Kemungkinan dua gading yang dibawa pulang dari Pahang ini adalah gading terberat pernah diperolehi dalam aktiviti pemburuan gajah setakat tahun 1939: //"In the Malay Peninsula a ten-foot elephant has never been recorded, so far as is known. The tallest elephant on which Mr. Theodore Hubback has had reliable evidence was one shot by Mr. Frederiksen in Kelantan which measured 9 feet 8 inches at the shoulder. The heaviest tusks recorded in the Peninsula are supposed to have been a pair weighing 90 3/4 lb. which were taken from an elephant shot by the late Mr. William Hay in Pahang."// (The Straits Times, 7 June 1939, Page 12: {{ :akhbar:straitstimes19390607-1-2-56.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19390607-1.2.56|"NOTES Of The DAY"]]; The Straits Budget, 15 June 1939, Page 5: {{ :akhbar:straitsbudget19390615-1-2-5-1.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitsbudget19390615-1.2.5.1|"Elephant Records"]]). | Kemungkinan dua gading yang dibawa pulang dari Pahang ini adalah gading terberat pernah diperolehi dalam aktiviti pemburuan gajah setakat tahun 1939:- |

| //"I think the heaviest pair of tusks recorded in Malaya was from an elephant shot by the late Mr. William Hay in Pahang. They weighed 90 3/4 pounds as recorded in Messrs. Rowland Ward's 'Records of Big Game.' Probably the extreme weight of mature tusks might be taken at 100 pounds the pair, but the average would be about 50 pounds the pair."// |

| ===== 1922-01-08: Cadangan Calon Game Warden Selangor ===== |
| |
| //"Big Game Shooting. There is a persistent rumour in well informed circles that at no very distant date Game Wardens are to be appointed for each State in the F.M.S. One Warden for the whole federation would be wholly inadequate, as the area is far too large to permit of even superficial superintendence. That such an appointment is necessary is not doubted, but great care should be exercised in the selection of the candidates, and we are not so sure that they are easily to be found. They should of necessity have long experience of the country and its hinterland and should be of course keen sportsmen themselves. ... For Selangor no better man could possibly thought of than William Hay, our crack big game hunter with 30 years experience behind him."// (The Straits Times, 11 January 1922, Page 9: {{ :akhbar:straitstimes19220111-1-2-63.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19220111-1.2.63|"Selangor Paragraphs"]]; The Straits Budget, 13 January 1922, Page 17: {{ :akhbar:straitsbudget19220113-1-2-64.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitsbudget19220113-1.2.64|"Selangor Paragraphs"]]). |

| //"Big Game Hunting. The jungle districts of Pertang and Jelebu and especially the valleys of the rivers Muar, Triang, and Serting abounded in 'Seladang' (bison), elephant, and rhinoceres. The Dato Raja Kaya of Pertang was the greatest hunter of the whole of the nine states. He was credited with shooting 15 elephants, 34 of the mighty 'seladang', and innumerable rhino. It was not impossible for a man of leisure who lived almost in the forest, and possibly hunted at least every week in the year to have secured this huge bag. The late William Hay of Selangor, who was also a mighty hunter, accounted for far more elephants than the Dato, many tigers, but only one or two 'seladang.'"// (The Straits Times, 4 December 1925, Page 10: {{ :akhbar:straitstimes19251204-1-2-77.pdf ||}} [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19251204-1.2.77|"Bygone Negri Sembilan"]]). |

| //"Mr. Granville O'Hara's Lecture at Hu Yew Seah: ..... I remember an incident where that wonderful Shikari William Hay shot a tiger and tigress within half a minute of one another. We sat up over a kill all night, the night being a bright moonlit one, evidently the tiger or tigers were aware of our presence, for nothing happened nor was the kill visited. Early next morning we came down the machan and went to the Kampong to refresh ourselves and returned within the hour to find that the kill had been removed. The examination of the ground proved that two tigers had removed the kill which was a bullock. Hay changed guns and armed with a 12-bore followed the track and came upon them sitting over the kill, which they had dragged in a semi circle to within twenty yards of the original spot under the machan. Without further aid, Hay bowled over the tiger with his left barrel over the kill and with his right barrel brought down the tigeress that sprang at him, the two shots fired being within a fraction of a minute. The tigress hardly had a skull left."// (Pinang Gazette and Straits Chronicle, 7 November 1931, Page 4: {{ :akhbar:pinangazette19311107-1-2-6.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/pinangazette19311107-1.2.6|"The Origin of the Malay “Ronggeng”"]]). |
