 Secretary Hoyt's Report.
 Secretary Hoyt made the following report:
 Tn making my annuaf report I small only call attention to the many de- mands upon the time of the officers and members of the association that the work of the past year has reQulr- ed.
 You have all been advised by circu- lar, and by a special meeting, of the work of the inland exchange commit tee in their effort to secure from the New York clearing house committee the establishment of country ex- change department. This committee, together with the members of the K ecutixe committee, have held four meetings with the New York clearing house committee and a joint meeting with the committees from associations of New York, New Jersey and Massa- chusetts.
 The legislative committee have also been required to give largely of their time in watching the many banking bills which were landed before the legislature this session, and they are to be commended for their efforts in securing the passage of the general bill for the organization of banks and trust companies.
 The loyalty of the officers and mem bers of the several committees has been shown by their readiness to leave their business in response to the calls for service in the interest of the asso- citation. It is this spirit of sacrifice of personal interest on the part of the in dividual members and through their unity of purpose that the Connecticut Bankers association has come to be regarded as one of the strongest of the state associations, although it's mem- bership is the smallest
 I have six applications to be acted upon today, which will make our mem bership 123, the largest in the history of the association. There are at pres ent 7s national banks, 21 trust compan- ies, six state banks, eight private bank CTS.
 Adjournment was taken at 12.30 o'clock, and at 1.30 the delegates and guests embarked on a steamer for Fort H. G. Wright at Fishers Island, where they witnessed the gun practice of the artillerymen encamped there.
