 The Act of the General Synod, 1872, chapter V., which altered 
 the former connexion between St. Patrick's Cathedral and the 
 Diocese of Dublin, entrusted to the Cathedral Board the general 
 management and financial arrangements of the Cathedral, together 
 with the appointment and payment of the choirmen and lay officers 
 — excepting the Verger. 
 
 The Board consists of the Dean, the Precentor, the Dean's 
 Vicar, and the Succentor, together with /our other members elected 
 in every third year by the Dean and Chapter out of their own 
 number, and eight laymen elected in like manner at the same time 
 by the Synodsmen and Registered Vestrymen of the Cathedral. 
 
 The funds at the disposal of the Cathedral Board consist of — 
 
 I. The Annual Income from ordinary sources applicable to 
 current expenses. 
 
 II. The Interest on the Capital of the Stipend Fund — 
 designed to provide for the permanent maintenance of the Cathedral 
 
 B 2 
 
( 6 ) 
 
 after the loss of the services of the present annuitants — Clergy, 
 Vicars-Choral, and Choirmen — whose average age is now 57. 
 
 III. The Interest on the Balances left by the Composi- 
 T 1 >ns of the Clergy of the Cathedral. 
 
 I. — The Annual Income. 
 This is derived from — 
 
 1. Annual Subscriptions and Collections. 
 
 2. Offertory and Box Collections. 
 
 3. Diocesan Contributions. 
 
 1. The Annual Subscriptions consist in great measure of contri- 
 butions from persons wishing to be qualified for registration as 
 Vestrymen by an annual subscription of/'i from an accustomed 
 member of the congregation, or of £$ from any other adult 
 member of the Church of Ireland. The Cathedral Board have 
 exerted themselves to increase the number of such subscribers, but 
 they have barely succeeded in filling up the gaps caused by the 
 removal of old supporters. The amount received annually under 
 this head has been as follows : —

 These figures include some small contributions collected by the 
 cards of a few friends of the Cathedral. 
 
 2. The Offertory and Box Collections form the most important 
 source of income. They have varied much from year to year, 
 producing on an average ^690 per annum, in addition to the 
 special collections made for pious and charitable purposes outside 
 the Cathedral. When the average amount of the Sunday Offertory 
 is considered in connexion with the numbers who attend the 
 services, it appears that nearly half the worshippers, especially at 
 the Sunday afternoon services, leave the Church without contri- 
 
( 7 ) 
 
 buting anything at all. Much difficulty is found by the collectors 
 in bringing the Offertory plates within the reach of all at crowded 
 festival services, but boxes are placed in different parts of the 
 Cathedral, and one is held at the door. It is only reasonable that 
 those who wish to avail themselves of the Cathedral services 
 should take some trouble to contribute to the necessary cost. 
 The amount of the Offertory collections during the last five years 
 has been : —

 3. Diocesan Contributions. — When the Cathedral was made a 
 National Institution, and a right was given to each united diocese 
 in turn to elect a Canon to a vacant stall, it was felt that every 
 diocese in Ireland became interested in the maintenance of the 
 Cathedral ; and the several dioceses, as their turn for election 
 came round (and some of them before that time), and as the state 
 of their diocesan funds permitted, have contributed to the annual 
 income. The amount derived from this source has been —

 In some cases a stipend has also been provided by the dioceses 
 for their representative Canons, in consideration of the expense 
 which residential duty involves. The following return shows the

 The turns for the two united dioceses of Kilmore, Elphin, and 
 Ardagh, and Limerick, Ardfert, and Aghadoe, to elect to the 
 Cathedral, have not yet come round. 
 
 The Annual Income is also entitled to a fee of £ \ upon the 
 installation of each newly appointed Canon. 
 
 The Annual Current Expenses include : — 
 
 (i). Stipends for Clerical Vicars and Minor Canons (as 
 they may be appointed), and of Choirmen — a charge which will 
 continually increase as vacancies occur in the ranks of annui- 
 tants. 
 
 (2). Salaries for the Choristers and the cost of their 
 Grammar School and Musical Education. 
 
 (3). Salaries for the Cathedral Officers, most of whom 
 compounded their annuities, leaving balances in the capital of the 
 Stipend Fund, and receiving salaries for the continued discharge 
 of their duties. 
 
 (4). Repairs of the fabric, Heating and Light. 
 
 (5). The various Miscellaneous Expenses of the Cathedral. 
 
 The amount of these expenses under these several heads has 
 been for the last five years as follows : —

 Comparison of Annual Income with Current Expenses. 
 
 If all who make use of the Cathedral were regular contributors 
 to the funds, the Annual Income would provide a considerable 
 
( 
 
 IO 
 
 ) 
 
 addition to the capital of the Stipend Fund after all the current 
 expenses had been met ; but in each succeeding year since the 
 system was brought into working order it has been necessary to 
 draw upon the revenue of the Stipend Fund to meet the deficiency 
 of the Annual Income. The deficiency on this account, in 1875, 
 amounted to ^555 13^. iod., and in 1876, to ^384 7^. od.

 II. — The Stipend Fund. 
 
 This Fund, on which the permanent maintenance of the Cathe- 
 dral must mainly depend, is derived from — 
 
 (a). The balances left by the Cathedral officers on their 
 compounding. 
 
 (b). Donations and Bequests received since the disestablish- 
 ment of the Church of Ireland ; and notably of ^3000 from 
 Sir Arthur E. Guinness, Bart., m. p. ; ^2500 from Edward 
 Cecil Guinness, Esq., d. l., and of ^400 from Very Rev. The 
 Dean of St. Patrick's. 
 
 (c). The accumulation of the interest on this Fund and on the 
 Clerical Composition Balances, after the deficits on the balance of 
 Annual Income and Current Expenses have been met.

 III. — Clerical Composition Balances. 
 
 This Fund consists of the balances left on compounding out of 
 the Commutation capital of the late Precentor — The Most Rev. 
 Lord Plunket, d. d. ; the late Chancellor — the Rev. E. W. 
 Whately; and the late Rev. Charles E. Wright, B.D., who was a 
 clerical Vicar and Preacher. The capital, which amounts to 
 ^"6697 12s. ^.d., is still subject to the claims of the commuting 
 clergy throughout Ireland, and cannot be drawn from the 
 hands of the Representative Body. The interest, amounting to 
 ^271 igs. od., is placed at the disposal of the Cathedral Board 
 for Cathedral sustentation purposes, and has generally been 
 added to the capital of the Stipend Fund. The annuities extin- 
 guished by composition amounted to ^"542 6s. 2d. 
 
 * The great reduction of the Stipend Fund in 1876 arose out of the transfer to 
 the Cathedral of an annuity, on account of which a sum of £"2326 ior. $d. was 
 paid out of this Fund, and a sum of £"2525 IU. §d. was added to the Cathedral 
 Commutation capital {vide p. 13).

 Deanery Endowment Fund. 
 
 In April 1874, the General Synod authorised the Representative 
 Body to allocate the interest on a sum of ^"5000 — being a part of 
 the unappropriated balance of the Private Endowment Fund — 
 towards the endowment of the Deanery of St. Patrick's, provided 
 that within a year a like sum should be raised for this purpose. 
 This condition was subsequently modified into the expression of a 
 hope that every effort should be made to secure an adequate 
 income for future Deans. The Fund, as it now stands, consists of 
 the contributions received since the account was opened, together 
 with the accumulation of interest thereon, and on the ^"5000 
 during the same period. The progress of the Fund may be traced 
 as follows : —

 Commutation Capital. 
 
 The commutation capital connected with the Cathedral con- 
 sists of what now remains of the commutation money of such of 
 the Clergy, Vicars-Choral, and Members of the Choir as were 
 awarded life annuities under the Irish Church Act. The sum 
 originally received by the Representative Body amounted to 
 £b$,i']3 9$- 5^-, chargeable with annuities amounting to 
 ^5165 11s. 8d. ; but this has been greatly reduced (1) by com- 
 position, £2910 19s. 3d. having been paid to compounders, and 
 £6697 12s. \d. transferred to Clerical Composition Balances Fund 
 {vide p. 11 ); (2) by advances to the annuitants on terms mutually 
 advantageous to them and to the Cathedral, rendering this capital 
 more secure — advances amounting to ^10,700, having extin- 
 guished annuities amounting to ^"846 3s. id. ; and (3) by the 
 payment of the annuities; for while the interest to the 31st Dec, 
 1876, amounted to /"8001 gs. yl., the annuities paid during the 
 same period amounted to ^"17,467 11s. lod. The annuities 
 
( 13 ) 
 
 hargeable have, in addition, been reduced to the extent of 
 "261 3J. 3d. by the deaths of annuitants, viz. : — 
 
 Ven. C. Wolseley, Archdeacon of Glandelagh ; 
 
 Dr. Francis Robinson, Lay Vicar-Choral ; 
 
 Mr. William Topham, Choirman ; 
 o that the balance on the 31st December, 1876, was ^37,924 6s. 8d., 
 nd the annuities then payable amounted to ^"3637 igs. zd.

 Guinness Choir Improvement Scheme. 
 
 Early in 1876 Sir Arthur E. Guinness, Bart., m. p., and Edward 
 Cecil Guinness, Esq., d. l., informed the Cathedral Board of 
 their intention to contribute a sum of /'soo per annum, to be 
 expended in such a manner as to be generally beneficial to the 
 Cathedral without relieving the Members of the Church of Ireland 
 of the duty of maintaining their National Cathedral in the ordinary 
 way. At the request and with the assistance of the generous 
 donors, a scheme was drawn up with a view to the increased de- 
 velopment of a School of Sacred Music in connexion with the 
 Cathedral, and chiefly by means of the Choristers' School and 
 the Amateur Choir. The improvements provided for included 
 the following : — 
 
 1. Removal of the Grammar School to better premises. 
 
 2. Accommodation for boarding Choristers and Probationers. 
 
 3. Extra Choristers/lips, at increased salaries. 
 
 4. An Exhibition in Trinity College, connected with the Gram- 
 
 mar School. 
 
 5. Better Instruction in Singing for Choristers and Amateur 
 
 Choir. 
 
 6. Free Instruction in Piano and Organ for six boys. 
 
 7. Appointment of three Choral Exhibitioners and three Choral 
 
 Assista?its, from the Amateur Choir, to receive special in- 
 struction in Singing, and to assist in the Choir on certain 
 specified occasions. 
 
 8. Appointment of extra Choirmen — one Tenor and one Bass. 
 
 9. Establishment of a Weekly Rehearsal. 
 
 A Sub-Committee was appointed to carry into effect this scheme, 
 and their efforts have already been attended with great success, as 
 is evidenced by the great improvement during the past year in all 
 the services of the Cathedral, but especially in those of Sunday 
 morning and Saturday afternoon. This is only an earnest of what 
 
( 15 ) 
 
 may be expected from the continuous operation of the scheme, by 
 which so great advantages are made available for the Choristers 
 and the Members of the Amateur Choir. 
 
 It is to be understood that the aid thus given to the Cathedral 
 is limited to the objects above specified, which are not included in 
 the ordinary work of the Cathedral, for the support of which the 
 Board must, as usual, depend upon the voluntary contribution of 
 the Members of the Church of Ireland.

 In order to enable the public to compare the financial position
