per cent. or more the General Managers would then be entitled to a further commission of ten per cent. on the net profit, which would make up a
sum of Tls. 58.900, supposing the mill to go on and pay a fair return for in- vestments. When I have given you these figures and told you that in at least two of the mills which have been floated since this mill was, in the one case the maximum, supposing everything to go as I have said, return to the General Managers would be Tls. 30,000 against Tls. 58,900; in the other case it would be Tls. 23,700 against Tls. 43,900; therefore, it appears to me that the General Managers in this case must recognise that while they were the first in the field and had perhaps nothing before them on which to estimate how much would be a reasonable share, the moment that they see that two-and I know three, but I have not got the figures of the other one, but I believe they are similar to the other two-when they see that the remuneration in all the three other cases is so much less than theirs is placed at, I earnestly hope that they will take into consideration the possibilities of so far reducing that buying and selling commis- sion as to bring it within the range of what is considered reasonable, and we think they will find themselves sufficiently remunerated on such net profits as the company may have been found to earn.

HONGKONG CRICKET CLUB.
THE CRICKET CLUB v. NAVAL AND
MILITARY NONDESCRIPTS. This match was played on Saturday on the Cricket ground, and after a fairly well- contested game resulted in a win for the Non- descripts by a majority of 56 on the first innings.
For the Cricket Club Ezekiel, Maitland, Hooper, and Close contributed exactly 100 between them, and in nearly equal proportions, leaving only 20 runs for the remaining seven batsmen. On the other side Elliott was the chief scorer, with a fairly hit 62 not out, which included ten 4's, his highest innings on the Hongkong ground, we believe. E. W. Maitland was the most successful bowler with 6 wickets for 63, five of them being clean bowled.

The CHAIRMAN said that as several share- holders had come into the room since he made his remarks on the point to which Mr. Campbell R. W Maitland, e Elliott, Frowd 25 Morcom, b Davies 18 had alluded, he would repeat what he had said, which he accordingly did.
Mr. CAMPBELL-As far as I am concerned I have nothing further to say. If you consi- der those remarks entitle us to expect that the General Agents are going to reconsider the question of commission, then the only object I had bringing the matter before other feeling you is attained. I have no but perfect confidence the management of Ewo generally, but I think if we can receive what you have said as an authoritative state- ment that the commissions will be considered very carefully before they are charged, and that we may hope that they will not interfere with the dividend, I am satistied.
The CHAIRMAN said this concluded the busi- ness and the meeting dissolved.-N. C. Daily News.
THE INTERPORT SHOOTING
MATCH,
The Hongkong team fired on Friday in the interport match and have to acknowledge defeat for the first time for some years. The weather was fine, but very dull, making shooting at the longer ranges somewhat uncertain.
Three
fine scores were made by Mr. McDonald, Lieut. Hoey, and Mr. McLennan. The first and last named have only practised with the Lee-Metford Rifle for about a week. The members of the team who made low scores were unfortunate in having to shoot in a very bad light.
The following are the scores in detail:-

most advantageous. In one of these move- ments Townend carried the ball past all opponents a matter of considerable dificulty with the strong defence and then put in the centre. Firth at once took a shot, but the ball bounded from goalkeeper Clarke and again went up the field. A good run by Townend seemed to render another serious attack on the Gunners imminent, but a half-back removed him from the ball, with a touch that was not altogether velvet. The Artillery were now working hard and at times they made rushes which required all the Club's efforts to with- stand. In one of these onslaughts Ezekiel kept them off brilliantly; having just received one forward on his chest, which left him somewhat breathless, he received another dangerous visitor on his back, which enabled Sharp to get the ball well away. The ubiquitous Oliver was a sore trial to the Gunners; as soon as a forward attempted to take a shot at goal Oliver was at him with usually great success. A good run by MacKay, Roweroft putting in some hard work, ended in his passing the ball over to Townend, who carried it to near the goal line; here an opponent appearing to use his hands in order to stop his progress, at once a free kick was claimed, and this claim attracted more attention from the Club than it should have done, for the Artillery, who were playing on the whistle, made a rush up and a forward standing by the side of the Club's backs rushed the ball past and took a shot. Another forward was standing between the shooter and Sharp and probably obscured the custodian's view, as the ball went into the net. For some time after this the contest waged to and fro, 4each end being in turn threatened. The Com- Elliott, Sanderson 2 pany's forwards playing well up the field gave the Club's backs as much work as they wanted and from start to finish they had but little lei- Some good passing by Duncan enabled the Gunners to get in very close. Unfortunately, however, three forwards got offside, so that al- NB. Wicket. though one of them shot the ball into the net, the point was valueless. After changing ends, it soon became evident that if one team was pressing it was the Club, who were doing their best to retrieve the lost point. Townend receiving the ball from Firth was at once tackled by Lewis, but rushing the ball past he succeeded in getting it to the goal fine. Briggs and Ryal seeing the danger had at once rushed back and impeded Townend when taking his kick, so that the shot went several yards from the post. This player made a still more brilliant attempt a few minutes afterwards and finally. placed in the centre. The ball was at once removed to the wing, but Campbell shot it back into Clarke's hands, and it then being sent away fell to Oliver, who restored it to a-good position in front of goal, where it was again sent away, but only to the feet of the trusty Donkin, who again placed the Club on the offensive. The Gunners finally getting the ball carried it down the field, but Sharp removed the missile with his usual skill, The Club's halves, Davies, Donkin, and Oliver, were determined to allow the Company no opportunity to shoot, and they displayed their tackling powers amidst much commendation, while Ezekiel and Maitland at back have never played better. Finally, Campbell was noticeable

We (Kobe Chronicle) hear that arrangementa for the sale of the German steamer Lübeck are practically completed, and that she will be handed over to her purchasers, who are Japanese, in the course of a few days. The Lübeck is splendidly fitted vessel, and it will be interesting to learn to what purpose her new owners intend to devote her.
