REDUCTION OF THE CAPITAL OF THE CHINA
AND MANILA S.8. CO., LD.
The Hon. Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.O., instructo3 by Mr. W. Looker (5) Mossrs. Deucon, Locker and Deacon) supposted in application for the Court to condem a special resolution passed at two extraordinary goneral "meetings of the China and Manila Steamship Company, Limited, held last October, for the reduction of the capital of the Compuny from one million, five hundred thousand dollars, divided into thirty thousand shares of $50 each, lo soron hundred and fifty thousand dollars, diršled into the same number of shares at 25 mah. AL amount of $6.6,000 at enital arvount had during the last few years beeu unfortunately lost, and the Company wished to wipe that off. The causes of the loss wore severe competition during the past few roms, ospecially from Japan-
080
steamers, which were furnishing very severe competition in this part of the world, in consequence of their ability to run their steuersul a much cheaper rate, and the Com- pany had felt this competition very severely indeed. Also the loss was due to the general decline of business from Manilu, Thows conses had led to no dividend being paid since 1901, and it was perfectly clear the loss was a per- manent one. Under these circumstances the procedure was very simple. They had to lake throu preliminary staps which they had taken. A special resolution had been passed by the Company: a petition had hem filed in the Court to confirm that resolution, and the words" and reduced" had been added to the name of the Company temporarily, and thirdly. the petition had been advertised. The Court was asked (1) To confirm the resolution; (2) to approve the minute; (3) to allow them to dispense with the further use of the words “and reduel," and (4) to direct the unal advertisement of the Order. The usual course in that Court, was to advertise in the #lazille, and in one English and one Chinese nowspaper.
His Lordship gave his consent, and maile ont the necessary order.

Shortly after play had been recommenced Limpenny distinguished himself. He carried the ball nearly the whole length of the field. evading in turn Batoman, Kempthorne and BoureLivr. The major points were added. Very even play followed. A free kick was given to the Navy on account of one of the Club lifting Lis foot before the ball was thrown into a scrum. The Cub a little later had a free kick for a Navy kalf being off side. There was a Ptr piece of combined pussing between Bateman, Sedgwick, and Jordan. The luster very nearly got through, but was collared naar the line.
Result-Nury, 1 goal (5 points); H.K.F.C., I try. (3 points).
One of the finest games of the season. Both sides exhibited good combination. This in the Navy team was particularly remarkable taking into consideration that the men were drawn
from so many ships. Cantrell, the Navy back, displayed great promptitude of action, while his opposite, Bourchier, was also good. The latter, however, would do better if he ran in to catch the talls instead of waiting for them to bonice. Through this fault he ran the risk of trouble on more than one occasion.

THE BLACK-SEA- SQUADRON.
A Naval officer from Sebastopol informe me. writes the Standard's Odessa correspondent, that, as a matter of fact, the greater part of the Black Sea Squadron has been maintained on a war footing for the last two months, and the ratings have during that time been put through extra drill and gun practice.

According to the Admiralty Recod. the Black Sea Fleet consists of eight battle-ships, three Brst-class ernisers, three neean-going torpedo. boats, six sister grabests, 22 first-class torpedo boats, ten destroyers, five second-class torpedo boats, four training ships, oud eight transports, or, altogether, 7 vessels, with an aggregate displacement of about 144,000 tons, and a total armament of 665 guns and 174 torpedo-tubes.
As a matter of fact, there are no Grat-class ertisers in the Fleet. Such ships us the Pamy, t Merkurya and the Kapitan Sucken might pos sibly have come within that category 20 years ago. The third so-called first d'asi the Ponderaklia, is an old vessel captured from the Turks in 1978. The majority of the torpedo boats are of antiquated types There are only seven modern and serviceable des- troyers. The six sister gunleats are all of something less than 1,000 tons displacement, they are old, and are now employed only as despatch-vessels.
