NOTES AND COMMENTS.' THE Directors of the Hongkong Hotel Company are taking a leaf from " Modern Business Methods" (if there is a book of that name) and are desirous of adding to the legitimate and direct attractions of their property as a Hotel the equally legitimate but Indirect attraction of a Billiard Handicap, In order to draw within their sphere people who, perchance, other wise would not cross their threshold. The fever of competition is now-a-days so great that in almost every business people are depending less upon the substantial merits of [929 what they have to offer to the public as upon the style in which they present their wares, and the incidental advantages they hold out to purchasers. Discounts on taking a quandty; a bonus for bringing customers; & cheap but desirabla thrown in; a chance in a lottery or a raffle; an opportunity of winning a prize in some competition; an Insurance Policy against death by accident; scholarships; such and many other are among the inducements held out to customers. We referred a few days ago to a new publication. The Hour, the proprie. ters of which return to each subscriber his subscription for the year in the shape of an Interest-bearing debenture and Harbour Master. present him in addition with an Accident Assurance Policy good for the sum of £2,000. We are ourselves about to make similar experiment. We have secured for all our European subscribers, who take the Telegraph by the quarter, an Assurance in the sum of $1,000 against any fatal accident, and we are about to open for the use of all our Subscribers, elther quarterly or monthly, a free library and reading- room well provided with books, papers, and writing materials, where we hope to LETTERY CUT AND FILLED WITH IMPERISHABLE welcome also all lovers of the game of choss. In a few days we hope to publish full particulars and a little later on we trust to have largely increased our Subscription List by the addition of many, who, seeing the paper at their Hongs, Reading-rooms and Clubs, have hitherto had no inducement held out to them to take in this paper on their own account.
