LIM THIAN TET ELIMINATES A. V. GOSANO
Poor Tennis At· H.K.C.C.
(By “REFEREE”) Poor light, an occasional drop of rain and later a 'swirling breeze pro- vided very poor playing conditions in yesterday's Colony Tennis Champion- ships, most of the matches producing a poor standard of play:
The best match of a mediocre pro- gramme was the singles encounter be- tween Lim Thian-tet,, of Hong Kong University, and A. V. Gosano, the form er Recreio singles champion, which re- sulted in a very easy victory for the former.
Continued Growth Of Insurance
The Directors of the Manufac- turers Ife Insurance Company re-. 'port increases in business in force, income and assets at the fifty- second annual meeting.
Although the disturbed condi- tions during the year were reflect- ed by the fact that the new busi- ness, including deferred annuities, of £11,837,823, was 44 per cent. less than that of the previous year, the business in force increased by £3,365,179, to £117,721,733. Total income was £7,132,138, an increase
Gosano, who has not played tennis of £524,852, over the correspond- for several months, proved no matching figure for 1987. Payments to for his much younger opponent, whose policy-holders and to beneficiaries sizzling: forehand drives and sound all- totalled £3,073,623, of which court game carried him into the next round within half an hour.
PUT KNEE OUT
E. E. Story had very bad luck against Wong Shiu-wing and was forced to concede the match not long after its Commencement, putting his knee out in attempting to reach a ball..
