HONG KONG ANNUAL REPORT, 1954
The Water Polo Team did well at Manila, finishing fourth. In the three metre diving contest at Manila, the Colony was represented by Wong Sik Hon and Chan Wai Sang both of whom have been Colony champions.
The Harbour Race was swum under perfect con- ditions and all but one of the 237 starters completed the course under the stipulated time of 1 hours.
Hockey
The men's and women's hockey league continue to flourish and the usual interports between the Colony and Macau were held.
The Indian Flotilla which visited the Colony in July played a series of games against local teams.
Boxing
Boxing in Hong Kong is still in its infancy. Annual matches have been held from 1949 onwards in aid of the Earl Haig Fund and Service personnel have been the chief contestants. Now that Hong Kong has been affiliated to the International Amateur Boxing Association it is hoped to hold championships at all weights in 1955.
Horse Racing
Interest in, and enthusiasm for, racing in the Colony remained keen and attendances at race meetings were large. Compared with previous years the volume of betting on the totalisator decreased but this was offset to a certain extent by higher sums in cash sweeps.
