Swimming season is now in full swing and most of the European and Chinese clubs have already held their first galas, the Victoria Recreation Club providing some first class sport last Tuesday, while the European Y.M.C.A. also held a successful function last Wednesday night. before a large gathering of spectators.

Lawrence's feat of 55 3-5-secs in the Members' "A" Class 100 Yards Free Style Aggregate Handicap at the V.RC. on Tuesday last. Lawrence certainly moved very fast through the water and his win, in spite of a heavy handicap (he conceded mine seconds to the scratch man), was a meritorious one. His time was only 2-5 secs. off that of T. Adjaluddin, of the Philippine Olympic team!
