Address by the Admiral Addressing the men, His Excel- lency the Admiral said that for the past two years it had been in- possible to hold fleet boxing tour- naments because of the ships having been so scattered, for rea- Sons which they knew well. Then What boxing the men of the Fleet were able to do in Hong Kong was due to the assistance given them by the Hong Kong Boxing Association, several officials of which were present that night and had assisted them in that tourna ment also. On behalf of himself, the Officers and men of the Fleet, His Excellency expressed thanks to the civilian friends for all that they had done. (Applause).

The tournament which they had just completed, His Excel- lency said, had been a successful une. The science seen, if it was not very good science of boxing, над nevertheless good. The

bouts had been hard fought and
