The following is the report with balance sheet to be presented to the Annual General Meeting on Thursday next— In issuing their Annual Report the Com­ mittee desire to call attention to the alterations in the rules passed at the Special General Meeting held m July last, which provide that the financial year shall close for the future on December 31 instead of March 31, as here­ tofore. The statement of accounts, as will be seen, extends over ja period of only nine months, commencing from April 1. Hereafter the Balance-sheet will be for the full year ending on December 31. This the Committee feel sure will greatly facilitate the work of the Club. Subscriptions, they would remind members, are now due on January 1. The Committee are glad to be able to congratulate the members on the fact that the County last summer fully upheld the high reputation of Surrey Cricket. Altogether twenty-five matches were played, of which sixteen were won, five drawn and four lost. According to the system of scoring adopted by the meeting of County Secretaries in the previous December, Surrey was entitled to be considered the most successful of the eight leading Counties. Of fourteen first-class matches, nine were won and only three lost, a record which speaks well for the excellence of the all round ericket of the eleven so ably captained by Mr. John Shuter. The Committee have pleasure in reporting that home and homo matches have been arranged for the season 1891 with Warwick­ shire, Derbyshire, Essex, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, CRICKETERS — B e st < C G f r a G oods Cit'i Agents — b e ar th is M a r k .— Advt. P a r to n & L e s t e r , 94, Q u e e n S t ., C h e a p sid e Middlesex, Notts, Somersetshire, Sussex, and Yorkshire. One match will be played with Cambridge University at the Oval, and the annual match betweenGentlemenand Players has been fixed for July 2, 3, and 4, at the Oval. The Somersetshire Eleven showed such ex­ cellent all-round cricket last year that the re­ appearance of that County at the Oval will, the Committee feel sure, be very popular. There is every reason to believe that all the old members of Surrey’ s last year’ s eleven will be available. All interested in Surrey cricket will have heard with regret of the death of E. Barratt, who for so many years played for the County. The Committee have agreed to pay all funeral expenses,] Acting on the expression of opinion at the Special General Meeting last May with regard to the limitation of members, the Committee felt justified in interpreting liberally the powers bestowed on them. During the year 6*25 new members were elected. At the present time the Club numbers 3172 members. Under the provisions of Rule X III. the Com­ mittee will announce at the Annual General Meeting that the privilege of members intro­ ducing a friend into the Pavilion will be sus­ pended in the match between Gentlemen and Players, and on the first day of the Surrey and Nottingham match at the Oval. The following members of the Committee retire by rotation and are eligible for re- election :— Sir R. Hanson, Bart., J. W. Hobbs, Esq., J.P., Major-Gen. Marshall, M. W. Marshall, Esq., J. B. Oakley, Esq., K. J. Key, Esq., C. A. Stein, Esq., G. Everett, Esq. The Annual General Meeting for the election of officers and for the transaction of other business, will be held in the Pavilion at the Oval, on Thursday, May 7, at 5 p.m. After the completion of the ordinary busi­ ness, the meeting will be made special, to consider the following alteration in Rule III- proposed by the Committee:—In place of “ April 14th,” insert “ 31st of March.” RECEIPTS. £ s. d. £ s. d. 6030 0 11 To Balance at March 31st, 189C Subscriptions and en­ trance fees ........................ 4339 7 0 MATCH RECEIPTS— 2nd XI., C. & G. and Colts’ Matches ......................... 33 18 6 H am pshire......................... 29 2 0 Leicestershire .......... ... 34 8 6 Essex ................................ 94 0 0 Surrey v.
