Celeste were Miss Guterres' surprise win in the 50 yards back-stroke and another fine "butterfly" effort by Miss Vivienne. Churn, the Colony champion. Miss Churn had the distinction in a comparatively new field of activi- ty of lowering Miss Lee Po-luen's colours over a breast-stroke event for the first time this season.
Several of the candidates for to concede second place to Poon places in the team to meet Manila Wing-kai, who maintained on the 23, 24 and 25 of this month, failed to turn up and so the swimming yesterday was rather
flat.
Lawrence ill
W. Lawrence, who was expect- ed to sturt in the back-stroke event, is under doctor's advice to confine himself to his home, while B. S. Wilson, the European Y.M.C.A. star, who was conceded a good chance of securing a place in the same event, did not turn up until too late.

As already stated, it Kwok's fine judgment and ex- perience which gained him first place in the breast-stroke. Fong, followed closely by Ho Pun-kan, led for most of the way and as late as the last 20 yards, the first- named was still well in the lead, with Ho lying second.
Came a fine last-minute rally by the former champion" and both he and Fong appeared to- touch at the same moment, the verdict finally going in favour of Kwok by the narrow margin of one-fifth of a second. In the absence of Miss Lily Sadick, who was indisposed, Miss Tsang Fung-kwan of Lai Tsun was favoured to win the ladies' back-stroke. She had not,reckon- ed with Miss Celeste Guterres, however, who got away to a good start, was first at the turn, and got home by a good yard, and y half, with Miss Tsang second and Miss Eileen Grant, who did quite well, third.
Easy Win
A. K, Rumjahn was much bet- ter than the other contestants in in the 220 back-stroke and won by: half the length of the bath. Kumjahn took the lead at about the fourth length to leave the rest of the field standing thereafter.
Lau Yiu-ting set a cracking pace for the first four lengths and was a long way out in front, but his lack of training - he has just been posted again to Central after spending, over a month at Stanley. made itself evident and ho faded out badly towards the end-
