INTERPORT ROWING
HONG KONG DEFEATS CANTON
FIRST SINCE 1921-
On Saturday the first Interport rowing regatta between Hong Kong and Canton since 1921, was held at Shameen, in the presence of a large gathering of rowing enthusiasts both of Hong Kong and Canton,
The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club defented the Canton Rowing Club by five paints to three after a keen struggle in which luck was somewhat in favour of the Hong Kong oarsmen.
The French gunboat "Vigilante" and H.M.S. "Tarantula" anchored on the finishing line, the judges being on "Tarantula."
Mrs. Hoffmeister, wife of the President of the Canton Club gave away the prizes on board H.M.S. "Tarantula" at the close of the re- gata, and in the evening a dinner was held at the Victoria Hotel, Sha- 'meen, followed by a dance given by the French community to Admiral· Stotz, to which the Hong Kong and Canton rowers were invited.

His day's work finished, he retired to his flat in 8th-avenue, for which he paid £2 a week, and in the morning banked his earn- ings.
Latterly he employed a valet and planned to retire as he had £8,000 invested in mortgages and was the owner of several news stands in Boston. He remark- ed to his landlord, "I will take it easy soon, as I get enough from 'suckers' here."

He was given the option of going to the workhouse or putting up a £200 bond that he would leave New York by midnight.
Cheerfully he put up the bond and departed from the city which had been his gold mine.
