The seconder (Mr. Ho Tung) of the proposition moved by Six Paul Chater, the chairman, for the adoption of the report and accounts, pertinently alludes to the position held by the Dock Co. in this promising industrial world of ours with which the busi- ness community of Hongkong is most im mediately concerned. With the destiny of our local Docks a large proportion of the capital and interest of Hongkong are bound up.
So that for the conclu sion to be arrived at-without challenge CELEBRATED that the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co. holds an unassailable position without an equal in the East, it is saying much for the community by whose industry, capital and enterprise so endurable a business has been built up for this important base of British Colonial and Imperial interests in China.

1 inform you this difficulty is in no way lessened, It is only by most careful manipulation that we are able to give our regular constituents even partial satisfaction. As you are aware the No. Dock has been lengthened to 576 feet to accommodate such sized steamers as the Korea and beria for docking, but it is still too short to permit of the propeller shafts of these steamers being withdrawn, and to en. able us to do this work, it is absolutely neces sary that it be further lengthened. It is manifest that if we cannot undertake the work of with drawing their propeller shafts, such steamers will have to dock where it can be accomplished, As briefly noti ed in the reppe, we have now ordered the engines, dynames, electric motors and condensing plant for the electric power extension at Kowloon. The two boilers for this service have been salisfactorily tested at Kowloon, and will abortly be placed in the rower house. The old engine works has been cleared of most of the machines and they have been transferred to the new shops into suitable grouping for the electric drive.

The promende concert which took place on Saturday night at the Volunteer Parade Ground was a distinct success. The night was fine and clear and sufficiently cool to make the fête thoroughly enjoyable.
