The Council met pursuant to adjournment.
The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 27th ultimo, were read and confirmed.
VOTE OF MONEY REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-
C.S.O. 66 of 1886,
W. H. MARSH.
The Officer Administering the Government lays before the Council an application which he has received from the Chairman of the Commission appointed by Sir GEORGE BOWEN in January, 1885, to arrange for the proper representation of Hongkong at the Colonial and Indian Exhi- bition to be held in London this year. The Chairman on behalf of the Commission asks for a further grant by Government of £2,000 to meet the expenditure on account of the exhibits forwarded by this Colony, the sum of £500 which was voted by this Council on 4th November, last, having proved wholly inadequate for that object.
Part of the exhibits have already gone forward, and the remainder are nearly ready to be shipped. His Excellency recommends the Council to vote the further sum now asked for, by the Commission, to enable the Colony to be worthily represented at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition.
