At cricket he played a good game, being an excellent bowler and a free bat, and he did the hat-trick ance in an laterport against Hong Kong. Many years ago now, he founded a tram known as the "Wanderers "for members of the Cricket and Recreaton Clube who could not get a game with their clubs because of older pinyers being consistently picked, and thus gave many a youngster a chance to show what he could do.
He also was a good swimmer, and won a 100 yards race against Hong Kong, in sea water at the Colony, in 1900. Riding chiefly for the late Mr. Robert Macgregor, he also interested himself, in racing. while golf and soccer also claimed
his attention."
