Writing

the notes "Veritas" concerning the lack of public support for the proposed sub- scription dinner in honour of Tilden And Vines, "Sag" says

Those of us interested in teinis paid our money and saw the displays at the Cricket Club. Why therefore should we be expected to pay $10 for the privilege of seeing Messrs. Tilden and Vines entertained by the officials of the Hongkong Lawn Tennis Asso- clallon?

It would appear that "Veritas" him- self was not sufficiently Interested, as he says that up to yesterday evening not a single booking has been made for the subscription dinner dance."

Personally I, as one of the Hong- kong public have attended both, of the matches staged, and hope lo attend the future games. I feel, how- ever. that even Bill Tilden's per sonality does not merit the disburse- ment of ten hard earned dollars (for a dinner dance) which could and will be applied to a better purpose.

I dislike the idea that Bill Tilden should feel the Colony has."decided to cold-shoulder him socially." This snay be the opinion of "Veritas" or anybody else whe expected the "cock- talls, hor d'oeuvres, excellent dinner with drinks, dancing and further drinks up to a ceriain time," but I doubt if it is the considered'

opinion of Messrs. Tilden and Vines.

["Veritas" writes in reply: --The alternative to rating, the public for subscription supporting the dinner dance, is to abuse the Hong- Kong Lawn Tennis Association for ever seriously considering that Hong- kong would be in the slightest bit in- terested in such an event. Perhaps that should have been my angle, yet methtaks that if the H.K.L.T.A. had made no effort whatever to provide a social programme for the tennis players "SAG" would have been e of the first to condemn the Associu- ilon for their niggardiness and breach of good manners. Nevertheless to clear up any possible misunderstand- ing it should be made quite clear that what I wrote on Friday last con- stituted purely my personal opinion, ant was not in any way the voice either of the L.T.A. or Tilden and Vines.}
