The Dart here gave up. In the second beal up to Channel Rocks Erica passed Active and nearly caught Phoebe, and Meteor went away from Ladybird. The wind was falling lighter and the leading boats had the best of the breeze, In fact Sybil, Payne, and Chanticleer were scarcely able to stem the tide. In the ran down to Kowloon Rook Phoebe lost second place to Erica, but Maid Marian still was a long way ahead of the two. Active was here a very good fourth, leading Meteor by about 5 minutes. The wind fell away very fast and the Maid ran away from the next boats, the line being
crossed as follows at the finish :----

CUPS, 27TH NOVEMBER.
The second race for the two cups presented by the Hon. F. H. May, the commodore of the club, was sailed on Saturday afternoon in a north wind of variable strength and turned out to be the final race, the Eric and Ladybird
winning both races, each in her own class.
The course was from the starting line, round the Channel Rocks, Kowloon No. 1 Dock buoy, and the west buoy off Meyer's oil works, round each mark twice, leaving all to port, and back across the starting line. 10 miles.

A few minutes before the starting time there was a nice north-east wind, which died away just before gun fire and several boats got left, Active not being able to cross the line for 43 minutes, Chanticleer for 10 minutes, and Payne for 15 minutes after the others. Maid Marian and Meteor were recalled, but the former did not return far enough and was thus disqualified from the start. Erica went through the fleet and in ten minutes had a lead of about half a mile of everything but Maid Marian which was about 200 yards behind her.

The Chairman said-Gentlemen, it is only s0 recently that I occupied your attention at some length as regards the Cotton Mill, when we met at the extraordinary meeting, that I think I may limit my remarks on this occasion. The report and accounts have been in your hands for some days, and
you will that they bear ont the remarks I made as to the future working of the Mill, when I had the honour of addressing you at the previous meet- ing. I may. therefore, take the items in the balance-sheet seriatim. Yon will see under assets: property, Tls. 137,506.63. This is re- presented by the cost of the land, bunding, etc. Then buildings, Tls. 259,857.02; this is the cost of the buildings. It is somewhat over the estimate, I admit; but at the same time if any- one cares to take the trouble to look over them
I think he will agree with me that we have got full value for our money. Plant, Tls. 601,626.23, is the cost of plant and machinery. The remarks I have just made will fully apply to the plant and machinery. Water supply, Tls. 15.741.94, is for the reservoir, Waterworks Company's charges, etc. Then there is millstores. Tls. 1,816.40; this is for the necessary oil, packing, and smaller things for keeping the machinery and plant in order Coal, Tis. 3.865.50; this, I think, needs no explanation. Furniture, Tls. 3,865.50; this is for the furniture in the office, and the bed-room and sitting room of the three Europeau employes at the mill. Cotton, yarn, and waste in stock, Tls. 128, 603.97; this relates to cotton in the godown at the date of the clos- ing of the report. Cotton and yarn in process, Tls. 27,435,22; this represents the cotton on the dobbins on the 31st October. Yarn in stock, Tls. 104.691.64; this is practically all sold, but not delivered on account of some stringency in the money market, I believe. Unexpired fire insurance premia, Tls. 5.927.9', and rates and taxes, Tls. 602.42, need no explanation. Pre- liminary expenses, Tis. 3,957.78; these are such as are incurred by every Company, and I think Intermediate Level. She west crosscut at are not excessive. These we propose to wipe this level having reached the course of the reef out, as they do not represent any valuable asset. without shewing anything of value, work here We have Tls, 6,553.27 in Hongkong and Shang- has been discontinued.

This leaves about 18 ft. to reach the point where the North Shaft should come down. I am hoping to see these two points connected during the coming month. A cross cut has also been driven west to prove if the western chute of ore is still continuing to the This cross cut has just reached the foot wall of the reef after passing through about 2 ft. of highly mineralized ore which, although of very low grade, is in my opinion worthy of being further prospected. I intend to drive North on the ore referred to to see if any other chute of payable ground can be found. The stopes over this level are almost exhausted and will be quite so within the next fortnight.

Ladybird was leading in the second class with Dart and She in close attendance.

The Active was doing very well, having made
