THRILLING FINISH IN THE 220 YARDS

L. Roza Pereira Wins By A Touch From Lawrence

GEOFFREY SMITH WINS JUNIOR 100 YARDS

(BY

WATERMAN")

The second day's sport of the Colony's aquatic chan pionships held at the V.R.C. yesterday again saw some very fine swimming."

The main item on the programme was the 220 yards free style championship of the Colony, and the event was won by L. Roza Pereira who won by a touch from W. Lawrence, the judges having great difficulty in deciding between the two swimmers in the last lap. It was one of the closest finishes in the 220 seen at the V.R.C. for many year and augurs well for Hong Kong at the forthcoming Interport. The time of 2 minutes 34-4/5 seconds is only 4/5 of a second above the record!

H. M. Remedios started a favourite for the 100-yards breast strokes championship, but failed badly in the last. lap und was fourth out of five competitors.

Geoffrey Smith, one of the most promising youngsters at the V.R.C. won the Club's 100 yards junior champion. ship in the excellent time of 62.3 seconds.
