The financial report of Secretary
GLADSTONE was submitted in the form of
a report made to him by Byron Defen-
bach, expert accountant, as follows:
"I submit herewith a report of the
cash transactions of your association
during the past year, to and including
the business of today. / find your
financial records in good form and in
exact balance. While j have not yet
been able to examine your vouchers
closely, I find regularly approved
warrant for every dollar of expenditure
The report herewith deals only with
cash actually collected. There appears
to be about 5000 remaining uncollected
from the subscriptions made at the
horse show last fall. / have no way of
determining how much of this is col
lectible. Fees for advertising in the
premium catalogue are practically all
collected. Sales catalogue fees, stable
and entry charges, and charges for feed
will be collected at the grounds during
$4,000 to be received for dsnfecting
purposes, will doubtless bring the entire
amount of cash handled during the year
up to the $4,000 mark
every respectfully,
"Byron Defenbach.''
