NEW YACHT CLUB?

Sixteen-Foot Boats

It is understood that ten local sportsmen have placed orders with a Hong Kong shipyard for the construction of sixteen-foot garhts, of an American design which will make their appearance in Hong

Kong this summer.

These yachts which cost $250 each are centreboards and

very light. Each of these vessels will have a comet painted on her main- sall, from the design-name of which the Comet Yacht Club will be formed.

These yachts are something like the well-known sixteen-footers which sail in Sydney harbour, though their wing spread is not likely to be so big.

Detalls as to the intended ac- tivities of the club have not yet been divulged. but it is hoped that the club's headquarters will be mede on a small Island- close to

CHINA V. ENGLAND AT

MELBURY

Lo, Ho And Miss Hoahing Beaten In Singles

There was a match in miniature between China and England at the Melbury meeting, writes A. Wallis Myers in the "Daily Tele- graph.” - On the visiting side weṛe K. C. H. Lo, G. Ho, and little Miss Hoshing; on the home side, H. W. Austin, R. J. Ritchie, and Miss Stammtrs.

By the fortune of the draw thèse players were in opposition in the singles, and though Miss Roahing proved to be no match for England's joint No. 1, Lo and fo both captured sets' from Austin ...... and Ritchie respectively.

It must be confessed that Austin. Considering that Miss Hoahing was almost Lo's confederate in the played quite a level match against set which the Englishman lost. Miss Round at Melbury last year.

AUSTIN RECOVERS TOUCH The match was over when Austin found his touch and, by a turn of the wrist. could conduct Lo into a region of the court where his re- sources were inadequate. In the

last set, instead of serving doubles, Austin provided aces.

of quite a different character was "Ho's contest with Ritchie. Incisive volleying gave Ritchie an untroubled first set and he looked to be winning the second when, after being behind, he led 6-5, having forced the pace judiciously.

But Ho kept his best passes for this crisis and the bout was quietly and confidently saved. The final set ran to 14 games and Ritchle only claimed it by renewing his volleying pressure and making some really brilliant backhand thrusts.
