He was given a stiff challenge by Lionel Roza-Pereira, and de- feated his club mate only by a touch. E. B. da Rozá, who ap- peared to be intent on acting as pace-maker for the rest of the competitors, lapped the first 50 yards at very fast speed, making the turn a yard and a half ahead of Pereira and two and a half yards in front of Lawrence and H. L. Ozorio..
Lawrence then began

It was one of the finest cham- pionship races ever seen in the Colony,
Roza-Pereira and Lawrence also had the bath to themselves in the 100 yards open backstroke cham- pionship. The opposition, G. J Smith, Lee Hon-kee and Leung: Yun-hung were never in the pic- ture, and the two V.R.C. stalwarts contested the race in comparatively leisurely style.
It appeared that Lawrence would gain his second title of the open- ing day's events, but Pereira over- took him in the final length and won with much less difficulty than Lawrence had in the 100 yards free style.
