crushed if a little pressure be applied. This is 33 probably more due to poorness of manufacture than to poorness of material, as the bricks and tiles manufactured at The Green Island Cement Company's premises are of excellent quality, and were more attention paid by the Chinese to the mixing and baking of their bricks we should very soon have a great improvement both in the appearance and stability of our buildings. Hongkong mortar is also open to criticism. In fact it is not mortar at all, but merely mud with the smallest possible quantity of lime added to it. So little lime is included in much of the mortar used by the Hongkong builder that a heavy shower of rain falling before piece of work has been "pointed" will often wash out a great part of the so-called mortar, and so render the work comparatively value- less. The ordinary English bricklayer would laugh at the materials here kmployed both as mortar and plaster.

4-Russia will have control of the military affairs of Manchuria.

The secretary mad the notice calling the meeting.
The Chairman said:-Gentlemen. If you approve, will take the Report and Accounts as read. I shall not detain you half year's working and the present position with many remarks, as the result of the of the Company are so fully explained in the statements now laid before you that there is but little for one to comment upon. Your the earnings warrants the payment of a bonus Directors are, pleased that the improvement in of 2% in addition to the usual dividend of 8% for the half-year, and admits also of the sub antial increase of $50,000 to the Equalization of Dividend Fund. The suggestion that further sum of $70,000 be passed to this Fund from the Investment' Fluctuation Account will doubtless commend itself to Share- holders. Our investments have so largely increased in value and stand in our books at such favourable rates, that the sum of $161,753.68, which will remain after the pro- posed transfer has been made, is, in the opinion of the Board, an ample reserve to meet any possible fluctuation in the value of investments, while the desirability of building up the Equali zation of Dividend Fund as opportuinity offers, to casure, the payment of regular dividends, will doubiless ba apparent to all. With regard lighters and our temporary withdrawal from to the sale of the West River steamers and the direct line on the West River, I may say that this course was adopted only after very careful consideration, but your Directors hope that with the probably approaching A Mysterions Tragedy at Poking.settlement of affairs in the North, they may be resume the trade at an early date under more favourable auspices. The Nanning the first of the new joint account stern wheelers for the Canton and Wachow line, has now been running for some time and, am pleased to say, is a favourite boat with passengers Under the more favourable regulations which we con- fidently look for, there is but little doubt that these boats can be worked profitably. I may say that the current half-year has opened well, and as far as we can judge, there is every reason to expect that the improvement in our earnings will be maintained. With these few remarks, gentlemen, I would propose the adoption of the report and accounts as pre- sented, but before doing so I shall be pleased to answer any questions which shareholders. may wish to ask.

On Friday evening, so says the advertisement, a well known Chinese gentleman will enter the tiger's cage with the trainer.

We do not think that this bad, workmanship is due to want of skill on the part of the Chinese workman. He can do good work if he likes, but the tendency just at present is to rush every building up at lightning speed, and so workmanship is bound to suffer from the abnormal hurry. This is certainly false econ- omy. A building constructed of first-class been employed will have three times, the life of material and in which good workmanship has
