From certain Company reports which I have read recently, some at all events of the Hong Kong.com- panies, for instance the Hong Kong Electric Company and the Hong Kong Telephone Company, have had a good year, and among. the institutions which appear to maintain a steady success should be counted the Institution of Eng- incers and Shipbuilders,(Hear Hear)-where I see that even in these hard times the bar receipts remain thoroughly satisfactory.—

Never was your White Horse as good or as old as it is to-day. Years ago, exceptionally heavy stocks of the finest whiskies were laid down to anticipate sales which the quality would justify. These stocks are now fully matured." "The result is that WHITE HORSE is now older and better than ever before, excellent as it was in 1932 and preceding years.
This advance in quality and age will be maintained. White Horse is now the equivalent of a fine liqueur.

There are notable road deyelop ments, in Kowloon in the exten- sion of Chatham Road, and also on the island in the new Shauki- wan Rond. A stranger visiting this Colony would be very much struck by the excavation levelling work involved in con- nexion with these roads, but the local engineer and contractor ap- pear to regard it as child's play.. A representative of a foreign na tion remarked to me a few days ago that it had been said that the. Romans had done marvellous road and building work, but he thought that Hongkong had beaten them.
