VISITING GOLFERS
ENTERTAINED.
SHANGHAI, MANILA AND HONG KONG TEAMS MEET AT DINNER.
HONG KONG'S RUN OF BAD LUCK
OVER.
A large gathering of golfers was present at Lane, Crawford's Restaurant last night when the visiting Shanghai and Manila Lentas were entertained to dinner by the local Club.
Mr. G. S. Archbutt, "enptain of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Cluli took the Chair, and in the course of his speech recounted some interesting incidents of golf aiatches between. Hong Kong and Shanghai. Hong Kong, he said, won this year, but it was the first time after sever attempts, that victory had fallen to this Colony. THE CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH.
After proposing the toasts of The King" and "The President" of the United States, the Chairman said:
I now have pleasure in proposing the health of the two visiling Trams, and in doing so I would couple this toast with the names of the respective. Captains, Mr. Pil- cher, Shanghai, and Col. Parrot, Manila.
The triangular Inter-Port Hat- eles provide a great deal of in- terest and pleasure and help to cement the bonds of friendship be tween the outlying portions of two great nations.

I now prepose the healths of the two visiting Teams coupled with the names of the Captains, Col. Parrott of Manila, and Mr. Pil. cher of Shanghai.
MR. PILCHER'S REPLY.
The Captain of the Shanghai team, Mr. Pilcher referred to the generous hospitality which his team had met with in Hong Kong. Ho expressed the hope that the trian Fanling and have enjoyed and willgular contests between, Hong Kong, enjoy their stay here.
So far as the Shanghai Team are concerned, they are leaving us to night, (eries of "Shane"), and o we did them welcome and good. bye. They have bem fortunate in having lovely weather and we hopo- that Manila will be similarly for tunate.
Sympathy with Mr. Ferguson. Referring to the matches, I should like to any how sorry we all

At this point 1 should like to thank Mr. Dodwell for taking over the duties of Captain on literally a few minutes notice..
So far as our match with Shang- hai is concerned, we managed to win by a narrow margin and it is interesting to know that this is the first time we have won in the last seven attempts. We lost here in 1924, tied in Shanghai the same year, lost here and in Shanghai in 1920 and 1928, so that we lost five anatches and tied once in the six previous attempts prior

A Dip Into History. On their last visit Shanghai won here and took the Cup back with them. We hope the insurance for the return journey on the Cup this year was not heavy (Laughter). If It was, possibly they may be able to obtain a refund, as, of course. the Cup stays, here. If Shanghai disclose the name of the Company with whom it was insured we might be able to help them as we hope to have to insure it ourselves here for
months, if not years.

Manila and Shanghai would become, an anaun fixture, the games to, be played in the three ports in rolation. He thought October would be the best month as Hong Kong, would fined that date con venient and so would Shanghai and Manila.
Mr. Pilcher said that the result
this year was not so disappointing as Shanghai was without two of their best players, Budd and Mal- culm. With a little bit of luck the scorte of 5-4 against Shanghai might have been 3-4 in their favour. One reason why they lost, said Mr. Pilcher, was because one of their stalwarts, Blinko, did not have his mind on the game on the first day (Loud Laughter). Mr. Pilcher re- inded the Hong Kong team that they only got the cup for nine months, as when they visit Shang- bai in October, the "Northerners: would do their best to retain the trophy.
Cups were then presented by Mr. Pilcher to the individual members of the Hong Kong team.
"JUST SPLENDID,” SAYS
COLONEL PARRÖTT.'
Colonel Parrott of the Manila team also expressed his thanks for the hospitality he had received at Fanling. He thought the interport matches were a fine institution and was great xplained that there rivalry in Manila to get into the team. The speaker added humorous ly that be himself was the wenkest player in the. Manila team and he could not understand why he was chosen captain, unless the selectora had in mind the inclusion of at least one suber man (Loud Laugh- ter).. Your hospitality has been jast splendid concluded Mr. Par rott, and I thank you for the entertainment."
Songs and music brought a very convivial party to a close, just be- fore midnight.

So far as Manila is concerned, we have yet to play them this year but Manila have never beaten Hong Kong here and we have never won in Manila. We might not 'not grudge them a win here after We have won at Manila.
Old Friends and Newcomers Welcomed.
T. should like to congratulate the winners. of varicus individual mat ches and to wish the losers better luck next time. (Hear Lear).
I should also like to add that it gives us much pleasure to see old friends among the individual mem. bers of the Teams and to welcome the newcomers. Certain old stal. warts seem to crop up annually. I particularly refer to "Bob" Ma- son of Manila and Pilcher, and Blinko from Shanghai. Blinko has a well-known reputation for hard hitting, but I believe that he finds it difficult to understand how an opponent of relatively much amal Tor stature can hit the ball so hard as Shewan dota
Before proposing this toast, Rentemen, I should just like to re- mark in passing that, as you know,

The Magistrate replied that the police were not in the position to know what part of the money was the subject of the charge, and they might want to retain it to trace it.

The Navy played a hard game in the second half and their forwards seemed to combine better than they did in the first atanza. Smallwood on the left-wing made some nice runs but nothing came of them. Then the Club again monpolised the play and from one of Owen- Hughes passes, Divett added fourth goal for them. Five minutes later the sailors ran through and Surteca finished off a nice movement with a beautiful shot to give the Navy their first goal. Encouraged by this success, the sailors continued to press and only the fine play of the Club backs prevented them from adding to their score. Play was then confined to mid-field for a time.
