DINNER

Local Players Entertained At Macao

The victorious local Hockey team against Macao were en- tertained to a dinner at the. Hotel Riveira by the Macao Hockey Club on Sunday night. The function, which was the first of the present series, was presided over by Senhor F. Silva, the vice-President of the Macao Municipal Council and a patron of the Macao Hockey Club, and there were about 100 people present.

Senhor Silva apologised in Portug- uese for not being able to make a speech in English and he, therefore asked Lious, da Costa to welcome the guests.

Lieut. da Costa said:

The lacao players played the game, and I shouted for them and will shout at them again. There is no doubt that Hong Kong deserved their win, for the better team won.

We are very glad that Hong Kong has come down here to play. us, for, în spite of beating us, it was one more lesson in hockey that the Colony gave

Thanks to Mr. Dand the game was played in the right spirit.

"I will now ask members of the Macao/hockey Club to rise and drink the toast of 'Hong Kong."

· Presentation » After Lieut. da Costa had sat down he was seen to jump to his feet, and, amidst much clapping and renewed laughter, apologised for missing out the most important part of his address. He said: I must really apologise to you, Mr. Dand for not making this scribed with the names of members little presentation of a hockey ball in- We, in Macao, are very sorry and of the Macao Hockey Club, which is a rude in nat being able to reciprocate little token of our esteem and ap- your visits to the Colony with a simi-preciation for all you and the Hong far show in Hong Kong, but then our Kong Hockey Associationhave done players are mostly schoolboys and you for us here. know what it is to tear an only son away from his mother.
