Amongst them, the most interesting will be a team race open to Hengs, Clubs and Army and Navy units. Already the following teams have entered for this event, viz.. Chinese YMCA. R.G.A. Yar Kowloon Dockx, U A. C. and V.B.C A team from the Uab Lusitano will probably also compete. The other Interport events are the two lengths race and the water polo. Ladies and children's events, and an amusing Nomination race fil the rest of the pregramme.

Secretary of the V.R.C. told & China Mail re- porter that it is not intended to make the contest an individual Club affair. but a straggle in which the best in Hongkong will be pitted against Shangbai.

WATER POLO LEAGUE,
The Water Polo League is in full swing and during this month a series of interesting matches will be played at the V.R.C. Although all the matches which have been played so far have been well attended. it is perhaps not generally known that ladies are ad- mitted to these matches at a nominal fee of 25 cents. Non-members of the Club can also attend. a small charge of 30 cents being made for civilians and 25 cents for service These charges have been made necessary as there are always nam erous petty expenses to be met ia connection with the running of a league, such as the supplying of new balls, caps and gold and silver shields for the winners and runners- up, all of which have to be defrayed by the Association.
