Should he come to the Straits, the gain: will be ours. Apart from his official career, Sercombe Smith has points to recommend him. He is a good sport, and has long been prominent as a cricketer and lawn tennis player. He was a player in the Interport mat- ches in Shanghai, Hongkong and Bingapore, and on some occasions has captained the Hongkong teams. He was good alike with bat and ball. His many friends, as we have already said, would welcome him to the Straits; but it is by no means improbable that he may remain in Hongkong in the hope of obtaining the Attorney Generalship or the Colonial Secretaryship should Mr. F. H. May (at present acting as Governor) be translated, as he well deserves to be, to a higher position elsewhere. In Mr. May and Mr. Sercombe Smith, Hongkong has two of the best officials it has had in its whole history.
