to whether the club was justified in
the expenditure that would be required
TO build the alley. 1t developed a plan
similar to those by which the Hussars
and Tomochichi Club alleys were
built, which would not interfere with
the clubs treasury at present, the
money to be raised by subscription
and the issue of bonds. With this I'M
Outstanding the stewards were adj
vised that it was the desire of the club
that the additional alleys be built.
This win probably be done by an ex-
tension of the present building to pro-
vide room for four alleys, two to be
built at cnce and the other two when
ever the stewards or the club may de-
sire.
The need for a revision of the club
rules was discussed and committee
on revision was provided for.
The meeting was a harmonious one
in every way and the club starts it's
new year auspiciously.
The COmmOdore's Report.
THE annual report of Commodore
Schley was, in part, as follows:
Though the treasurers report is
very fun and complete, l wish to ex-
plain in further detail some important
for the year have exceeded that of any
year since the organization of the club,
the amount being $9.65S.90, while in
1900 the largest of any previous year,
u was $6,SS7.7S. Undoubtedly this in
crease is due to the bowling alley,
which attraction has caused both gem
tlemen and ladies to visit the club Oft
ener and in larger numbers. The
gross receipts from the alley for games
alone have been $1,S55.65, and the buff
fet receipts have increased correspond
1ngly with the increased attendance.
AS most of you are aware, about
the close of last year we owed the fol-
lowing amounts, aggregating $13,500:
Old bonds $4,000; for land, now the
park, $4,000; bowling alley, $4,000; sun
dry amounts $500, and note to Germa-
mia Bank, due March 30. 1901, $1,000.
This was adjusted as follows: loan
at per cent arranged with the Q. S.
and Il. Company for $12,500 secured by
mortgage on our whole property,
payable as follows: 81, 500 April %, 1901;
$500 Feb. 26, 1902; $1,000 Feb 26 1903;
$1,000 Feb. &c, 1904; ST. 900 Feb. 26, 1905,
and $500 Feb g. 1906 The note
with the Germania Bank stood as il
was, payable March so, 1901. Your
board has paid all the bills payable
that have fallen due, as above, and
interest to'date, aggregating So 600, and
has spent the following amounts for
permanent improvements; $430 for new
concrete walk; $500 for new artesian
we'll and tank; 500 on grounds; S261 25
for new cash register: S165 for new gas
machine: 1915 for repairs to boat house
wharf; $114 for painting rooof of boat
house, and new hosting gear for boat
house. $SS2.72. aggregating $2.707.97 to-
tai amount being S6.39797. We have
found 1t necessary to make short notes
for $500 to settle all outstanding bills,
bills payable that have fallen due, and
interest to date. THIS now leaves us
with total bills payable, $4,000. against
$751; last year and $2,979.97 of per-
manent improvements on our proper
ty: total amounts to be paid $4,000
bills payable and $500 interest between
this date and March 26, 1908.
During the year we have admitted
SO new members. lost by death 9, by
resignation 16, dropped for non-pay-
ment of dues ?, which leaves the pres
ent membership $40, of which are
honorary and 20 are resident.
I'VE can congratulate ourselves up
on being in very f1ourishing condi-
tion, and have a club really the most
attractive of it's kind in the country
There is a growing sentiment in the
club, which l heartily indorse, that we
build another bowling alley, and with
the splendid showing of the present
