THE FINAL EVENT. - A
C. J. COOKE WINS CHAMPIONSHIP.
VETERAN'S NOTABLE
PERFORMANCE.
Causual interest centred in the Harbour Race Open Championship of the Colony yesterday, which was undoubtedly, one of the best seen for a good many years, The participation of last year's winners and representatives from the Army, the Yavy and the civilian population as well as four of the best Chinese swimmers, attracted a huge turn out to watch the finish. Weather conditions for the race were not as good as those of the previous day, in which the ladies competed, but there was nothing to complain of, except a rather strong North East wind. Every thing went off without a hitch, after a Inte start.
The competitors picked their positions at the Victoria Recreation Club before being conveyed by the launch to the start ing point. A big crowd illed the space between the Ferry Wharf and the Rail way Station to see the start, while a good
number of motor boats and launches with interested spectators awaited nearby to follow the progress of the race. Among them was Lt. Comdr. G. F. Hole, R.N., the Harbour Master, in his steam launch, Picturin

was apparent that barring accidents Cooke would win, while the stragglers were hopelessly out of the running, and would have been almost forgotten if they had not eventually completed the dia-
tance.
The Finish.
Once past. H. M.S. Forglove, Cooke, immediately went into the straight to ward the Victoria Recreation Club. Ho passed the Club verandah still swimming as he did at the start and continued with- out any relaxation to the winning post, araidst rounds of applause. He appar cutly felt none the worse and swam back of the Club. His time: was
to the steps
20 mins. 10.1/8 secs, which is the best since 1920. Norris and May then appear ed, and from the Club verandah struggled for the second position, the former, ap perently the stronger, finishing about thirteen yards ahead. Excitement was greater after this, when several competi tors all grouped together, with only a few yards between them, struggled to reach the winning post. Ford came in not long after with J. S. Lyon, the youngest com petitor, next, Evans asd Gittins reached the post almost together, while it was with difficulty that the order of finishing for the next few could be judged. Wong Boon Hin, winner of the Chinese event, came in tenth. Brodie and Assumpcao struggled for the twelve place and others came in two by two.
The order of the finish was as follows:

were
The feature of the race was certainly the wonderful performance of the veteran swimmer, C. J. Cooke, who, now some- what over fifty years old, got bome first in convincing manner. Cooke, as generally ksawn, first won the Harbour Race in 1909 in 99 mins. 96.9/5 secs., and sprunga surprise two years ago when he won it again. Then everybody agreed that it was his ripe experience of the tide and current that materially brought him victory and the opinion seemed to be confirmed last year when May, who is some thirty years younger, cleverly fol- lowed his course and beat him by more speedy swimming in the last lap. But a different story murt now be told after yesterday's race. From the start, he made a beeline for, the winning post, followed by most of the competitors who

His splendid effort, programine provided, although a short was really a wonderful example of con- one, proved very interesting." fidence, grit and "perseverance, which thoroughly merits the admiration of the whole aporting community of the Colony, A Great Raca. Yesterday's race was, perhaps, as in-
any in teresting and exciting as
the annals of the Harbour Races. The large number of competitors made a close in- dividual, survey impossible, except for the first few, but immediately after Cooks had won, the others entered into the straight towards the V.R.C. in rapid succession. Norris, May and Ford care in close upon each other, second, third and fourth, re- spectively, while a group of seven others all swimming strongly, with only a differ- ence of few yards between them made the work of the judges and time keepers extremely difficult. Brodie and Assump- cao struggled for the twelveth place and before they had touched the Praya Wall others entered upon petty races" from time to time. Out of the twenty-three who started, only one, E. Zimmern, failed to complete the course.
Spectator's Splendid View. Under Cooke's excellent leadership in taking a direct course, the spectators around V.R.C. saw a great deal of the race. From H.M.S. Forglove, which was some three hundred yards out, all the swimmers could be seen coming in one by one and as they came in rapidly, one after another, interest was maintained for some time, The sight also of the launches and other craft following lent colour to the race, while the voices of the naval ratings could be heard, in the midat of all the excitement, cheering their favourites..
