YESTERDAY'S CHAM- PIONSHIPS.
The three remaining Open Cham pionships of the Colony were decided last evening in the Victoria Recreation Club camber, these being | the Long Plunge, Throwing the Water Polo Ball and the Team Race. Possibly owing to the cold- ness of the water the events did not attract many competitors and in the case of the Team Race, which was postponed from a previous fête, no club or hong put up a team to swim against the Victoria Re creation Club, who therefore had a awim over, the team covering the distance in 6mins and 69.4-560cc Six' men took part and each swam

The same situa- tion would likewise develop in the event of the death or retirement of the Duke of York.

Excellent work is being done in the field of industrial education by the London County Council, whose latest scheme provides for the train- ing of boys for the outfitting trades.
Instead of turning out mere robots," the practical training to be provided by the L.C.C. will at- tempt to produce salesmen with an intelligent and complete knowledge of their business, able to anticipate the need which most customers have some difficulty in expressing.
The training is to be given at the Westminster Day Continuation School in Retail Distribution, at Horseferry-road, S.W., in conjune tion with the National Association of Outfitters.
