On the Island satisfactory progress was made on the two large docks under construction by the Admiralty and by Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE, The 3' 6" electric Tramway from Kennedy Town through Victoria to Shau-ki-wan village (94 miles of route) was opened to traffic and in spite of fares that are high for China is largely used by Chinese of all classes.
Generally the year was a healthy one marked by steady development but not characterized by any event of great importance.
The Government was administered by Mr. F. H. MAY, C.M.G., from the com- mencement of the year until my arrival on the 29th July.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
M.. NATHAN,
Governor.
