HONGKONG FESTIVAL OF SPORT Colony

New Colony Sprint Record The Highlight Of A Most Entertaining Afternoon

By I. M. MACTAVISH

Yesterday, as a pleasant break from weekend soccer, I went along to the Second Annual Outdoor Festival of Sport staged by the Amateur Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hongkong at the Government Stadium.

What a rewarding experience it was.

From half past one, when Mr Kwok Chan expressed his pleasure in declaring the Festival open, until after five o'clock there was a constant yet always changing pattern of sporting pursuits. There was surely something for everyone, and the affiliated organisations, who participated in the programme did, a first class job.
