She had a grand recep: tion, and upon each occasion of her finishing a song the loud applause testified how greatly her talent was appreciated.
Could a small Company be in a more enviable position? Paying 12%, building up a solid reserve fund, and severely writing down all appliances and boats and yet, in face of these, figures, putting up fares 50 per cent.

Correspondence for local delivery on those days may be posted up to 9 a.m. The Night Box will be left open during the time the office is closed. The Money Order office will be entirely closed on both days.
This being the case it is very disappointing
to find that the proposed scheme is likely to be delayed in execution through the Secre tary of State for the Colonies asking for a further report from Mr. Chatham. This will, we presume, take some time to prepare, will occupy at least a month in reaching London, will then have to be carefully con sidered and, by the time that the scheme is sanctioned, much very valuable time, which might have been profitably employed, will have been wasted.

THE HONGKONG-DISPENSARY:
AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL METING of the China and Manila Steam ship Co., Ltd., will be held on the 14th January when the resolutions proposed at to-day's meet ing ill be submitted for confirmation.
THE STAR FERRY SQUEEZE.
When the decision of the above Co. to raise
the first class fares between Hongkong and Kowloon from to cents to 15 cents was an nounced, a burst of indignation was heard on all sides and, on going carefully into the matter, the necessity for such an advance be- comes less apparent. On three grounds the rise would be justifiable, firstly, a substantial increase in the price of coal, secondly; a succession of serious accidents necessitating a large outlay; and, thirdly, the number of pas- sengers carried not being sufficient to make adequate return on the capital invested..
Enquiry brings to light the facts that, there has not been an appreciable rise in coal, but
rather the reverse, as Cardiff has declined materially in price; there has been no unusual expense incurred through accidents; and, lastly, the balance sheet of the Company discloses an increase of passengers enabling them to pay 12 per cent dividend to the shareholders and build up at the same time out of bona fide
revenue, a solid reserve fund.
There may be another reason for the iniquit. ous advance in rates and that is, by taking a bare- faced advantage of their monopoly and in return for the support given them by the public and the help extended to them by the Govero- ment, squeeze their patrons and make an im- moral use of the exclusive rights granted them by the authorities.
One grain of comfort left to the public is the fact that already an opposition line is in process of formation, not on so extensive a scale as the present grab-all Company and not worked on Tammany Hall lines but, by the combination of the regular travellers, aided by every man or woman who likes common fairness and justice, and assisted by local capitalists, will in a short time make the parent Company wish they had not killed the goose that laid the golden egg
