Then there is the high speed manoeuvre known as the nautical sideslip by which the bosi can clude at the very last minute the attack of a diving aeroplane.
Travelling at her thirty-eight knots the boat merely silpa elther to port or starboard, then slips back on lo her course while the aerial machine-gunner, diving at 200 m.p.h. Is left to spray the empty sea with bullets,

Chinese "Y" Beaten 8-1 By Recreio
CLUB DE RECREIO won the senior division of the badminton league for the University "A" last night!
The Recreto, ulready twice defeat- ed this season by the Varsity first string, entertained Chinese Y.M.C.A., and won by the handsome margin of 8-1, thus virtually removing the Varally's only remaining obstacle.
