His place has been taken by Petty Officer Smith, the placky little gymnastic instructor who was last seen in the On that secrsion ring with Seaman Willis. Smith gave a good account of himself, and there ¡s redoubt that he will again de sn on the 24th, notwithstanding the fact that he is pitted against a reputed champion.
