The fact of his Excellency having left the steamer and set out on board the launch Victoria for the what, was made known to the crowds gathered on the Hongkong side by aniute from some gunboats, guard of honour from the A. & S. High- landers and the band of the same regiment were drawn up near the wharf to receive the party,' and immediately his Excellency landed he was rrerived midst much cheering and handshaking with the strains of the national anthem. From the wharf bis Excellency proceeded to Govern. ment House by way of Pedder Street, Wyndham Street, and Glenesly, the route being lined with palice.

THE HONGKONG HIGH-LEVEL TRAMWAYS COMPANY,
LIMITED.
The sixth ordinary general meeting of the above nimed company was held at the Hong- kong Hotela neon on the zoth inst. There were present Mr. J. A. Sonnaville (Chairman); Meisti, J. Anderson and. Ewens (Consulting Commit- tee); G. Murray Bain, J. C. dos. Remedios, W. K. Wylie (Superintendent) and a few others,
The Chairman said the report luued on the 16th instant contained all that he had to say on the subject of the company's affairs which were not so bright as he could wish. It must be remembered, however, that the year now drawing to a close had been saexceptionally bad one for Hongkong, and it was reasonable to assume that next year if not better, would certalaly be no worse. There were reasons for bellowing that the Com- pany's receipts would be considerably augmented next year owing to the opening of two new boteli at the Peak. Ha wou'd be glad to answer any questions which any of the shareholders might be disposed to put to him,
In answer to questions the Chitraan sald sum of $30,000 was still owing to the general managers, and that the cost of coal might be reduced considerably in the near future il tisfactory arrangements could be made with the Tonquin Cal Company whose conl had been fried during the past year with highir saflsfactory results. The Tonquia coal used for trial was found to be dearer than other kinds procurable in the market. But when large and regular quantities were pur- chased a material reduction in the cost price of the Torquin article would doubtless end in i. benefit to the shareholders.
The Chairman then moved the adoption of the report and accounts, Mr. Bain seconded and
It was carried mene.com.
Mr. W. H. Wylie proposed the selection of Messrs, P. Ryrie and C. Ewens and]. Anderson as members of the Consulting Committee. It was secanded by Mr. J. C. da Cunha and carried unanimously, as also was the appointment of Mr. R. Lyall as Auditor for the ensuing year,
A vole of thanks to the Chairman concluded the proceedings.
The following is the report -
The General Managers beg to lay before the Shareholders the annexed Statement of Accounts of the Company for the year ended 35th Novem-' ber 1890.
The total receipis for the twelve months amount to $25,203,20, including $18 Transfer fees, the working expenses to $24.170.31, the profit on the year's working to $1,032.99
The General Managers wish however to state that next year the cast of one rope will have to be provided for out of the Working Account as the cost of two roper is already Included in the Permanent Way Account and of one rope in the Suspense Account. It therefore will be seen that, unless the receipts Increase largely, there is na prospect of the Com-any paying a dividend for some time to come, especially is the Su pense Account will have to be gradually written off out of earnings,
The General Managers and the Committee have carefully considered the question of the loss through the landslip in May 1889. and. having regard to the position of the Company and to the uncertainty of law, they cannot recommend that suit be proceeded with, although they aro advised that they have a good
CIC.
The General Managers earnestly hope, that as it is evident the running of the Tramway is only benefitting the Peak Residents and the Public, the Government will do itt best to assist the Company.
1st By remitting taxation which is extremely high.
and By making a new road from Plantation Road to Magazine Gap which would increase the traffic and benefit the residents there.
3rd By an alteration in the system of trials. We believe the Board of Trade in England does not require such tests for similar Tram Ways as the Government here inaitis upon, which teats cause interruption in the traffic and strains the permanent way.
It obvious that the present fares are high, and although it is impossible to make an immediate reduction, it is hoped that pew roads and the @pening of the two hotels on the hill will enable the Company to make a reduction.
·CONSULTING COMMITTER.
On the resignation of Mr. B. Layton, Mr. C. Ewens was invited to join the Committee.
In accordance with Rale 15 of the Company's Articles of Association, the present members, the Horourable P. Rytle, and Messrs. J. Anderson and C. Exens, relire, but being eligible, offer themselves for re-election,

At a mark of appreciation of the Sergeant. Major's conduct, Mr. Hewett sent to England and procured a splendid cavalry word in buff leather scabbard mounted with silver fixings and and belt to match. This was presented to the Sergeant Major on November 7th last, Captain Beeston addressing him in Hindustani in the
presence of the non-Commissioned officers of the Force at Head-Quarters. Sergeant Major Jaar Singh made a suitable response and buck" d on his new acquisition. The Sergeant Major's health was drunk by his comrades, and the men returned to barracks.

The Flag Staff at Goverment Hoose, and the one in front of the Government Offices, were gally dressed with bunting, the age of all nations waving to the cool breeze from the Bay. Pic- nies and shooting excursions seemed to be the order of the day, a few going in for the dolce fa wiends in their shady bungalows. In the evening there was a' ball at Government House which was largely attended, all Sandakan being there to indulge in the worship of Terpsichore. The dancing was kept up' with great spirit, some eighteen ladies being present, while the non-" dancers of the male sex beguiled the passing hour with whist, and cut-throat euchre.
