LTHOUGH no records were established by the victorious Japanese Far Eastern Olympic swimming team, and World champions, at the |V.R.C. last night, three V.R.C. bath records were set up which will probably remain unbeaten for many years to come. A record crowd of over 700 were treated to an exhibition of stylish, master- ful swimming, thrilling finishes and wonderful stamina, rightly summed up in the words of Sir Thomas Southorn, K.B.E., at the conclusion of the evening, "such as many of us have never seen here before."

The bath records set up by the Japanese swimmers were:

(By G. L.)

THE victorious Japanese Far Eastern Olympic swimmers, who will attack World records for distances in yards at the European, Y.M.C.A. pool to-night, commencing at 7.30 p.m., are prob- ably the fastest contingent of swimmers yet grouped together.

Many of the present, representatives have surpassed the re- honours at the Olympic games held in Los Angeles in 1932. cords set up by the powerful Japanese team which 'took World

Full expectations of new World records were hoped for t the recent Manila Games, but unfavourable weather conditions hampered the Japanese, who are accustomed, to more temperate waters.

Hong Kong, however, is considered admirably suitable, and the Colony will probably have the honour of having recorded in its baths more than one record which will be accepted by the. International Amateur Swimming Federation, controller of the World Olympic Games.
