AGAIN FOR THOSE WHO MISS IT NOW, SO PLEASE COME TO-DAY TO SEE
·DAYLIGHT THEFT.
Three valuable gold cigarette cases and three watches, valued at £800, were LOSSES DUE TO CANTON UNREST. stolen from the house of the Marquis of Carisbrooke, who is a son of Princess, Beatrice, Queen Victoria's daughter, and, therefore, a cousin of the King.
The fifth ordinary yearly meeting of the Hongkong and Canton Ice Manufae turing Company, Ltd., was held at the Company's town office, No. 3, Lower Albert Road, yesterday morning, Mr. T Q. Weall presiding.
Others present were Messrs. A. S. D. Cousland, Leung Yan Fo and Ho Kom Tong (Directors), and Mr. J. D. Thomson (Acting Secretary), also the following shareholders: Messrs. A. Stevenson, W. Macfarlane. A. A. Alves, Chan Nai Pan and Chan Iu Nam
The thieves broke into the house in Bal- grave-place, S. W., during the day, while Lard Carisbrooke' was in the City. The servants were busy at their duties in the house. The thieves were not seen, and escaped without being disturbed.
The strange point about the theft is that other valuable articles were left untouched, and only the drawer in which the cigarette cases and the watches had been placed for safety was ransacked.
Balcony Entrance...“ p
The theory which has been expressed is that the thief or thieves entared the house from the balcony on the first floor of Lord Dartmouth's house next door. The balconies of adjoining houses are in an easy position for gaining access.
The drawer from which the valuables were taken had been thoroughly search- ed, as though the thieves had intended to take only those objects for which they could find a market. Scotland-yard suspect that the theft was the work of some one who was in the employment of a collector abroad. They state that the valuables could not be sold to the or dinary receiver of stolen goods.
After the notice" convening the meeting had been read by the Secretary, j
The CHAIRMAN said: "propose briefy to refer, in the course of my remarks, to such items as call for consideration.
I will now invite your attention to the balance sheet, which, I regret to say, shows a loss for the period under review of $27.54. Your Directors recommend the audition of this amount to the bal ance standing at the debit of the Prot and Loss Accourt thus increasing the same to $41,255.49. The auditors in their report mention that no depreciation La been provided for, your Directora do not deem it advisable to make provision for depreciation this year in view of the relying on the floor. sult of the year's working as such would only increase the balance at the debit of the proft and loss account.
The Company's buildings are, I am pleased to say, in excellent condition, the same applies to the machinery, the continuous, though light running of which has proved much more economical-than- would have been the case had we closed down the Factory and allowed it to re- main idle. Depreciation must, however, be the first charge against future profits. Unsettled Conditions.
Lord Carisbrooke gave a Daily Ex- reas representative a vivid account of his return from the City and his dis covery of the robbery.
I went upstairs to my room," he said, "suspecting nothing, and then I Saw a leather jewel case, in which or dinarily I kept one of my best watches, I was alarmed and rushed to examine the drawer. It had been ransacked, and the cigarette cases and watches were taken. Two of the watches I valued at far more than their intrinsic value, because they were the property of my dead brother, Prince Maurice of Battenberg.

"I do not expect that the stolen goods will be returned to me, for they were not of the type that could not easily be traced. I understand that, footmarks have been found on the balcony of my house, and that they afford the police

"I hope, however, that the stolen pro- perty may be returned."

No Charge For Services.
I might mention that the General Managers have again made no charge for their services, the same applies to the Directors and Secretary...
During the year the Rev. Father Robert resigned from the Directorate on leaving the Colony. I should like to place on record your Directors appreciation of Father Robert's valuable assistance to the Company as one of its Directors. Since the closing of the accounts Mr. R. M. Austin has joined the Board; his ap- pointment will require confirmation at the next annual meeting.
With these few remarks I propose that the report and accounts as presented be adopted.
Mr. LEUNG YAN Po seconded the adop. tion of the report and accounts, which vere passed unanimously.
Other Business.
On the proposition of Mr. MACFARLANE, seconded by Mr. CEAN IU NAM, Mr. Weal and Mr. Lau Tick Cheuk, retiring direc tors, were re-elected.
Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth & Fleuring were re-elected auditors for the ensuing year at a remuneration of 3250 on the proposition of Mr. Alves, seconded by Mr. CHAN NAI PAN.
The CHAIRMAN expressed his regret that they were unable to declare a dividend.
This was all the business.
