November 11, 1896.]
WATKINS proposed the re-election of Mr. Gaskell as anditor..
RIVERS seconded. Mr. MAITLAND-I do not think myself that Mr. Gaskell should be re-elected. Several things have occurred in the auditing of the accounts which I think myself should have been noticed. I notice in one item, the liabilities, the sterling liabilities are put at a high rate of exchange, and that is a thing he should certainly have noticed, besides which the stock was over-estimated, and there were deficiencies in the accounts receivable. I think he should have noticed these, and for my own part I certainly shall vote against him.
The CHAIRMAN-Have you any other gentle- mán to propose, Mr. Maitland ?
Mr. MAITLAND-Well, I propose Mr. W. H. Potts, but I do not know if he would accept it. I propose him as auditor.
Four voted for Mr. Potts and one against, and Mr. Potts was declared to be elected.
This concluded the public business and a private meeting of shareholders was then held.

THE INTERPORT RIFLE MATCH.
HONGKONG LEADS.
7th November The Hongkong team in the Inter-Port Rifle Match fired off yesterday and made a score of 916, which is 16 points better than Shanghai, who fired on the 28th October and made a score of 900. Singapore has still to be heard from. The weather yesterday was unfavour. able, but it was decided to go on with the event, as it was feared to-day, the last day available, might be worse, as if there is no rain it will probably be steamy, which is bad for shooting. There was a drizzling rain during the greater part of the afternoon and especially at 600 yards the wind was gusty and the light bad. Under these circumstances the score made was a very satisfactory one.
The team was captained by Mr. A. Chapman, and Mr. W. K. Wylie acted as umpire for Shanghai, Captain Sterling for Singapore, and Mr. W. Quincey for Hongkong.

The Chief Justice has been busily engaged this week in hearing some important cases in the Supreme Court. At the Police Court, too, business has been unusually brisk, and the Magistrate has also been engaged on an inquest arising out of the death of a pupil at the Diocesan School and Orphanage, who is alleged to have died from injuries inflicted by a master at the school. The Rifle Brigade have this week produced a burlesque entitled "Fra Diavolo," which was written by one of the officers, and the general verdict was that the production was one of the best ever witnessed in Hongkong. On Thursday the Sanitary Board held its fortnightly meet- ing. On Saturday the fifth annual meeting of the shareholders in Messrs. Dakin, Cruick- shank & Co. was held. Delightful weather has now set in.
There were 2,363 visitors to the City Hall Museum last week, of whom 228 were Euro-
peans.
The master of the steam launch Kwong On was on the 6th November fined $200, with the alternative of three months' imprisonment, for going alongside the steamer Cheang Hock Kian whilst the latter was in quarantine.
The two men who were charged with robbing a safe in the office of the British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association were again brought up at the Police Court on the 4th November... No further evidence was offered and the men were discharged.
An inquest was held on the 4th November on the burglar who jumped from the roof of a house in Winglok Street the other day while being chased. The verdict was "Death from a fractured skull caused by a fall from the roof of a house while escaping from apprehension."
His Excellency the Governor, Sir William on Saturday night. He arrived at Pedder's Robinson, returned to the colony from Shanghai
Wharf about 9.40 and as there was no one to meet him, not even a coolie, he had to carry his own handbag. Mr. Whitehead should ask a question about this.
Captain Pearne,. late of the Gaelic, died at the Peak Hospital on the 4th November It appears that Captain Pearne had been suffering from some latent trouble of the liver, which the anxiety thrown upon him in connection w the recent accident to his ship is supposed to have brought to an accute stage, termin fatally. Captain Pearne was highly respect and his death will be regretted by a wide circle of friends.
