AT THE SAILORS' HOME.
On Tuesday, the 8th inst, a portion of the crew, representing many nations, was paid off,
for Liao-yang, finally delivering the message from Gen: Stossel to Gen. Kuropatkin, who was so delighted with him that he immediately con ferred on him the Cross of St. George,
On returning to Port Arthur young Souyeff was captured by the Japanese, but managed to escape, jumping on a bire-backed horse, though he was wounded in the shoulder by a bullet while galloping away. On his retuin Gen. Stossel again. decorated him for his plucky
escape.
No sooner was his wound healed than the young hero made another sortie, and succeeded in penetrating the Japanese camp, which he thoroughly explored, taking away with him the breech of a Japanese cannon, in order to prove that he had really visited the spot, and that his information was correct. For this exploit be received still another decoration.
RUSSIAN AND JAPANESE WAR SHIPS COMPARED.

SIR HIRAM MAXIM.
An English journalist has obtained the fol lowing expression of opinion from Sir. fliram Maxim, the head of the great firm of gun and armament constructors;-
"The Russians are not as good fighters as the Japanese, man for man and ship for ship" he said, "and i think we may safely reckon that one Japanese ship is as good as any two Russian, considering the way they are handled. "All the world knows that England is build ing two big battleships for Japan, but we are not allowed to deliver them until the conclusion of the war. The Japanese, however, having

The Chairman said :-Gentlemen,--The re- port and accounts having been in your posses. adopt the customary course and take them as sion for some days, I will, with your permission, read. Your directors are very pleased to be statement of the year's working, and you will have noticed in the report it is proposed to lay before you a scheme of Capitalization at an extraordinary meeting to be held immediately after this, which i trust will meet with your approval. We are glad to inform you that the herd is in excelent condition. Our importation of high class caule from Scotland has turned out so successful that we have ordered another shipment, and although the initial cost is very heavy the result so for has justified the outlay, The general turn-over in all departments of the business shows a large increase during the last few years, and as there seems to be no limit to the growth of this colony, we must always be in advance of the demand which may be made upon us. In order to accomplish this, you can readily understand our expenses
are proportionately greater than our immediate increase of business. To meet our increased demand several new sheds have been built, more land has been placed under cultivation and a house is now in course of construction at Pokfonium on account of the sld quarters being fund insufficient for our staff. We have recently purchased the stock and business of the Frozen Food Supply, which we hope will turn out a profitable investment; it is, however, too early to form any opinion. We are con vinced that the quality of Australian meat is superior to the local article, but in order to compete with the latter and the idiosyncracies of Chinese compradores and servants at the moment we barely pay expenses. We have contracts to supply H. M. Navy and Army stationed here who are very satisfied with the quality, and we hope that the climatic con- ditions in Australia will be of such a nature

INCREASE OF CAPITAL.
At 5.15 p.m. to-day an extraordinary meeting of the Company was beid, the members above all being present. The notice convening the meeting having been read, by the secretary;
as befit ed the society player of Piccadilly, wore the shiniest of patent boots and a shirt front which might have been made of ivory.
It used to be said of the late Wilson Barrett
that when he had been killed on the sings and lay with staring eyes, he was able to estimate he money in the house with approximate preci- sion; in much the same way, when, uring his opponent's break, John Roberts, sat down and sent his head apparently in deep thought, he was making practial use of his patent boots. But pictorial charm would not lave sufficed to tempt people to sit in the gloom on the › gyptian Will while outside the sun shone wardly and nature wore her gladdest sunile.

Feeling him self wounded John, who held a knotted cane in his hand, swung round and hit his assailant over the head with the cane, cutting his nose, blacking both eyes, and bruising his lips, with one single blow. Other friends of John then came up to investigate the cause of the dis- turbance, when Valotte, made a back-handed swing of his knife and caught another man named Moses Edward Smith, cutting him down the right side of the face from the temple to the neck, just missing the temple artery and the ear.
