PHILIPPINES AQUATIC STRENGTH
Interport Prospects Bright For Hongkong Comparatively Poor Times Reported From Manila
(By "Ripple")
HONGKONG'S PROSPECTS in the coming interport swimming meet with the Philippines on October 23, 24 and 25 are, in view of reported times from Manila, considerably brighter than wore first thought. Swimmers from the south- ern islands have a formidable reputation, and in the 1936 World Olympic Games at Berlin acquitted themselves well.
But it seems that the later generation have been und able to maintain the high standard set by stars of those earlier times, though while the fall has been regrettable it has brought the Filipino swimmers more into line with the standards of the Colony swimmers, and the coming meet which would have otherwise been very one-sided promises an ovenness in struggle that should make it the outstanding aquatic event of the past several years.

You will enjoy it in any situation, because it is the very best Bridge game for two people yet invented.
Let us admit at once that there are certain technical difficulties which cannot be overcome. We are well aware of them--but they do not affect the character of the game In any way. Neither player sees more than his own hand while bidding and only his own hand and Dummy during play.
