The president (Lord Belper) presided. The Hon. Secretary |and Treasurer pre­ sented the annual report of the committee and the balance sheet. Your committee have to report that they have examined the accounts and vouchers produced by the treasurer, and found them correct. A summary of the income and expenditure is presented herewith, from which it will be seen that there is a balance in hand of £447 19s. The members will observe that the cash balance in hand is much smaller than usual, this being duo to the fact that during the past year the sum of £1,000 has been expended in the erection of a new inn. The premises have been let to the same tenant as the old house on advantageous terms to the club, and the committee believe that the new establishment is a source of convenience to the various large gatherings on the Trent Bridge Ground. Acting under-the sanction of a general meeting of subscribers, the trustees have borrowed a sum of money for the purpose of erecting a now Member’s Pavilion. This work is now in progress, and will be ready for use at the commencement of the ensuing season. The new building, it is /'believed, will be an ornament to the ground and vicinity. It is being erected on the new piece of ground at the back of the site of the old pavilion. The plot of ground where the old pavilion stood is being laid with turf, and will greatly enlarge the playing accommodation. ^-W ith regard to the doings of the County Eleven during the past season, the committee have the greatest satisfaction in stating that Notts again occupies the proud position of premier county. The committee have made the following home- and-home county matches for the ensuing season:— Gloucestershire, Kent, Lancashire, Middlesex, Surrey, Sussex, and Yorkshire. In addition to the above three matches will be played on the . Trent Bridge Ground with the Australian team visiting England next summer; two against the County Eleven, and one against the Players of England. It is also intended to play the usual Colts’ match at Easter, a Yorkshire Colts’ match, and a match against the M.C.C. at Lord’s. This programme the committee regard as the best hitherto provided on the Trent Bridge Ground. The committee pointwith satisfaction to the large accession of new members during the past season, the total amount of subscriptions received being much higher than in any previous year. Only one nomination for the committee, that of Mr. R. Daft having been sent in, he is duly elected; and, acting under Rule 8, the committee have to report to this meeting that they have filled up the other two vacancies by the election of Mr. S. Macrae and Mr. C. W. Wright. Mr. Henry Bromley having resigned his place on the committee, Mr. J. S. Hutchinson has, under Rule 6, been selected in his stead. B alan ce S h e e t .

Capt. Holden proposed that Rule 4, which made the outgoing president ineligible for re- election, should be suspended for one year. His reason was, because there was a general feeling on the committee that the out-going president should be reappointed. The ensuing year was a peculiar one, owing to the large work they had in hand in connection with the opening of the new pavilion and the extraordinary number of .matches that had to be played. It was generally thought desirable on that account that Lord Belper, who thoroughly understood cricket and who was also a very good man of business, should preside over the committee during the ensuing year. The club had had presidents who were good and useful men, but their president was a nobleman who was thoroughly up to cricket, taking the greatest interest in the game. Mr. T. D. Gorse seconded the motion, which was carried with acclamation. Lord Belper assured the members that as the club had done him the great honour of re-electing him president he should do all he could during the year in the interests of county cricket generally, and of Notts cricket in particular. They were aware that next year they were going to play matches with Lanca­ shire. He noticed that the chairman of the Lancashire Club alluded to the fact with pleasure the previous evening, and as chairman of that meeting and president of the Notts Club, he begged to say that he responded to that sentiment, and without in any way going into the reasons which led to the suspension of the matches last year, he felt certain that every member of the club would be glad that Notts was again going to enter into a contest with the great cricket county of Lancashire. There were also on the programme three matches with the Australians, and those matches, as they wrere aware, were viewed with great interest. From those facts it would be seen that the forthcoming season would not be an uneventful one, and he could only express a hope that the county would uphold the position it had gained.
