At the annual meeting of the Lawn Tennis Association last night the following report of the treasurer was read and accepted:

"Last fall the rates for play were materially lowered. The system of season and coupon tickets was introduced, and has proved a great convenience to both players and managers. The reduction of rates caused a lessening in receipts, which was offset by greater economy in the management of the tournaments. The debt originally incurred for making the courts, has been reduced by $150 and now amounts to $250. The following is a summary of the accounts for the year:

To bal. on hand, Oct. 15, '88 $187.71
