The number of horses po by the company on 31st
December was 6,630, or 239 in 11201.1 of the stout at the
close of the- previous mar. During the time of the Exhi-
bition traffic, the ammo, employed about 600 homes mote
than were required for this ordinary bulimia el Me com-
pany ; it was obvious that at this close el the Esisibitioo,
and ea the reduction of the trait to its ordinary amdition,
them would neoessarity be a large surplus stook ; the
direstors therefore iimonsinatid purchasing horses in August,
and gradually yedused the evening omnibus services as the
Wes of dosing the thhibitios was made earlier ; hat there
sell remained a large number of horses beyond the ordinary
requirements of the coinpaliy whoa the Exhibition finally
closed and the special omnibuses ceased to run. The directors
toned that they maid not sell the samba dock except at •
vosy great sacrifice ; they therefore abated • number of
the young horses which most required recruiting after the
hard work of the season, and sent them to farms in Kent,
Essex, and Hers, for the winter, reserving the older
home ter the immediate requiremesta of the servos ; by
this means all stock was turned to good account, sad pur-
chases were entirely suspended for more them out months.
The stock is in excellent -health and condition. The revenue
account shows that the vest at maintenance of horse stook
amounted to 38,8061. Ba, whereas in 1861 the cost was
39,7601.165. 2d. The omnibuses of the company are main-
tuned in efficient working condition. The twenty large
omnibuses purchased of Moms. Greenwood sad 00., of
Manchester, were employed in working the Exhibitiontraffic
until 2nd November, acid they have since that time been
put to work on other Mee where the increase of traffic
rendered additional moommodation necessary. Notwith.
stending the actual increase in the mine of the stook re-
sulting from this purchase, the directors have
deemed it unadvisable to hareem the charge
cm the capital by any portion of the outlay ; and
the vales *lamb in the balance-sheet is set down at about
the isms sum as at the close of the previous year. The
gross receipts of the company from all looms dunes 1969
were 683,15531. Is. 9J. ; in 1861 they were 697,0131. Lk 6d.
The gram expenditure of the commay in 1862 was 609,0601.

net profit for that year of 72,5024 17s. Bd. The ander-
pound lisle has neoemarily become• • competitor with the
omnibuses for • ensaiderable share of the traffic. The
directors have treated with the directors of the rail way
company, and arranged with them for such services in cos-
with the railway trains as will in put oncapensite
for the decrease of traffio in other respect/. As before
stated, the sum produced by the revenue amount sad the
cash remaining in hand at the close of the year 1861 have
bees applied to the payment of the dividend for the year
1861, • large portion of the debta of the company, sad ether
urgent claims, and to the effectual constitution of the re-
serve fund. After providing for these necessities of the
undertaking, the ash
mailable for distribution at the close
et the you was 22,7841.16/ 7d., as shown in the balance-
sheet. The directors propose, therefore, to declare a divi-
dend of Is. per share, free of income tax. This dividend
will sake/12,278f. Hs., leaving NM Os. 78.. to be earned to
the general reserve fund, out of which the income ten will

undertaking will be eietinsty free from any drawback on
account of dividends declaz in respect of previous year
