There was not a vacant seat at the Victoria Recreation Club, on Saturday night, when the attractiori was a swimming fete at which the Japanese Olympiad competitors, at the invitation of the V.R.C. tried conclusions with local swimmers. Though the visitors carried off all events, the Victoria Recreation Club men finished second and third in 'the 100 yards and second and third in the 50 yards. In the shorter race, the performance of G. Razavet was highly creditable as he was only beaten by a fifth of a second.
In the 200 yards event the placings were Miyahala, Takaishi, Lyon, while in the team race the hosts put up a grand tussle and, though defeated were by no means disgraced. We were benten by one second by the team that was fourth at the Olympiad!
