No otlier IJi-itwh life office has ever made so largo an addition to fcfandsfo a angle year. - The report, of tne Actuary, together with the various schedules required by tho Colonial Life Acts, is appended hereto, aad closes a surplus of assets over li.abilir.ies ■■Jr« r 3lßt December, ISSG, of £471,740 Us 3d The Board has resolved, in accordanco mth therecobmendation ol Mr Black, to distribute a3 a cash bonus among the mem bors the sum of £342,439 ISs 7<l. The dis tribution is now being proceeded wit! 1, and the bonus certificates will be issued with all possible despatch. In the last annual report the Board announced its intention of opening a branch Of the society in London ; as many of the members, however, were opposed to the proposal the directors have determined to sbariiKii it. , The Board finding that Mr Ral-ston's health prevented him from rtisoharijHij; his duties satisfactorily, obtained a confidential report from Dr. Mackenzie then chief medical officer, and upon that report re quired ifr" Ralston to retire from bis position. The Board, further, in the bolicf that this would be in the best interests of the' Society, gave him a retiring allow pee of £1,200 per annum. By a re adjustment of the offices fcho salaries at-the head office for tho year I.SS7, including the allowance to Mr Kalston, ml) not exceed those paid in ISSfi. The Boad desires to take this opportunity of placing on record its highest appreciation of the Tamable services which Mr Ralston rendered to the Society during his connec to with it. The vacancy has been tilled by lie appointment of Mr Richard Teece. Mhg the year the Society sustained a bto;loss in' the death of Dr. W». F. Madame, who for ten years occupied the rfoiof chief medical referee. I)r Mac hinse's intimate acquaintance with the' 'difia'ol his office, and the zeal and en-*. tSuaasm which he brought tobear in the por fcnttn'ce of such duties enabled him to ren fototheSocietysingularlyefficiont services. B«Board recommend that some recogni tion pf these services be made by the mem dai; I. .C. Cox, Esq., M.D., has been imminfed to fill the vacancy caused by Dr. Mackenzie's death.

Os the sth May last a committee of nine members was appointed to confer with the Board, and advice "what further altera tions in the by-laws and amendments in the Acts of Incorporation, if any, are in their opinion necessary and expedient." The Board regret that so long a time has elapsed in presenting to the members the result of the labours of the committee, but as effect could not be given to the new by-laws at the annual meeting no inconvenience has arisen , from tlje delay, whilst the Board has had greater opportunity for giving the question % ttrosiaeration it deserves. A special wKflff of the members lias been convened to be held on the Ifi'fcli May next for the purpose of altering and amending the exist ingcode of by-laws. The directors have made 0 careful scrutiny of the Society's mortgage securities in New South Wales, and have sot-iefied (--heras^lVes that these are sound .and in every instance exhibit a satisfactory margin in execs" of tho atnount advanced. 'Certificates have been received from the local boards regarding tho mortgage securities in the other colonies ; with tne exception of that from SpuMi •Australia, these are of the most satisfactory character. In that colony, where unusual depression lias existed, ife has been found necessary to acquire by foreclosure proper ties held as securities for advances, amount »g to £7,327 3s Gd. Tho board does not, however, anticipate that any loss will be sustained on these investment?. Be Society's freehold properties occupied * intended as business premises rtand in lt« balance-sheet as an asset for £340,490 \% These have been revalued by com to valuers a t £397,141 Os lid; tho sectors, however, have determined r.ot to '•jdl the surplus by the increase of £i1,G50 ''i«l shown in the valuation.

A TEMPERANCE CLUB FOX FREEMAN'S BAY.

A meeting was > held on Wednesday in the Freeman's Bay Hall, for the purpose of es tablishing a Temperance Club for working men in tWa locality. Sir William Fox was called to the chair, and requested Mr W. H. Smith to state the natm-o of the proposed enterprise. Mr Smith, said that aft present working men, of whom there were a great number in the neigh bourhood, had no place other than the public-house to spend their evenings, and no convenient opportunity for mental or moral improvement. Ho suggested that this club should have all the attractions of the familiar English institution known as the "British Workman Public - House," ix nominal charge to ha made for a<hni?Mon to membership, while any otjo who chose could be an honorary member on payment of ono guinea per annum. The daily papers and various or.hor periodicals are to be provided ; also, games of various kinds. A portion of the promises id to be set apart as a gymnasium, St., tor youths, and another as a coffee room, whore refreshments can bo lukl at moderate charges. It is fully expected that the institution will be self supporting when once fairly started, but it will require an immediate outlay of some £201) to furnish and rit up the very suitable building which has been secured in a Mibsf.untiid and attractive man ner. Those present pledged themselves to do their best to collect tho amount required. The following were appointed as a provisional Board of Management: Chair man, Kir Win. Fox ; Messrs W. S. Wilson (of " New Zealand Herald "), W. J. .Speight, S. J. Ambiiry, A. C Brown, \V. Beaumont (EvHviNf: Star), W. H. Smith (of Messrs Smith and Caqghoy), Hanlan, Tate, Gallot ;ind l.>nrr!»gh. Mr T. E. Montgomery was appointed lion. Secretary and Treasurer. TliO Committee hope that the public of the city irrespective of creed or class will contribute generously towards the sum re quired, believing this to be a most useful and necessary institution. It was also mentioned that some who could *nofc offer money might render gratuitous assistance in the litting up and furnishing of the place.

Contributions may be sent to any of tho above gentlemen, or to the Secretary, Mr T, E. Montgomery, at Messrs Smith ami Caughcy's.

HOW AMATEUR THEATRICALS ARE WORKED.

[UV TELEGRAPH. - OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

.'. .. Dusedin, this day. Some amusing details of how Amateur Theatrical Clubs are run at the expense of poor printers and confiding friends was given daring the examination of Percy Hubbard, erstwhile ntnge manager of the Dunedin Private Theatrical Co-operative Club, when he was put through bis facings by tho Oflicial Assignee. The bankrupt said when he came here from- Christ church he had £1 in cash. Ho lived on advances mode by the Colonial Mutual Ollico. He had no other source of income. His liabilities were due to the Tram Company, the " Herald," " Times," Mr Cillon, Mr Sibbald, and others. They were in connection with the production of " Our Boys."' His other liabilities were for board and lodging, boots, &c. . The Assignee : There seems to be about £'2(J in connection with this play. For whom was io produced ? . Bankrupt: For myself. Assignee : Was there not a club that you were connected with in this performance ?

Bankrupt :No club whatever. The per formance* were givon solely for my benefit. The ladies and gentlemen gave their ser vices for my benefit. Assignee: Tell me the exact circum stances. How often were performances given 'i The bankrupt said there were two per forcnahces, or rather two pieces, played. Ho first started them. He proposed to start a club of 250 members, who should among them contribute £175. They were to give five private performances, and he calculated they would realise £35 each ; out of which he would make a profit of £10 for each ■"■performance. It any money above £35 for each performance was received, it was to bo given to a local charity. He was to pay aU expenses out of tho re ceipts. He had got sixty subscribers at £1 each, one at l(ss, and this money was placed in the hands of two trustees on behalf of the subscribers". If the full number of five per formances was not given, the trustees were to return to the subscribers a due propor tion ot their subscriptions. As^ocp : How much of this sum re mains ?n the trustee's hands ? The bankrupt: None. I have received two instalments of £16 16s. I used them to live on, and also to pay some small ac counts in connection with the performance?. Assignee : What accounts did you pay? Bunkrupt : I wn scarcely say now; they were for small things in connection with the plays. Assignee : You admit that you, and not the club, wero liable for all the accounts hi connection with the performances ? Bankrupt : Yes ; because i was really the club. . Assignee : How much money was taken at the performances ? Bankrupt :At the performance of "Partner lor Life," there was lT> J4fl fid taken at tho doors, and £15 15s seats re served. Assignee :'What became of the money i Bnnkrupt: 1 handed it to the trustees to refund the money 1 had used for private purposes.. The loss was £20 2s lid on that performance. All accounts in connec tion with it were paid. 1 got a bill lor £30 discounted for the purpose, and had to pay 13 interest. On two performances of & Our Boys " £61 JOs 6d was taken at the doore outside of the subscribers' money. Assignee : What was done with that!. Bankrupt produced a statement showing several sums ho had paid away, including £5 for board and lodging, and £5 for bank ruptcy fees. Bankrupt paid he was not aware of hia position until'last Monday. He did not know he was so short till then, when he made up what he had'to receive and what to pay. Some of his creditors were pressing him, and go he had to file. Assignee : You must have been per fectly aware of your debts at Christchurch, Tiniaru, arid Oamaru. You must, there fore, have known that you were insolvent. Bankrupt: None of those creditors wore me. The Assignee commented very strongly on the whole proceeding. The bankmpb said he always hoped of clearing off liabilities. Eighteen months ago he was in the same state, and managed to pay off his creditors shortly. He ex pected, when ho came to Dunedin, to get up a performance.once a fortnight, and that ho would make at least £5 a week out of them. Ho came down here as agonfc for the Colonial Mutual Insurance Office.
