NEWPORT DOCK.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Thursday at the
offices, Newport, Mr Homfray in the chair.
The report stated that there bad been an increase in re-
ceipts amounting to £1,373, as compared with the corre-
sponding half year, In anticipation of a large increase in
the coal shipments additional engine power had been pro-
vided at the coal etaiths. The capital account showed that
£331,120 had been received, and £339,916 expended, leaving
a balance against the company of £3,790.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the shareholders on the improved position of
the undertaking.
Mr CARTWRIGHT seconded the motion, and showed that
the undertaking had not been a profitable one for the pro-
prietary. He deprecated the idea which prevailed in some
quarters of constructing new docks, and maintained that
the existing docks would meet the requirements of the
port for years to come.
Mr BATCHELOR remarked that the Monmouthshire direc-
tors seemed to be of a different opinion, as they had agreed
to subscribe to the new docks.
The report was then adopted, and a dividend of £3 per
share was declared on the 14 preference shares, being the
whole amount of dividend due to the 30th of June last, and
the balance amounting to £539 was carried forward to the
next account.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BROMLEY FLAT RACES AND SPEEPLE-
CHASE S--FRIDA.Y.

The second day of the meeting was not as well favoured
by the weather as the opening day, the dense fog which en-
veloped the metropolis during the morning no doubt deter-
ring many intending visitors from being present; but alto.
gether the meeting was a success, and the strength of some
of the fields (more particularly yesterday) was rather sur-
prising, considering that it is entirely a new fixture. The
Bickley Stakes was won by Lady Warwick ; the favourite
got badly off, never being prominent. The Kent Steeple-
chase resulted in favour of Ballycasey, the favourite, by 10
lengths. The Don won both the succeeding steeplechases.
The favourite, Telscombe, when running well in the
Steeplechase Plato, fell and threw Johnny Land so heavily
that it was at first thought he must be seriously injured—

were in a line. Going round the turn Fitz Ruyter took
the command, but was soon deprived of it by Miss Arthur,
and the lot ran in a cluster. Passing the Stand the second
