SPIRIT OF PLAYING FIELD EXTOLLED.
HAPPY SPEECHES.
After a festival of cricket be- tween Hongkong, Shanghai and Malaya, the members of the teams, together with many others, were present at the Hongkong Hotel roof garden last night on the Interport dinner, at which Mr. H. n. B. Hancock presided.
Much pleasure was added to the evening by musical selections ren- dered by the Hongkong Hotel orchestra. Various entertaining numbers were given by Messrs, H. V Parker, E. W. Hamilton and Annis (songs). Burnett (mono- Mr. logues). Major Tuke and Musson (songs with banjo and plane accompaniment), Mr. Dick Barty (humorous songs at the piano), and Mr. Grimble (accom- panist).
After the Loyal Toast had been honoured, the chairman proposed a toast to. the two visiting teams and Hongkong. He said that on many previous occasions it had been hie pleasure to reply on be- half of the Hongkong interport side; but this year that would be
in more capablo hands. "His duty was to propose a toast to the three interport sides, Shanghai Malaya and Hongkong. In doing BO he would refer particularly to the two visiting sides, and he was Bure he was expressing the feel- ings of all cricketing members of the Colony when he said what a great pleasure it had been to welcome the visiting teams (applause),
Mr. Hancock continued he was sure such visits did a great deal to strengthen the bonds of friend- hip and good fellowship which existed between British cort- munities in the Far East. The name of cricket had a particular attraction for Englishmen. It was still, he thought, regarded as the king of games, with its special appeal to everything that was good and wholesome in spirit. He thought he was right in saying that the game appealed almost as much to the looker-on as to the players themselves (applause). Why that was so he" was not quite sure. Perhaps some of them had read books by Neville Carters, who was a great writer on cricket, In one of his books he said.- "Cricket draws out the whole man-hot only his practised craftsmanship, those tricks of the trade that may be exploited automatically if you are good enough. but also his wit, his temper, his humours, those animal spirits in man which at any moment, given a chance, impel him to all sorts of romantie hazards."
The Chairman continued that the spirit of the game was one of its strongest points, and he thought he could safely say that the matches witnessed in Hong- kong during the past fortnight had been played in the right spirit (applause). It was a code that had influenced the lives of Britons wherever they had gone, carrying with them all that was good and right, playing the game, playing cricket and inoculating others with the spirit of the game"
