Ever since then there have been intimate and friendly relations: between Macao and Hongkong and there has been a steady in-1 crease in the number of the Por- tuguese who have made Hongkong their home. I am very glad that the enterprise of the Portuguese, here resident, has resulted in the erection of the fine Club house and it has been a pleasure to the Hongkong Government to allot a portion of King's Park in Kow- loon for the Club's use. I wish! the Club de Recrelo every hap- piness and success. (Applause.)
