H. May and W. T.; Elson being the finalists." The result was a win for Elson by 6 and 4.
Next Sunday the K.C.C. meet the United Services Recreation Club in a match to be played over King's Park:
The annual dinner of the Golf Section and presentation of prizes will be held at the Palace Hotel on Saturday, April 17th. The Secretary will be pleased to hear of anyone wishing to attend.
It appears that the Cheong Shing while on the way to this port, saw three men
clinging on to an over-turned cargo-jank which was in a sinking condition and lying near the Nine Pin Group. A boat was immediately lowered and the men rescued They were taken on board, and duly fed and clothed, and when the vessel anchored in harbour the men were handed over to The Police. The tale told by the men to the Police was to the effect that at 10 a.m. on April 7th, while the junk was on a voyage from Hoi Fung to Hongkong with a crew of nine and seven passengers, the The following will represent the Club rudder broke.
