The first annual meeting of shareholders in the above Company was held at the offices, 20, Des Voeux Road, on the 25th ult., when there were prosent-Messrs.

The notice convening the meeting having been read by the MANAGER,
The
The CHAIRMAN Baid — Gentlemen: Report and Accounts having been in your hands for some days, we shall, with your per- mission, take them as read. As you are aware, this is our first year of existence, and I think you will agree with me that the results attained You will note that, are very satisfactory. although the guaranteed dividend is 10 per cent., we have been able to declare 12 per cent., besides writing off a substantial amount on account of goodwill. You will also observe that we did not consider it necessary to write off anything from the value of the steamers. As explained in the report, these steamiers stand in our books so low that we may safely allow them to stand at their present valu- ation. As was orignally intended, we. during the year, ordered a third boat from Messrs. Bailey and Murphy, which was completed to our entire satisfaction, and is now employed in the regular work of the Company. With all our boats fully employed, we may not unreason. ably hope to show better results at our next meeting. The steamers of the Company are all working satisfactorily. With these few remarks, gentlemen, I will now propose the adoption of the report and accounts unless any shareholder wishes to ask any questions, which I shall be pleased to answer to the best of my ability.
There being no questions, the CHAIRMAN proposed the adoption of the report and ac- counts.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Joseph, and carried unanimously.

MR. HANSON'S XI v. MR. BROWN'S XI. This match was played on the Cricket Ground on the 23rd ult., the recent upholders of Hongkong's reputation in the Interport matches being given a rest. Mr. Brown's XI won an easy victory by 150 runs on the first innings, chiefly owing to the effective_batting of Burnie. Sheward, and Hooper. Hanson'e team performed very poorly in the first inningss but Woodgates and Goldring distinguished themselves in the second venture. Scores and analysis :-
