V. R. C. AQUATIC SPORTS.
SECOND DAY,
The first event on the programme on the 21st inst, was the championship of the colony, for which there were five entries. It was expected that last year's winner, A. A. Alves, would hardly be able to hold his own this year, but the ex- pectation was not realised, He was six yards ahead of the second man (“ A. E.") at the finish. His time was 2 min. 45 sec. against 2 min. 51 sec. last year, that of his brother being 2 min. 54 secs. J. H. R. Hance outdistanced all com- petitors in the swim under water. He covered 104 and the second man (Tata) 99 feet. Humphreys covered 1521 feet last year.
