"It means that I am away from home for about fours months of the year. I often feel homesick.
"It means inevitably that cannot keep in touch with my old friends.
"I have been at home two weeks! In the last two months. In those weeks I did nothing but answer letters.
"I still have my sense of values. "What are 'tennis friends' worth? This: when you are up you have plenty of friends. When you begin to decline again, as every player must sooner or later, they don't want to know you.
"Being a champion tennis player means that I have nothing to do all the winter.
'It means that although I am homesick when I am away all the travel unsettles me, so that I can't really settle down again at home,

There was a slightly lower attend- ance on the Sunday run of the long- kong Cycling Club, under Mr. E.
which Munns, vice-Captain, scheduled to reach Castle Peak for re- freshments and bathing shortly after noon, Several members having made arrangements to ride out direct to the rendezvous after tiffin, the morning party decided to reach Cafeteria Inter than the tima originally set, and therefore the leader made for Taipo and Fanling at a brisk pace. At the latter place a puncture pro- vided excuse for refreshments, and gave time for a more leisurely inspec tion of the light and shade effects produced by a few small clouds on the local hills. A suggestion was mado on resuming the run that the border road should be traversed and accord- ingly the party wended 'their way through Sheungshui to that less fre- quented route. The subsequeat scramble along the side of the Canton- Kowloon Railway and the carriage, of the machines over a bridge by the method of shopping from sleeper, to and water provided many thrills and much merriment. The re- turn to the Circult was made at Dill's Corner (near Santin) and the remain- ing few miles to the Cafeteria was made at a steady pace. A time schedule of the spin showed the riders to have made Taipo in 14 hours, with Fanling half-an-hour later (inclusivo of repair of puncture); the Cafeterin was reached after the border detour at 2 p.m. after four hours' riding..
The afternoon, section did not put in an appearance.until after 4.30 pm. and after refreshments had been en joyed the whole Club adjourned to the beach to Indulge in swimming and Hun-bathing. Another cup of tea was enjoyed on returning to the Cafeteria and the wheelmen then resumed the homeward trip at 5.40 p.m. A strong pace was established by the leader which brought the party without fur- ther mishaps or halts to Shamshuipo at 0.50 p.m.
