There was another tedious delay at the start.

mined to hand over to the Head Master what ever portion of the Government Grant should fall to the School in addition to bis own share, A second Master was at the same time engaged from England, partly because of the retirement at Mrs. and Miss Balerdab, Tand pirtly in the hope that by this wep the School would attract more pupils. The total amount for which the Committee thus became responsible was $4.800 for yearly salaries and house allowances alone. Unhappily, instead an increase of pupils, the number actually! decreased. This was attributed by Mr. Bateman, At the beginning of last year (1890) to the opening of Victoria Callege with its attractive quarters and large staff of teachers, and the raising of the efficiency of other schools in the Colbar. All. these schools charge smaller fees: than the Public School could afford to ask. If an increase as to come to the Public School, it must come from the class with whom small fees are an im poitant consideration. In 1889, therefore, while the income bath from fees and donations wAS smaller than in 1888, the expenditure was 10 large that the treasurer was compelled to draw $2,000 from the Endowment Fund to meet it.
Last year (to) was the only year since the opening of the School when us Subscription List was scat round to the Commonity. In the pre- vious year (1889) the Subscriptions only amounted to $932, and even this sum was col- lected with great difficulty. In 1890, had the list STATEMENT BY T. JACKSON, ESQ., OF been sent round, subscriptions to the amount of $1,000 or even $1,500---a vern unlikely figure to reach could only have delayed the closing of the School by a few months. It did not rem honest to atk for subscriptions from the public for an Institution which, was evidently in mribund condition.

Hankow, and the Sol, Captain Scott, performed the journey in three days and five hours last trip, despite the many sloppages she had on the way up, to land or ship her numerous passengers. Trade as yet is however gederally slack, as one may easily perceive on looking at the fine fleet of forchas waiting for cargo near the mouth of the Han River-as well as by the very, light draught appearance of the downward bound steamers the Sual being an exception to the rule, as she, ber Captain and officers, are popular amongst Chinese passengers, and shippers. When the tea season opens of course all this will be changed, and the now nearly deserted streets, will be alive with a busy throng of Ten men, Tea brokers, Ten boy and Tex carriers, all hurrying off fo, the great Tai-pans, or Cha-Sid; with the fragrant leaf.
