ecutive committee to the association it is learned that the scheme proposed at the annual meeting year ago for the retirement of the floating indebtedness of the association was successfully ac- The new dock is the most notable addition to the property, and has been one of the principal attractions at the club house the past summer. Our ing the season past there were many notable occasions for instance, the New Years reception, the Washington's party, Decoration day party | Fourth of July, Atlantic and New York | Yacht club receptions, Pequot field day, August 24,and the delightful Halloween party of October 31. Working in con- junction with the officers of the asso- citation is committee of ladies, called the ladies improvement committee, which has during the past season from the profits of entertainments and re- captions, provided the club with fine new bath houses and a new piano for the assembly room. The open season at the house was from the 30th of June to the 10th of September, and the house was run at a profit during that time | The number of regular boarders at the house during that season ranged | from AZ to 68, and the average was not | far from 50. From twenty to twenty five servants were employed at the club house during the season.
 The suggestion has been made that it l would be desirable to have the club house open all the year round, instead of for short summer season. To this matter both the executive committee and the secretary individually have given considerable thought, and while the general opinion of the officers is that of assent to the above suggestion, It is evident that to do this successfully l will require a larger membership than | 1t present, and the executive committee, | In the course of their report, urge upon | all members who desire this change l the need of work on their part in the in- crease of the resident membership.
 One of the pleasantest features at the ] ,lub the past season were the weekly | hops, which were held every Friday | evening, from July 1 to September 1. These hops generally attracted parties of members down from the city for. the evening. in addition to those who were spending the season at the shore. Oth- 1T enjoyable occasions were the special house parties that were gotten up from lime to time during the season by the summer residents. =s ....4: &'
 A comparison of 4tfe committee and | officers reports read at the meeting | Tuesday night indicate that this repre- New Haven organization is in | very prosperous and growing condi- ion, and that the coming season of 1895 l will be even more successful than has l been the one justypast. ':
