MR. BRAWN'S SPEECH
In responding to the ionst on be. half of the bowlers Mr. Brawn said:-
When I was responding to the toast of the Hong Kong bowlers in Shanghai Club two or three weeks ago, told Shanghai that I had a confession to make and had до earthly right to be at their festive board. I said I was a gatecrasher, I had bluffed Hong Kong into send ing me up as team manager: Now, from the nice things so many have said about me, I am beginning to think it was not a bluff and that Hong Kong knows me better than, I know myself.
