GREAT CROWD PAYS TRIBUTE TO GOVERNOR

SHIPS, TROOPS AND PLANES

UNITE IN FAREWELL

The final ceremonics attendant on the departure of His Excellency the Governor and Lady Caldecott, took place this morning in an atmosphere reflecting regret, but of real splendour.

The Services had united to give one of the most spectacular send-offs which any Governor has had from Hongkong ` shores and the civilian population, both official and unofficial, paid a rare tribute by lining the approach route and attending in large numbers at Queen's Pier.

Perhaps the most striking demonstration of feeling was given by the most conventional bedy present, the invited guests to the Pier, with whom Sir Andrew, and Lady Caldecott shook hands before stepping into their launch. As the launch moved

Tommy Farr Hailed As British Hope For Heavyweight Title

(Special to "Telegraph").

London, Apr. 15.

Tommy Farr, the Welsh champion of the British Empire, scored one of the most amazing victories in the history of British heavyweight boxing over Max Baer of the United States at Harringay Stadium to-night. He won by virtue of a care- fully planned attack in which, in the first round, he ripped the flesh under Baer's left eye and thereafter made it his target, holding Baer off with long-delivery, but powerful lefts.

London, Apr. 15.

Following the appeal of Lord Plymouth, chairman, for a spirit of goodwill at the future meetings of the Non-Intervention sub-Committee, held at the Foreign Office, the Italian representative, Signor Dino Grandi, declared in response that he was prepared to resume discussion of the withdrawal of foreign volunteers from Spain. But he insisted that Italy's acceptance of such a discussion depended upon a similar response from other nations' representatives.
