The draw for the quarter-finals of the Open rinks was also made, these matches being provisionally fixed for to-morrow` week.
The following were the draws for the different competitions:--

In the Second Division, the big match will be that between Club de Recreio and Craigengower, at Kowloon. The former must start favourites by reason of ground ad- vantage, and they should not fail their supporters. The visitors need G. E. Stephens to win to sustain their present chal- lenge to the Indians, the only un- defeated team in the division.
The K.B.G.C. should be able to put it across Taikoo, though they won't find it an easy matter if the latter are at full strength, whilst the Police team will find the H.K.F.C. more than they manage.

BRILLIANT DIVING PERFORMANCE BY MISS B.
B. HOUGHTON
RELAY RACES ONLY WON BY TOUCHES
THE standard of swimming at the Central British
School does not seem to have been much af- fected by the exodus of talent within the last two years, and there was a large and appreciative au- dience at the Y.M.C.A. Swimming Pool yesterday morning when the finals were swum off amidst ter- rific enthusiasm, the Boys' and Girls' diving again providing the highlights of the competition.
CHOCOLATE HOUSE PROVED MUCH TOO GOOD FOR BLUE AND RED HOUSES IN THE INTER-HOUSE RIVALRY AND SECURED 134 POINTS TO 97 BY BLUE, AND 75 BY RED. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS THIS LARGE MARGIN IN POINTS, THE RACES WERE VERY CLOSELY CONTESTED AND ONLY HALF POINTS SEPARATED MANY OF THE PERFORMERS IN THE DIVING EVENTS.
|
Among the outstanding performers among the Boys and Girls were Miss E. McKelvie, who returned 15 2-5 secs. for the Senior Girls' 25 Yards dash, as compared with D. Morris' time of 15 secs. for the Middle Boys. A Keown, the School's best sprinter, was again in fine form over the 50 Yards, clocking 28 4-5 secs, al- though he clocked 28 1-5 during the heats!

Some very good performances were witnessed in the Diving, in all classes, Saunders performing extraordinarily well for the Mid- dle Boys to take first place. He has a nice easy action off the boards and is quite cool off the high board. Pryde was easily the pick of the senior boys, al- though his approach to the take off could be considerably polished up. In spite of a loss of points in this department, his flight, poise and entry were much bet- ter than the other boys. Gau- de- bert was second, but was cidedly nervous off the high board.
