THE RACE DESCRIBED.

At 143 p.m. the launch left Murray with competitors, officials and friends for the Kowloon side of the Har bour. On Lae Praya Wall, Fast of the Ferry Wharf there were gathered between Efty and sixty spectators to see the start

of the race.

The notion that grinvoces of "thr I workers" havŋ anything considerable to do with the existing chaos in China is indeed fantastic. It has been expressly repudiated even by the Canton Govern- | ment, yet there are still some in England who persist in talking Communist cant upon the subject-with what amount of actual conviction it is not for others to

surmise.

At eight minutes past five Mr. R. C. Witchell. (Secretary of the Victoria Rrercation Clab) started the competitors
