In this, one of the greatest attractions will be the Com- bined Chinase v. Combined V.R.C.-Y.M.C.A. meet at the V.R.C. pool on July 26.
Arrangements hvae more or less been completed, except for the selection of the teams, and in the composi- tion of the latter the gala will assume the aspect of a pre- view of the Colony Championships.
Only one change has been made in the suggested pro- gramme, which will now be
