The following is the report to be pre­ sented at the annual general meeting of this club held at the Mechanics’ Lecture Hall, Nottingham, yesterday :— The committee, in presenting the annual balance sheet for 1895. have pleasure in reporting that the subscrip­ tions account shows £1,613 17s. Od. against £1,174 8$. 6d., in 1894 being an increase of £439. The match receipts show also a marked improvement, being £1,273 16s. Id. in 1895 as against £887 7s. 6d. in 1894, thereby indicating a revival of public interest in Notts County cricket. By careful managment during the season the expenses were in many ways reduced; such a reduction, however, being effected in a manner by no means detrimental to the interests of the club. The total financial working shows a substantial profit on the year, a result eminently satisfactory not only to the executive but to the members generally. The amount owing to the bank on Jan. I, 1895, was £4,845 15s. 9d., whereas on Jan. 1, 1896, this debit balance entirely disappeared, and a credit balance of £195 4s. takes its place. This agreeable change is the result of two circumstances —first, owing to a profit on the season’s working, (inclusive of a transfer of surplus from the ground of £150), representing together £1,040 19s. 9d .; secondly, a sum of £4,000 received as a premium on the letting of the Trent Bridge Inn on lease for 30 years at an annual rental of £350 instead of £425 as at present, which has been ultimately effected by the trustees, NEXT ISSUE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27th.
