report of the president, and from his own
report showed the condition of the assooia-
ton as regards receipts and expenditures.
Mr.. E. F. Simpson wished that the SYM
pathy of those present might be formally
made known to the president for his in
ability to be present, and motion was
adopted to that effect.
The president suggested in his repor. that
the association sell the land owned by it on
the south side of the track. the proceeds to
be used for the improvement of the
grounds. The recommendation failed of
adoption.
The recent suit of the association against
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was re-
