The Secretary having read the notice con- vening the meeting,
The Chairman said :-Gentlemen,-The re- port and statement of accounts having been in your hands for some time, I will with you `per- mission, following our usual custom, take them as read. The net profits for the half year ended 31st. December, 1934, amounted to $370,15903, to which must be added the sum of $505,471.73, the amount Lrarght forward from our last account and, after deducting directors" and auditors' fees, there remains for appropria- tion the sum of 1854,880,76, as compared with $954,037.67 for the previous hall year, and $817,94304 for the corresponding period in 1993. Subject to your concurrence, the board propose to deal with this balance as follows:- To pay a dividend for the half year of 12% and a bonus. of 1% to shareholders, absorbing $350,00, to write off from the value of the Kowloon Docks the sum of $16,591.66, and to
carry forward to new account the balance $198,789.10. We trust that this distribution, which we think recommends itself in every respect, will meet with your approval. From the statement of accounts you will observe that the value of material in hand is about the same as at this time last year, the increase of some $210,000 to which I drew your attention at our fast meeting having been absorbed in the coin- piction of the steamers for the Yangtsze kivet and Philippine Government then in course of construction. The dredger, Canton Arver, having been for the greater part of the period under review usefully employed in the work of dredging the foreshore frontage at the Kowlons Dock, thus enabling vessels of deep draught and great length to lie alongside our wharf when under repair, has not been able to seek outside employment, and her earnings are consequently slight. The decision men- tioned at our lass meeting to replace the Fame by a smaller vessel with modern machinery to work with the Rebert Cooke is being carried out and it, when com pleted, will be found very useful. The returns of tonnage of ships docked or repaired during the past half year, as compared with the pre- vious six months, shows, as was foreshadowed in the last report, a considerable falling off totalling a decrease of 58,513 tous, and I fear I cannot hold qut much hope of improvement in this respect, so long as the present war be- Jiween Russia and japan continues. The wiring and moters for a farther extension of the electric drive are now deliverable. The p wor

The topic of conversation throughout the town has been the all-absorbing one for the week-the Races.

Fear was accordingly apprehended, and to dis pel any doubts that may lurk in the minds of those who had favoured John Peel's for the classic events of the meeting commencing to- morrow, a representative of this paper called upon the Hon. Mr. W. J. Gresson, the head of the firm of Messra, Jardine, Matheson & Co. in Hongkong, and was informed that the ponies would run, but under other colours,

Cotswold, the Derby favourite, was ont trot. ting this morning, and did not look a bit off- colour as he is rumoured to be. Indeed, as
noted by those who have had him constantly under observation throughout the training season, the animal seemed in fine fettle and Bever appeared in more splendid form. Mr. G. H. Potts's Norman King, another favourite, will give him a lot of trouble if Cotswold suc-
ceeds in wresting the honours from him. Between the two favourites there is not much to choose and both stand even chances for the

While almost every stable possesses one or two good ponies, riders are very scarce, the usual number of jockeys 'from the North on whom Hongkong so largely depended for the success of its racely meetings in past years not having favoured us with their visit this season. This is a sore disappointment and a matter for general regret. For the Burkills, the Wuillemiers, and the Macleans are not creations of a single month or a year in the sporting world.
Handicapped as we are, there is no doubi that the sporting instinct of our enthusiastic community will permit of nothing to damp its ardoor during the three days when Hongkong and his wife are given wholly to jollity and sport within the charmed environment of that beauty spot in our island-Happy Valley.
