FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT.

| In presenting their Fifth A nnual Report, ithe Directors of the Citizens Skating Rink | Company have much pleasure in congratu- lating the stockholders upon the successful result of the operauons of the year just ter- minated. as

By the aid of «a careful supervision, the working expenses have, this year, been brought down to the lowest point yet reach- ed, whilst the efficiency of the Institution and the satisfaction given to its patrons has been in no wise iinpaired, as evidenced by the largely increased number who lave at- tended the Rink this season.

The Treasurer's statement submitted herewith show: a balance en hand of $559.81, which, after adding the aniount of outstanding accounts paid off, the repair ac- count, and proportion oi fre insurance premium (2 years) unexpired, and deduct- ing the balance in band at the biginning of the year, shows the net earnings of the year te have been $537.18, out of which suin your Directors ave deemed it advisable te declare a dividend at the rate of twenty (20) per cent. upon the pal l up Capital Stock, amounting to $d€0, fer which action they now ask the approval of the shareholders.

After having made proVisien— for this Dividend, the statement of Liabilities and Assets shows an excess of assets over liabil- ities of $1,456 77, being slightly over 51 per cent. of the paid up Capital Stock, thus making the face vatuo of each share $37.80. To this add £0 per cent. dividends paid or provided fer, and you have a total of 81 per cent. asthe result of the operations of five years, or equal to 16 1-0 per cent. per year, which your directors canuot but regard asa very creditable exhibit, and one that cannot fail to be satisfactory to the Stockholders.

the 's desire that the electors

by giving me any considerable support’ has nut been compled with, as the returns of yeaterday’s election clearly prove.

Were it not for the treachery practiced by

Mr. David Lawson—in covjanctien with whom 14 nominated—our positions to-day would be reversed. At 445 [ polled my vote

for Mr. Lawson and myself, as it was our duty

to support cach other. Mr. Lawson reserved his vote until about one minute before the closing of the poll, when discovering a tie be-

tween u3, perpetrated an act unworthy of any plumping himse/;,

The victory (7) of Mr. Lawson, gained by his own vote and mine, 1 de not covet ; but if such contemptible treachery is approved of, { leave a right-thiakiny public to determine.

[now return my thanks to the many elec tors Who supported my candidature; and al- though at the pr accidentally defeated by the act of a traitor, whom [ looked upon as a friend and for whom I secured a large num- iber of votes, I wll, at the next election, have ithe pleasure of again soliciting the support of
