[Br F. M. A]
"Well, well, this will be our laat meal in the good old stall," said the proprietor of the Sik Kee flower stall in Wyndham Street, when I saw him last evening having hia chow with a few fokis. The fact that he had to "move house" at seven o'clock he said, sent his thoughts back some fifty years, when as a little boy, he helped his father sell flowers to the sai yans.
I asked if he was not sorry to leave, and he answered with a sigh,
"Yes, I am, but what can be done? We must go up to On Lan Street and that's the end of it."

Old man Kee said that he was afraid trade would not be so good in their new quarters For one thing, not nearly as many people pass up and down On Lan Street, He explained that in Wyndham Street it was different. Ladies who left their houses with no intention of buying any flowers might pass. by and see a nice posy. Then they would stop, look, smell and buy! Then again, in the "old house" their flowers could be seen by any. body walking along Queen's Road, and here the same thing would hap: Detached and Semi-detached Vilas

He won the first and second sets by sheer brilliance and court-craft. He timed i his shote well and placed them ac curately. He gave Ho Ka Lau little time to decide how to receive and return his shots.
The Turning Polat,
A repetition of form in the third art would have ended the match. but as the scores would indicate the turning point came about at this bage. Ho Ka Lau, by his perform. ance throughout, seemed to pay respect to the old master. He was immensely passive, and always desired Ng Sze Kwong to take the initiative. Only when worked into a position would he dared be enter prising Although adopting such extraordinary tactica ho gaye a very fine display and is to be congratu Inted on his hard-fought win.
Both hold their own' until 4 all had boon called. Ng Sze Kwong showed no signs of relaxation, but to close observers of the game, it became evident that he had not the old-time confidence, and at that im- portant stage instead of pressing home to win, he preferred to be steady, which slowed bis gamo down, allowing Ho Ka Lau to gain. the ascendancy, by which he look the next two games to win the set

I spoke to another old-timer and he said that ever since he was a boy of 10 summers, he had been work- ing in the stall. He is 63 now and still going strong! His views were very much the same as Father Sik Kee's, only perhaps, a trife more pessimistic. With a shake of the head he told me that it would be very hard to earn enough money "for a day's meal" in On Lan Street.
