Tnx evils of the credit system which flourishes in this Colony are too frequently practically exemplified to need much comment. Indeed it would hardly be much use commenting at length upon them- they would go on just the same. But we should just like to say a word or two about them. The credit principle is a handy one when used in reason, but in the Far East generally, and Hongkong in particular, it is grossly abused. By the Abyssinia, only this week, three individuals left this Colony "under a cloud" through nothing else but the fatal facility with which they could run up accounts with tradesmen and brokers. One of them had sorely expiated his folly, and has gone, let us hope; a wiser, man. The other two were more lucky. One was indeed caught

She was happy enough to have her last days assuaged by her stern" dedication to Him who is the universal comforter. It is really sad to think of a life spent in strict abnegation. In order to reach the object of her admiration the j∙last decade of her life was dedicated to the study | of high sciences—Mathematics and the higher branches of Geography--a Professor having been engaged for the purpose.

· PRIZE MEETINGS.
Two Prize meetings were held during the year, riz, in March and November respectively, on a scale never before attempted, there being 40 competitions, besides Pools, Running Man, Vanishing Targets, and Rook Rifle competitions. There were also Morris Tube competitions for Cadels, i.c. for youths of the Hongkong Public Schools. The magnitude of these meetings may. be noted from the fact that the receipts and expenditure of each meeting amounted to $2,013.56 and $1,877.99 respectively.
The total number of members for the year amounts to 202, as against 108 (including Indies) for 1887.
