The recent annual report of John G. Cav-anagh, secretary and treasurer, shows a balance of ,084.47 in the bank and it is almost all made up of liberal contributions from turfmen, the most liberal of the year being one sportsman who contributed 00 anonymously. James F. Johnson is president of the society, with John G. Cavanagh the secretary and treasurer, while the executive committee, to which much credit is due, is composed of Thomas Welsh, chairman ; Thomas J. Healey, Edward Callahan, Michael Champion, Christopher J. Fitz Gerald, James Fitzsimmons, J. Simon Healy, Walter B. Jennings, Andrew J. Joyner, Sam Lewis, Jlax Marks, Thomas Shaw and John Walters. It is just such a society that is an eloquent testimonial of the charity which has ever been proverbial of those having to do with the breeding and the racing of the thoroughbred horse.
