Indeed, at the opening of the match, it looked as if Rumjahn would run away with it, for he took the first set comfortably of and was playing with any amount confidence and enterprise. Ng Sze- kwong, however, aliowed Rumjahn to spend himself, and then went on to take three sets in succession as easily as he had lost the first.

There were about 150 persons present, and no effort was spared 1 give them most enjoyable evening. A pleasing concert was arranged, and prizes were distri- buted.

During the evening, the Rev. H. Copley Moyle, vice-president of the club asked Miss Smith to accept two Chineso lamps and a Chinese song as a token of affection and appreciation of the congregation after her fourteen years' con- nexion with them. In doing so he spoke highly of the valuable ser- vices she had rendered.

The chairman spoke of the future events which were being. organised and appealed for sup port. The next, he said, would be dance on May 13th in the Ca- thedral Hall, for which fancy dress would be optional, tickets being $2 each, and ladies by courtesy. Following that a moonlight picnic would be held on the 16th. for which a launch will leave Queen's Pier at 8.36. Mter that he said he hoped they would be able to arrange for weekly picnics on Saturdays, commencing on May

Concluding he asked the Rev. Copley, Moyle to present to Miss Midleton Smith tokens of the affectionate regard the congrega-Mr. Fash's Punch, (Encarnacao) Lion had for her.

The Rev. Copley Moyle, paid bigh tribute to the work of Miss Smith, during her connexion with them. He said Hongkong was famous for always either bidding people welcome or bidding them goodbye, and when one had been jere for some little time the good- byeseemed to predominate. Dur- ing last few weeks they had said goodbye to quite a number of Leople, and it was sad to say that when friends were not coming back.

Wherever they went to they would often fut a person from Hongkong, and it was extraordin- ary how Hongkong people seemed to spread all over the world. When they said goodbye to a Hongkong friend however, there was always n chance that would come across them again in some other part of the world.

Rumjan Careless.

Ng Szo-kwonga form was not such ΠΑ to create cvermuch confidence that he will beat Honda in the final, if the Japanese succeeds in getting through to-day. There is no variety or force in his service, which is by far the weakest point in his game. He was mainly content yesterday to play from the base line and to allow his opponent to make the mis. takes. When he did go up to rat he found Ramjahn's lobbing so. ineifective and badly placed that he had no difeulty in scoring point after point. Frequently Ng Sz0- kwong manoeuvred his opponent out 1of position,

He was sure the affection for her would be a lasting affection for her in the lives of those girls who had gone through the school during the time she had been headmistress,

She had always been ready and willing to lend a hand to anything and was an indefatigable worker. They had the privilege of having her on the Church Council, and she had performed a useful work there. At one time they were

A few weeks ago she presented St. Peter's with a beautiful banner, which she asked him to dedicate.

The shortness of this route means less time "in transit" and quicker deliveries. Less time in transit" means lower insurance and interest rates. These factors are vital to the silk shipper. They are equally vital to you, for they mean sales advantages and ship. ping crenomics.
