the honorary secretary Of the organiza-
ton, shows a shrinkage OK nearly ZION
IN the income under the new manage
ment Of dues. The associate membership
IS a, and allied membership is 228.
II will be remembered that at the an
nuaI meeting in January the dues for as
sociate members were reduced from SO
70 $50, with an idea that a big percentage
OF allied members at SO would ioln the
associate fold. So far this has not been
iulhlled. and the inrcease Of associate
members compared With the previous
year has risen from 50 20 ~. In other
words. this years income from associate
members Will be 81 LAO. Instead OF S2.251
as was the case last year. This year
there are 22S allied members, which Is
one less than the total in 1909. The fig
ures show membership dues: 1903. $3.50:
1910. $3.50
The book, as usual. contains z. complete
summary OF the three national champion
ships since their inception in 1891; also
