the right of her horses, attended by Formosa, Weather
Isle, and Uncas; and on their left were seen the
colours of Grimaton, Forest King, and Lady Eliza-
beth, the latter being next the rails, close in
whose wake came the favourite, who appeared to
have got badly off. They ran thus to the entrance
of the cords, where they began to spread, and shortly after
Wells brought Blue Gown and followed the leader to the
distance, where Grirnston, with Lady Elizabeth at his
girth; drew away, and came on clear of their horses, and
finished a splendid race home, Fordham just getting up in

Douro cut out the work, followed by Gomera, Salpinctes,
and Pintail in the order named to the stand, when Captain
Day's colt headed the favourite and joined Douro, but when
fairly in the back stretch he dropped back and became the
absolute last. On reaching the mile post Gomera went to
the head of affairs and considerably improved the pace, but
when fairly in the bottom she was pulled back, and Pintail
was indulged with the lead, which she retained into the
straight, when she was beaten, and her place was at once
taken by Oomera next the rails, closely pressed by Douro,
the pair joining issue at the Stand, and finished an excel-
lent race home, the former winning cleverly by a neck; a
bad third.

Osprey was the first away, and notwithstanding he

Needle Gun was the first away, and made the running,
followed by Black Prince, the favourite, and Retribution,
Stockinger lying off to the mile post. Here the leader
dropped back, and the running was then taken up by
Steamboat, who, in company with Retribution and Black
Prince, carried it on into the straight, when Lord St.
Vincent's

in the distance, but failing to quite get up, was beaten
after a punts • hing finish, by

Some delay was occasioned by the vagaries of Cranbury
at the post, which, being likely to be continuous, Payne
dismounted and waited by the side of his fractious animal
like a dismounted dragoon, and vaulting into his saddle at
the moment the flag was lowered, he bounded away many
lengths in advance, and as he made the turn into the
straight was upwards of half a dozen lengths in advance of
Queen of Trumps, Commissioner, Nike,. and Xi, Ostreger,
who jumped round at the fall of the flag, being left at the
post. Payne, who came on without stirrups, kept the
old horse going, and won with ridiculous ease by half a
49a011 a Dad WV_ Queu of Trump wa. fourth,

ld. each, the chairman took 50 shares, and if the
proprietors would take the remainder there would
be no difficulty in the matter. the prospects of
the company would be much improved by the
completion of the line from Arboga to hoping.
The estimated cost was £17,777, of which the Go-
vernment had sabscribcd £8,838. The e.)mpany
were to work the line when completed, and a sink-
ing fund was to be established, by which the share
capital would be p Lid off in the course of 15
years,:together with 5 per cent. interest. The Go-
vßrnment_had made a Qtiv„l..t;„„ +1,„1- ;„
should hereafter purchase the line they were to b 3
allowed the £8,883 they had subscrib3.l towards its
construction. To do any good with those lines the
company must be able to show that they earned
their own living. He had no doubt that they would
be able to keep up the payment of the 2s. per obli-
gation, and add something to it. Oa the comple-

don of the new line they would have a mineral
traffic from the Uttersburg line over their own line
to Orebro, and so on to the State line, via Halsberg
and Askersund. The traffic from Nora would go
over the other portion of their line on to the Go-
vernment line. The proposed branch line from
Linde to Frovi would bring £3,000 a year traffic on
their line. The directors deeply regretted the death
of their highly-estimated colleague Mr. S. E. von
Hofsten, the late chairman of the Swedish Board,
who had rendered eminent services to the company.
He believed the line was now in a better position
than it ever was before, but it would never realise
the profits it was originally estimated to yield. He
hoped, after the obligation holders were satisfied,
that the preference shareholders would get. some-
thing.

Mr. F. L. AUSTEN seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report. He said the Government
had made 360 miles of State lines, and that there
was not the same inducement now that formerly
existed to purchase their line. He thought, how-
ever, that in about three or four years hence the
prospects of the company would much improve, and
that the bondholders and preference shareholders
would get dividends. The company had subscribed
£2,200 towards the Arboga and Doping line, of
which £l,lOO had been paid. The inhabitants in
the district and the Government had subscribed the
rest.

The report was unanimously adopted ; the pay-
ment on and after the Ist of July next at 2s. per
obligation on account of arrears of interest due
thereon was agreed to ; and a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors concluded the proceedings.
