HONG KONG DAILY PRESS. TUESDAY,
LAUDATORY SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED REDS TROUNCED
SIR THOMAS' SPEECH Addressing those present Się Thomas sald:
Sir Shouson Chow, Ladies and Gentlemen,-Not very long after our arrival in this Colony my wife and I were entertained at a Dinner Party by our Chinese friends and very flattering remarks were made about us-by the Chairman, Sir Robert Ho Tung I remember I pointed out that you had not known us very long and that you, were taking us largely on trusty In fact you were taking a consider- able risk in saying such nice things about us and I expressed the hope that in later years' when you.knew

ever slight to ourselves, then. Ladies and Gentlemen, we ask for no other reward.
The wrench of leaving Hong Kong is greater even than we had expected. In ten years of active ife we have become deeply root ed in Hong Kong. Its beauty en- thralls us, its friendships bind us. its generous appreciation inspires us. For what little we have been able to give we have received in return full measure pressed down and running over. Our hearts are sad at leaving our friends and our unfinished tasks; but I should be hypocritical if I did not admit that we are looking forward with in- tense interest to our new duties,

things equally pleasant. to say Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, you have known us now for ten years. and we are happy indeed that you should still be willing to pass 80 kind a verdict on us both as you You have done this afternoon, have indeed "been to our virtues over kind and to our faults a little blind." I can only hope that as our deficiencies seem to have es- caped detection for so long, you will not and out anything in the next few days which will make you wish to change your opinion,
I do not disguise from myself the fact that farewell addresses are usually written in the language of hyperbole but I confess it warmy the cockles of our hearts to hear such generous appreciation of our work in Hong Kong. I only wish we could lay the flattering unction to our souls of believing that what you have said is really rue. Un- fortunately we have practised the Greek virtue of knowing ourselves and while I myself subscribe whole- heartedly to all that has ceen said about my wife she bid me include her in saying we know we do not deserve the praise you have show- ered on us in such full measure.
INDEED GRATEFUL
We are indeed grateful to our Chinese friends for the beautiful screen which has to-day been pre- sented to us, for the kind words Raid about us and for the gather Ing together of this large assem-

wishes of our friends here.
Ladies and Gentlemen-It may be a long way front here to The Gam- bia but many of you will be in England some day and then you will be only eight days away by sea and much less by air. please don't forget us but come to The Gambia and renew the old
So
friendships of Hong Kong. We promise you, as I said elsewhere. the warmest of welcomes in all senses of the word.
Sir Shouson, once more we thank you and the Chinese Community for your many kindnesses to us and particularly for this handsome screen and for this friendly party: we thank you all, Ladles and Gen- tlemen, for sparing time to join In this happy gathering. (AD- plause).

DRAMATIC TURN
IN GOLF FINAL
MICKLEM & LACEY LOSE TO FLAHERTY & TWINE
London, Apr. 9.
Dr. J. A. Flaherty, an Irish in- ternational, and W. T. Twine, both of Langley Park, Becherham, won the Addington Foursomes on the New Course, yesterday.
In the final they beat G. H. Micklem, a former Oxford Blue, and A. J. Lacey, by 4 and 3.
None who saw the first alx holes of the match could possibly have imagined a "success other than for Micklem and Lacey.
Beginning, in masterful fashion, they appeared to have so com- manding a tip of the game that
a friend whispered in my ear: "This is going to be a fiasco; the match will be over at the twelfth- 7 and 8."

I will confess that I shared much the same view, though not agreeing. with the margin of victory. But had reckoned without that shrewd and calculating Dr. Flaher- ty, with his weird felt hat and dark muffler hanging loosely round his neck.
The doctor nursed his partner so perfectly that Twine played the game of his life. He produced wonderful brassie shots and holed many vital putus, all of which turned the fortunes of the game in the most dramatic manner.
With six boles played, the op- ponents were two up and it looked all Lombard-street to R china orange that they would win the severith and be three up.

make for the glorious, uncertainty of golf. Micklem and Lacey had started 1, 3, 4, 4, 4-par figures- and at the dog-legged seventh the opponents were in the heather from the drive and just in the fairway with their pext.
Micklem, who, up to this point, had scarcely made the semblance. of a mistake, was perfectly placed with a wide open green in front of him to aim at.
For some un-
known reason he took a No. 2 iron, tried to force the shot, and sliced to mid-off in heather a foot deep.
WELL-CONTROLLED SPOON Lacey hacked the ball out, but meanwhile Twine had played a shot beautifully-controlled spoon on to the green, and his side won the hole in 5 to 6...
This was the beginning of one of the most disastrous, landslides known to golf. Going from bad to worse, Lacey and his partner last six out of seven hales Ave in a row...
Following a half in 4 at the eighth, they took three putts at the
of 37 to the tum.
At the 10th Micklem pushed his drive so far to the right that the ball finished on the seventh green. Then Lacey, in an attempt to reach the green, topped a spoon shot into heather a few yards ahead.
OVER-STRONG TEE SHOT · This was a 6, and another hole gone. At the short 11th had Lacer's tee shot ran through the green on to a treacherous patch of bare ground, Taking a 4, the side were 2 down instead of 2 up a few moments before.
Their oozing confidence was fur- ther shattered by a glorious brassie shot on the part of Twine to the long 12th, Dr. Flaherty proceed- Ing to rub it in by holing the putt for an "eagle" 3.
There was no stopping the Lang- ley partnership. The his two fine shots to the 13th, while Lacey, from a bunker on the right, exploded a shot clean over the green,
