Competition has bad fall swing with the result that premium. rates have in no way been in keeping with risks and the business das in many quarters become almost a matter of pure speculation, or as one underwriter expresses it "a gamble.".

of
Long before mid-day the stream of racegoers was speeding eastwards, though it did not attain dimensions comparing very favourably with jast year's funeral procession but at the Happy Valley the scene was a berutiful and brilliant contrast to As in the old days, there must have been at least the forlorn and dispirited assemblage of 1892 twenty thousand people at the race-course, as happy and bright as ever. Perhaps the revival this greatest carnival in the Far East was spirits and the renewed determination to enjoy due to the popular sumour that the anti-gambio mania might be ice rabid than last year; or, perhaps it was Mr. O'Brien's vausted recovery of commercial prosperity that brought back the old glamouri or, perhaps, the most graceful explans tion les in the fact that H.E, the Governor was going with Lady Robinson, to open the new Grand Stand,
Shortly after twelve o'clock, the Stewards hav.

The Governor thanked Mr. Chater and the Stewards for their Invitation, which Lady Robinson and himself had felt great pleasure in accepting. The Grand Stand was a splendid building, one of the finest of its kind he had ever seen, and well worthy of this bewailful Happy Valley. He heartily congratulated the Stewards and the Club on having such a fine pavilion."
His Excellency then, unlocked the gate at the herd of the steps, and entered, followed by most of the ladies and gentlemen present, to faspect the ballding and admire the decorations, which were simply gorgeous.
The Chairman said:~Gentlemen, the accounts having been in your bands since yesterday, with your permission wa will take them se having been read. With regard to the we:nstructed company,our business in the twelve months under review has been on the whole satisfactory, the works having been folly employed during that period, chiefly on the production of drain pipes, for which there is an increasing demand locally and from the out-ports, but from want of constist supervision our foremen basing been frequently laid up with fever) and the workmen being still somewhat deficient in training and experience, the output has fallen coosiderably short of what your Directors anticipated.
