The other games of the team merely paid expenses, and have not been included in the treasurer's statement, although they would appreciably increase the expenditures and receipts. From the above statement it will be seen that, after deducting the $1,500 reserve permitted by the rules of the Athletic committee, the FootBall association will turn into the hands of the graduate treasurer the magnificent surplus of nearly $8.000.

After a statement of the financial condition of the Baseball association which has a debt of $413.25 due to the falling off in receipts from the Yale games and the reduction in the price of season tickets from $5 to $2.50, comes a short summary of the affairs of the Boat club: The expenses during the last college year were $10,076.17, of which $3.496 was paid for a new steam-launch an unusual expense, which was met chiefly by graduate subscriptions; $880 went for new boats, and $500 for the for the tank in which the crews practice rowing during the winter. The total receipts of the season were $9,918,03, leaving a deficit of $158,14-a very creditable showing. The leading sources of income with the amounts derived from each, were as follows:
