Victoria Recreation Club by 5 sets to 4 received all the thrills promised. Some idea of the closeness of the game will be gauged from the fact that a start was made at 8.45 p.m. and the final set was not concluded until 11.45. Incidentally, when this sel was started, the score was 4-all.

Without wishing to detract from the merit of the swim- ming club's win. I think they were more than a little fortunate to secure the points. On two occasions they were within an ace of defeat, but with fine determination pulled up and scored ex- cellent victories.

Nine years ago W. C. Hung, who now plays for the Kowloon Cricket Club, was the mainstay of the C.R.C., and it was chiefly due to his efforts that they were ablef to keep going in their last two, seasons. At that time he was one of the Colony's outstanding cric- keters and, fresh from a course ati the late Anbrey Faulkiner's school of cricket, he time and again astounded the local cricket world with his fine all-round feats.
