The Chairman said:-Gentlemen, when we lail met on the rath August I informed you that, relations had been entered into between your Directors and Mess, Jardine, Matheson & Co. for the disposal of the Company's business, and the meeting was adjourned to allow of further time for the consideration of the terms proposed for the reconstruction of

the company. I will lay these before you and I hope you will approve of them. The pinciple on which the transfer is, arranged Is that the shareholders In this company should become abarebolders in the new company, and that in exchange for each share en which $55 his been paid they should receive one in a new company for $20 of which $15 should be can. sidered paid up, leaving a liability of 85 per share. Holders of fally paid up shares of $100 each to receive at the rate of 1 and 3-jed of a fully paid-up shree of $30, this being the pro- portion to which they are entitled, "The new company will consist of 10,000 shares of $20 each, of which as regards' 1,343 shares, $20 will be considered fully paid up, these being dis tributed among holders of fully paid shares of the old company as already mentioned; 5.545 R1 $15 of which $15 will be considered to have been paid up, leaving a liability of $5 a share to: be called up at a future perfod: 3 113 of $20 cach, which will be issued hereafter by the new company. I will now read the draft agreement that is proposed to be adopted by the two companies which ially explains the nature of the scheme.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1891.

Hongkong, gth September, 1891. T. F. Hough, Esq. Clark of the Course, Hong-

kong Jockey Club.

Sir, have to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 5th inst., euclesing a list of members of the Jockey Club, conected to date, requested by me in my letter of that date.

You inform me, by direction of the Stewards, that the Stewards decline to furnish me with the report of the proceedings at the meeting of the Club held on the 27th January last and in reply to my explanation that I required this report for the purposes of the Inquiry to be made at the extraordinary meeting of members convened for the 11th inst., you add "The Stewards do not know of any inquiry that can be held at that meeting for which that report would be of any value.""

I have the honor to inform the Stewards that there are a great many other things which they don't know and which it would be well for the interests of the Hongkong Jockey Club if they did know. On one or two points I will enlighten thems cow, and should occasion require it at Friday's meeting. I shall not fall to give them the benefit of my experience both as regards the ethics of racing and the courtesy due from the elected committee of a race club to even the humblest member of that club.

Your lever now under acknowledgment contains the following passage:—

"They beg formally to give you notice that at the Meeting on Friday next they will not allow of any discussion as to the propriety of " Rule 40, or as to the manner in which it was proposed, and passé. It has been passed and confirmed and is one of the Rules of the Club, and they have simply to apply it."

I have carefully looked through the Rules and Regulations of the Club, and have falled to find anything Investing the Stewards with any authority whatever to decide the limits of discussion at any meeting, so long as that discussion is confined to the object for which such merilog bag beca convened. Now, thin extraordinary meeting has been convened-vide the circular issned by the Stewards-

"To deside whether or not Mr. Rabert Fraser-Smith

shall be expelled from the Club under Rule 40" It is not my intention to question the propriety of the so-called Rule 40; but I certainly intend to argue that the sald Rule bas never beery legally passed and consequently is not a valid rule of the Club. The grounds on which I shall make this objection was fully explained by me to the Stewards at the informal meeting held in the Hongkong Hotel on Jose 6th, and you will find a reference to the same subject in my letter to the Hon. P. Ryrie, dated Port Darwin, 26th June. It was for the purpose of proving this informality that I courteously requested, what I had a right to demand, that I should be supplied with a transcript of the short-band writer's report of the proceedings at the meeting of January 2yib, and I shall hold the Stewards responsible for their unwarranted refutal of evidence which may be of vital importance to me in my defence.

If the Stewards intend insisting on their alleged right to apply against me a rule the legality of which is contested, and without per- mitting the question to be discussed at a special meeting called for that purpose, the sooner the matters at line are removed to the law courts of the colony, the better will It be for the To the Editor av ter “ Hongkong TELEGRAPH," dignity and impartiality of the Stewards. SIR,I see from recent papers that the am obliged to you for informing me that flackburn Chamber of Commerce has petlany discussion as to the applicability of Rule tioned the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs 40 to me orto my conduct and to the proceedings in reference to treaty rights and transit passes of the Stewards thereunder is open to me and Would it not be well for the various Chambers doubtless I shall not fall to avall myself of my absoluta rights as an original member of the From the beginning of this year, thanks to a Club, well-known pioneer, some kerosene oll and colton yarn have been sent up, but the business is very much hampered through the Imperial Maritime Customs not having transit pass forms This is hardly to be credited, but it is sa nevertheless. The forms are issued by the Chinese Superintendent of Customs who has hir own ends to serve delaying matters, and the foreign" Customs here do nothing but end in weak reminders occasionally. The consequence is that about zo boats are in the river, some having been delayed for over a week, with full cargoes of all, lecurring heavy expense and all because a pubilo office has not the peccarary forms! I'venture to think that only In Chine could such a state of things exist.

Perhaps this may interest the Blackburn Chamber, and I understand that the matter is to be brought to the notice of the Foreign Office through a member of Parliament, so it is to be hoped that the present deadlock will not, long exist.

The news you have published from Peking is becoming all the talk. It seems to be universally felt that the time has come for a determined stand.

The demand for the opening of Human to foreign enterprisa is a masterly stroke and gocs to the root of things. This ought to be insisted

26th August, 189r. In obedience to orders from the Trangli Yamen, the Hiens have been taking a censes of all the foreigners within their respective. districts. Ch'ung Mu, the Shang-yuen Bien, called in person yesterday at each mission house to make the acquaintance of the missionaries and verify the returns made to his office. It is very gratifying to know that he has retumed to his post, after a long absence. He went into retirement more than two years ago, for a period of mourning, I bellere. The vigilance of the authorities here is shown by the order forbidding the Titsan Festival this year. The great throngs which usually visit the famous shrine on T'sing-liang-shan during this moon, have not been permitted to assemble this year. The past week has therefore been much more diet than was anticipated, though the dally increasing number of students who have come up for the examinations, gives the street, an cousually lively appearance,

The shops destroyed by last Monday's fire are being rapidly rebufit. The real number of buildings destroyed was fifty, but the familles unhoused number many more. The loss, as estimated by the neighbours, varles all the way from two hundred thousand to eight million dollars.

This illustrates the unreliablity of Chinese estimates. As an extra stock of goods had been purchased for the examination season, it is possible that two hundred thousand dollars may be a very fair estimate. The fire originated in an opium den. It is unfortunate that the Chinese have no system of are insurance,

Upon farther inquiry here I have been told that the real cause of the quarrel with the Fantal was that be coveted the Taotal's most lacra- the perquisites of one five offices, from which the latter was therefore removed. This led to some very plain speaking on the part of the aggrieved mandarin in the presence of the Viceroy, who was so shocked by the breach of etiquette that he proceeded to deprive him of the rest of his offices-N.
