E'VE done fairly well, I think. We've had a lot of people in the Army and various other representative teams, and I would like to extend our thanks, through the medium of the "China Mail," to the different Clubs and teams who have been so good to us during our stay here," said Lieut. K. E. Cotter, Officer-in-charge of hockey, 1st Bn., The Lincolnshire Regiment, which is leaving the Colony on Saturday, January 4, 1936, on H.M. troopship Neuralia

Lt. Cotter will not be proceeding to India with his Regiment, but is taking up a course at Home. When the Regiment arrives in India Capt. Boxer will take over the duties of hoc- key Officer.

They have an excellent team and almost all the hockey Clubs here will have very pleasant memories of the matches played against them

Members of the team voiced their regret at not being able to pay Macao another visit before leaving the Colony for, although they have never beaten the team from the Portu-
