Injuries and the loss of players, owing to transfer to other ports, have compelled the Athletic to postpone the majority of their Y. M. C. A. SWIMMING games during the last month, but they have now been able to get together a team. Their prospects against St. Joseph's, are, however. not very bright.

Three

other First Division games are also featured in to-day's programme, the most interesting of which will be that between the Navy and the Club, which is being played at Kowloon.
