LOCAL FIRM'S NOVEL IDEA

(EXCLUSIVE TO THE "TELEGRAPH BY "VERITAS")

BEFORE THE END OF SEPTEMBER it is hoped, there will be completed in the New Territories the finest and most spacious recreation park to be found in this Colony. It will offer facilities for golf, tennis, bathing, rowing, motor boating, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, croquet and lawn bowls, and it promises to become the mecca of all sportsmen in Hongkong.
