COMPLIMENTARY DINNER 20

CAPT. McCALLUM,

The members of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps gar" a farewell dinner at headquarters on Saturday evening to Captain J. McCallum, who leaves for home by next English mail on a brief holiday. Lieut. Col. Terrat, D.AA.G. (Acting Commandant of the Volunteers) occupied the chair, and there was a large attendance of Volunteers and their friends. The hall was appropriately decorated, and an excellent dinner was rendered the more enjoyable by the efforts of the Band of the Shiophire Regiment, under Mr. Murphy's able direction, A well-executed sketch of a 100-ton gus, with a 7-pounder mounted on the platform below it, attracted considerable attention.

After a most enjoyable dinner, enlivened by first-class thunderstorm and a little accident with the punkab, the Chairman proceeded to eper the toast-list by proposing."The Queen," which was daly honoured."

The Chairman then proposed the health of Captain McCallum, to whɛta well-known enargy the Volunteers of Hongkong owe so much. The company, rising, drank to the rest of the evening, with three hearty cheers, and three more for Mrs. McCallum,

Captain McCallum, in tesponding, briedy reviewed the history of Volunteering in this Colony, protesting that bis own share in the work would have been of little use bat for the valuable efforts of several other gentlemen, some of whom were posilst come for the Corps, e good time coming for the Corps, and be sincerely trusted to find it on his return from home double its present strength and more flourishing than ever. (Load cheers.)

mr. Cheeseman asked how the reserve find was invested.

Dr. Drysdale wished to know whether the deposits were for a certain fixed period. This was a very important point in the present stare of banking affales.

The Chairman: At the last general meeting I mentioned that we had retained £50,000 contingent fund, and about that time, I daresary you may remember, there was a sudden collapse In exchange, which dropped something like ad. In the rupee. Losses were, as we anticipated, sustained by our customers. so that the money set aside had to be availed of for the purpose of making up our accounts now. The reserve fand is employed in our general business. Out boldings of Government securities are always larger than the amount of the reserve fond, but they are liable to be used in our business from time to time. The period of deposits is generally for one year, though there may be one or two which extend over a longer
