These figures fully warrant the most sangnino expectations of success, and it is but reasonable to expect that, strengthened with larger Capital, the present undertaking cannot fail to prove at least as successful as the fortner one. The Old Company, when it entered the field, had to urento n business for itself, but the New oue, in taking over the outstanding risks and cou- nections of the Old Company, will at

at once receive a very large amount of promium, enter on a profitable and organized business. Moreover, there is no doubt that the risk of Fire in flangkong has been grastly diminished by the Building Regula tions now in foros, and by the establishment of a Fire Brigade.

The following are the main features of the New Company

and

1. A first Cail of $100, to be paid upor sach share on allotment, and a further Call of $100 to be paid in Six Monthis; all further Calls to be determined upon at General Meetings of the shareholders. 2.
