THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1890.

feen, the working expenses to $24,170.31, the The HONGKONG CLUB CUP; presented, for profit on the year's working to $1,032.99.

The General Managers with however to state that next year the cost of ore rope will have to, be provided for out of the Working Account as the cost of two ropes is already included in the Permanent Way Account and of one rope in the Suspense Account. It therefore will be seen that, unless the receipts incresse Jargely, there is no prospect ofthe Company paying a dividend for some time to come, especially as the Sus pense Account will have to be gradually written off out of earnings.

The General Managers' and the Committee have carefully considered" the question of the. less through the landslip in May 1889, and having regard to the position of the Company and to the uncertainty of law, they cannot recommend that a suit be proceeded with, although they are advised that they hare a good CLEC.

The General Managers earnestly hope, that as it is evident the running of the Tramway is only benefitting the Peak Residents and the Pablic, the Government will do its best to assist the Company.

1st By remitting taxation which is extremely high.

"

and By making a new road from Plantation Road in Magazine Gap which would increase the traffic and benefit the residents there.

3rd By an alteration in the system of trials. We believe the Hoard of Trade in England does not require such tests for similer Tram- ways as the Government kære insists upon, which tests come interruption in the traffic and strains the permanent way.

It is obvious that the mesont faresure high, and although it is impossible to make an immediate reduction, it is hoped that new roada and the opening of the two hotels on the hill will enable the Company to make a reduction..

CONSULTING COMMITTEE.

On the resignation of Mr. B. Layton, Mr. C. Ewens was invited to join the Committee.

In accordance with Rule 15 of the Company's Articles of Association, the present members, the Honourable P. Ryrie, and Messrs. J. Anderann and C. Ewens, retire, but being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

AUDITOR

The Accounts have been audited by Mr. R. Lyall, who also offers himself for re-election.
