England Wins Easily "On the Craigengower green, Eng- land defeated Majaya by 25 shots to 9. Although the score indicates that it was rather one-sided, the match was in fact a keen struggle, with Malaya fighting an uphill tussle throughout. It was partly due to inexperience that they fall ed to obtain their scoring shots. for at one stage they were only six shots behind.
The match was seen at its best. between 'the 13th and 15th heads, when Maaya put up a keen tussle to pull up from 18-3 to 16-9, but after this they failed to score.

L.R. PEREIRA IN FINE FETTLE WINS THREE EVENTS
Bright Interport Prospects
(BY SALMON ")
The prospects of Hong Kong in the forthcoming interport appear exceptionally bright by reason of the fact that the star swimmer of the local side, L. Rɑrs Pereira, is in great form at the moment and is swimming better this season than in the . whole of his brillianti carter,
In the V.R.C. sports on Saturday, he gave the spectators a very line arhibition when he won the handicap race of 440 yards. He returned the excellent time of 5 minutes 41 seconds and though this is by no means a bath record, it is the best that Pereira has been able to chalk up in his career. Pereira was swimming with A.

The handicapping was slightly at fault in the ladies race and Miss Doris Hunt found herself faced with an extremely difficult tesk in trying to catch Miss M.
