A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

A happy note, in times of industrial depression, was struck at the 42nd annual meeting of the Hong Kong Land Investment Company during the week. It was stated that profits showed a $16,000 increase, and that the Gloucester House, the company's big local undertaking, was expected to be finished ahead of scheduled time. A resolution to grant increased Directors' fees for the ensuing year was suggest- ed. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reports the meeting in full.

The educational work of the Colony was under review during the course of several school prize givings. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains the texi of a stirring address by the head master of Queen's College, and also gives full accounts of the prize distribution ceremonies in the Diocesan Girls' School, St. Paul's College, the Ellis Kadoorie School, and Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians,

The dispute between the Sze Yap Shipping Company and certain of its Directors reached its closing stage, counsel for plaintiffs advancing some abstruse legal argument as to the rights of requisitioners at company meetings. The ÖVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives all relevant detall.

Local sporting circles are particularly busy just now. The Hong Kong Cricket Club Tennis Tournament has already seen some surprises, and special features of the play are exclusively described for the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. The coming Interport, prospects are also discussed, and ́a special account of the recent Ewin-Crichton middleweight title fight is included.
