At noon to-day tho half-yearly gonoral meeting of the above Company waa held at ths office in Fortstroot. Thoro was about a down shareholders present, and Mr CUrk occupied.tho chair in tho absence ofMrPeacock, Chairman of Directors. Tho ieport ; and balance-shoot were submitted as under:—

And secondly, that tho itook of logs and sawn timber on hand has been carefully taken, and Is certainly under, rather than over-valued, whilit tho stock is well assorted and marketable. Tho attention of ltxs dlractors has teen specially jivon to these potato tattae of lnilnuationa which have men.thrown out, and. they are glad to Bb. ame to tender tbli nssuranca to sharo (wl^ors. Tho not profits shown would warrint p«yment of a dividoDd of at least M per cent., moro especially as the Com pany's reserve ot accumulated proflisis large, bat as the directors wish to pay off tho whole of the loan in two years, which they hope to do without any strain on the Company's finances, cont.

By balance, £15,956 11s Bd. The Chairman, in laying these before the Meeting, referred to the position of the Company. lb was a pleasant duty to do so when the balance sheet waa such a favour able one as on this occasion. True, the Company had still heavy liabilities, but ho #aa sanguine that within the noxt two years the whole sum, amounting to £8,000, would be toped off. In tbo meantime, the largo Bums beingplacedtodeprociation and reserve accounts were greatly relieving the financial condition of the Company, He hoped the Meeting would, by approving of the report and balance-sheet, continue their approval of the policy of tho directors. The weak element in the timber trado was that of fire, out the officers of the Company had taken 6vory precaution against loss from that pause, while the premises wore kept rally insured. A great deal of tho success of _ tho Company and its favour able position at the present time wap we to Mr Monk, who had beon most assiduous aa managing diroctor, and had Ointributod largely to the result nowßhown of a handsome return to shareholders. Though that gentleman had accepted an appointment from the Union Sash and Door Uompany, he was glad to say that he would still be able to give hia services to tola Company. In conclusion tho Chair aro moved the adoption of tho report and bilance-sheet.

MrEwijo eoconded tho motion, and in ™ course of a brief conversation that ensued, Mr Mopk eald that thero wna a Rood supply of logs down at the mill, and ovory- Ihljas was in good working order. The motion was unanimously adopted. H was annonncod that the transfer bookß °f tho Company had been closed sinco '"day last, and tho dividend recommended »y the report would be payable at the office °n or after Saturday first. Votes of thanks were accorded to tho Uiairman and directors, and aleo to tho OlMers and employe's of the Company. « returning thanks for the latter, Mr mohk said that he considered the good wance-aheet before this meeting was in n, peat measure due to the loyal helpfullness in Ti? emP loy^- There were few businesses "> we polony which ware surrounded with »ore difhoulties than the timber trade, and taese could only be successfully coped with »nen the workmen were endowed with a sentiment which prompted them to oxor "ins greater than those which flowed from jnemere sense of duty.

THE ANGELICAS MISSION.

Another most successful service was hold last evening at 8 o'clock, in St. Matthew's church, when the Rev. Mr Mason delivered nu addrosa from the 55th chapter of Isiah. The morning services today woro of tlio same character as yesterday, and werj taken as follows:- First celebration, Mr Bodington ; second by the incumbent, ns si?ted by Mr J. K. Davlea. Tlie litter gentleman also took inntina. At 12.15 o'clock Mr Mason resumed his addrosses.to men. That of to-day being mostly concorried with the consideration of the humanity of Christ as oxompliliod in sacred history, and it 3 consequences to man. Ho eaid that in oarly days unbelievers attacked this attri bute of Christ beca .iso they no more dreamed of impugning His reality, the facts of Hia life, His words or His miraclos, tnan men 6)day wo.ild presumo to deny thoexisfcaco of Wellingten or tho fact of Waterloo, for no longer time had elapsed. What they did disputo was, that a porson so wonderful, speaking such words, and working such pro gross, could have anything of earth about him, and so they denied his humanity, ovon in St, John'e daya, who accordingly supplemented tho other New Testament Scripturo with his own In order to combat this now onomyof Christ. "Who is anti christ," said ho, "but thoy that deny Jesus." "Christ is manifost in tho flesh," "Tho word mado ilosh," is Hie opening of his gospel, whilst his first opistlo commences with tho "doclara tion, "That which was from the beginning, that, which wo behold, and our hands handled .... declaro we unto you." This humanity, ho proved, had^boen rotained after Christ's resurrection. AVhat wero His words, "Sco my handa and my foot -a spirit hath not flesh and bonos as yo soo mo have}" What had thia humanity to do for man? Tho world was tho production of design, as everything of tho material woill was plnnnod before creation, so was tho ideal man, and this man had been Josug Christ, and on him was all humanity modelled, " Lot us make man in our own imago." Perfection was only attainable by gradual growth which might be infinitely shown " (!od is eternal, so he can atford ({j wait." As Jesus was porfect so must thoy bo, but tho growth would nocoesarily \>o gradual. Tho missionera then . went on to show how these considerations would holp them to tako a right view of what h»d been tho great'dillieulties to many —Christ's birth and asconaion. Here was a viow of tho incarnation. Man's body was mado of tho dust, but God breathed in his soul. In this humanity there was something of oarth ano heaven. So with tde ideal, must there be something of oach " man lof the substance of his mother, born in tho world," but his conception had been by tho operations of tho Holy Ghost. Aa to tho asconsion, tho first man was croatod with a capacity to live or dio, his was the choico which it Bhould bo, and co Jesus might haY3 ascended in tho transfiguration, but ho choso rather to dio and go every inch of tho way with man. The servioD was woll attendsd.

For somo fow months past'tho congrega tion of Holy Trinity Churrjh, Do,vonport, havo beoa making laudable efforts to increaso tho building fund, a much larger edifice now boing nocossary for public worship. In furtherance of this object a grand concort is to bo givon in tho local hall, North Shoro, on Thursday ovening, whon lovors of good music should not miss the opportunity of attending, Tho programmo contains itoma of moro than avorago ex cellence, embracing somo of tho choicest ballade, pianoforte pioces, &c, and tho con tributors' names aro a sure guarantee that thodiflorent morcectitiV will bo rondored with ability.

BOURKE STREET BY NIGHT.

AMONG THE BOYS,

Tlio Secret Out,

[l)Y THE TRAMP,]

Standing with ono'a back to that huge, unsightly maps of bricks, mortar, and wood work which in years to conio may, whon it issues irom its present embryo Btato, adorn the head of Bourke-atreet, and looking down, as It wore, into the valloy below, formed by the intersection of Elizabeth streot, some slight idea may bo gained of the vaßt population, resources, and business of this London of the South. It is Saturday night. A clear, calm, balmy night, heralded In by one of Australia's magnificent sunsets —a night on which this little world of ours is all abroad with "its sisters, its couaine, and its aunts." All Is Hfo, movement, and brightness. Far as tha eye can see, the broad pavements are covered with a living stream, that flows gradually on, overlapping its orthodox channels as it steadily increases in volume, until It becamos one vast sea of human facoa, swaying hither and thither liko the undulating waves of tho mighty ocean. Omnibuses—and they are legion pass and repass, heavily freighted, while in tho distance the varied hues of the many colourod lamps, interspersed here and there with the most brilliant and silvery scintilla tions of tho eleotrio lights, lend to the scene an additional enohantment, as difficult to depict in words as in imagination to por tray. Veni, vidi, scribendi. In close proxim ity, and evidently keonly watching the great human panorama with interest and enjoy ment, stand a little group under tho veran dah of 8 well-known hotel. They are our English cricketing friends, riieh who have travelled through all tho principal cities in tho coloniosj and one of them espressos the opinion that he has seen "naught tho liko." Ono and all appear in good health and spirits, ovon to "the infant," whose sudden transition from the back of a buck jumper to mother oarth recently caused his friends to opine that his hasty dissolution of partner ship with tho leather had been for good. A ?entlomanly, j»onial, frank, outspoken toam are tlieso Euglishmen, with a courteous captain, and a genuine " lily w hit© " man as manager, As old friends wo come again togothor. Matches won, lost, drawn, and in porspoctivo, form tho theme of conversation, and right merrily aro many amusing incidonts of tho tour rocountod. Not but what they thoy suffered somo hard knocks in their cam paign as " Knights of the Willow," the wicket-keopor of tho team more especially, iia evidenced by a damaged fingor and ihumb. "Nevor mind," said tho namesake r>f sur England's greatest statesman, "we havo a capital remedy for those kinds of iclws and pains, as our follows have found out. I will say that much for St. Jacob." Leaving our visitors, I minglo in tho crowd which still movoß in an endless procoseion up and down what has boon facetiously termed tho half-crown s\do of Bourko-strect. Of ovory class, ago, hoight, and appoaranco, truly a "thoroughly representative throng, in which tho gontler cox— bar a sprinkling of viragos-appear to predominate. The steady, hard-working artisan, arm in arm with tlio partner of liis joys and sorrows; tlio blushing maiilon and hor escort; tho ovor dressed, ogling, prodigato, would-be maahor; and tho loud-moutherI,brazed-faced larrikin —ono and all aro horc brought for the nones into closo though not desirable proximity. Tho shops are all aglow, the windows tastofully and in many cases artis tically drosaod, and business for tho hour reigns triumphant. Meditating on tho pro gress Molbourno lms made in tho jmst few yeara, and still making headway as ft unit In tlio densely-packed crowd, my career was suddenly chocked by a hearty shako and a "Hullo! is that you, old follow!" Jarvis, by all that's wicket I Evoryono knows Jar vi.i, or ought to know tho celebrated South Australian cricketer. Ho is all thero. We adjourn and fratornieo. " I caught it in that last match," ho says, as ho disclose^ to viow a bruise of Mahdi-faco colour tho eho of a boarding-house pancake. "It was a regular stinger at tho time." Expressing an opinion that it must bo very painful, I waa met with tho reply, "Not a bit of it: I always use St. Jacob's Oil whonover 1 get a nasty knock, and that relievos me instantly. In fact, I may say that I havo groat faith in it, as it is a splendid thing in tho crlckot iiold." Conversing on things in general, weagnin roiumo Burperegrinatlona. Crossing Swanston-stroot our attention is drawn to an enormous crowd, who, to all appoaranco, aro Intent on ono objoct,as they sway and surgo in the vain attempt to got closer to ono of the windows of some busi nces establishment. What is the excifce mont ? Is it a fight, or has somoone fallon down in a fit? "Nothing of tho kind," says my companion, "you must havo hoard of Boylo and Scott; this is their placo, a rogular athletes' house you'll find. They post all telograms and reports of various matches; that accounts for the crowd. Come along, I'll introduce you." By dint of perseverance, power and pres sure, we ultimately arrivo at the de sired haven, where tho wickets cease from troubling, and tho batsmon aro at reat. Busy and all as woro tho two partners, exocuting n largo ordor for an adjacent colony thoy found timo after introduction to do tho honours of tho establishment. Every rerjuiiito necessary for crlckot, foot ball, tennis, la crosje, boxing, fencing, and a ho.st of othor athletic, manly games and exorcises were to bo found hero ; in fact, it was a right-of-way out tho most varied and comploto stock I havo over seen in the colonies. You can go in, pay your inonoy and take your choico, and come out in a fow minutes completely oquippod from crown to Hole oither ai a cricketer, footbal'er—or any Dthor man. As an instanco of tho reputa tion of the firm, I may mention that among othor orders thoy were com pleting was ono for tho Flowery Land—laying tho foundation, as it were, of a future Heathen Chinee Elovon. As cending to tho upper floor of their extoneive premises, I was shown an onormous and magnificent stock of bats, made to tho ordor of Mr Boyle by tho best makers in tho mother country. The great Canadian game, la crosse, is now making rapid strides in Australia, and to keep paco with tho de mand, Messrs Boylo and Scott havo had modo to their ordor, and selected by ono of tho best judgos in Montreal,a grand collec tion of la croeao Bticks, which aro woll worthy of inspection. Leaving tho businoss portion of the establishment, we entered a nieoly-furnishod billiard room, which is providod for those patrons of tho proprietors who at ovo prefer the green baize to the emerald sward. The company, though largo, was solect, comprising notable crickoters and footballers. Even tho con versation was highly Bavory of tho cricket Hold. " Threo out for a hundred." said a redoubtable batsman, whose name Is very suggestive of a cool soason, as he laid down tho evening paper. " What match was that?" was askod by an uneuspocting listener. "Why at Tamai, British versus Arabs!" was tho rejoinder,and then his inter rogator understood cricketing phraseology, Speaking to Mr Aloxandor, tlio gonial manager of tho Australian Eleven, on lub eKpenencoa of tho recont tour, I caßually mentioned tho hard knocks and bruisos come of his team must have sustained. In bo doing I struck oil with a vengeance. "For twonty years," aaid Mr Boylo, "I havo played cricket and havo received many a nasty blow, but of lato yoars I can take them like my breakfast, as I have found that by the use of St. Jacob's Oil lam free from any pain or trouble. It's capital stuff, and I never go into tho field without a bottlo in case ef accidont." "In that respect," said Mr Aloxander, "lean endorse your opinion, as while the Austra lian Eleven whore in England they used it ropoatodly for bruises, and found it of tho greatest eorvico." At this stage aMr Law !er, of the Eseondon Football Club, entered the room, and hearing tho subject matter of conversation, chimed in with, " What, St. Jacob's Oil? that 8 the thing for bruises. I got some nasty blows in football matchos, and it gave me instant relief. You ask Crawford, of tho Carlton Football Club, if you have"any doubts en its merits." After such testimony in its favour, of course I could express no doubt on the sub ject; but, to clinch tho matter in that respect, Mr Scott added, "I have used it for years, and can afford to laugh at knocks and bruises, and I may cay that I havo strongly recommended it to all my friends ongagod in athletio sports." As time was going on apace, and businoss callod away the two partners, we again turned into Bourko-street, which was still thronged, although the hour was somewhat late. Bidding my South Australian companion "Adieu," I wended my way homewards fully impressed with the scenes of activity, business, and life I had seen on every hand, and thoroughly satisfied that St. Jacob's Oil rani-" 3 pro eminently to the fore ns tho atinetfi's friend generally, and the cricketer ; and footballer's in particular,
