THE COLONY RECORDS FOR THE 100 YARDS HACK-STROKE] AND 220 YARDS FREE STYLE, W. LAWRENCE IS NOT ONLY EXPECTED TO RETAIN HIS TITLE AS 100 YARDS CHAMPION IN THE FIRST DAY OF THE OPEN COLONY'S CHAMPIONSHIPS, ORGANISED BY THE V.R.C.. BUT IS} FAVOURED TO SMASH THE 10-YEAR-OLD MARK OF 59) SECONDS DEAD, SET UP BY D. LYON IN 1924.

Lawrence's best time for the distance is 59 1/5 secs, which he established during a handicap race at a V.R.C. swimming gala early in the season.

It is a pity that the 100 Yards back-stroke event is also sche- duled to be decided to-day as Lawrence, who is but one-fifth of a secant behind the record-holder. Lan Po-hay, cannot be expected"). to offer a serious challenge in view of the effort required in the| former event. Lawrence, however, is almost certain to secure 11 place in this race.

The other championship will be Throwing the Water Polo Ball, which is being revived after a lapse of one year. T. Pagel, the Holder, will defend his title, Lawrence again being included among the challengers.
