ANNUAL HARBOUR RACES,

ENTRIES CLOSED YESTERDAY,

INCREASE IN MEN'S SECTION.

Entries closed last evening at the Victoria Recreation Club for the three days' 19th annual harbour races, which take place to-morrow, Wednesday and Thursday. On each day the race com mences at 5 p.m. sharp from the Kow. loon Prays Wall (by the Railway Station Clock) and finisher between Murray Pier and the V.R.C..

Entries compare fairly well with those of last year, although they show a de- crease in two retions. In to-morrow's race, confined to Chinese, for the "Mok" Challenge Cup, there are nine entries against eleven last year. For Wednes day's race for the "Manuk" Challenge Cup four ladies have, so far, entered, against six last year, but post entrics will be received in connection with this event. For Thursday's open Champion- ship of the Colony for the McKinnon " Challenge Cup there is an increase in the number of entries showa, twenty three having put their names down, against fifteen competitors last year.

Chinese Race.

In the race for Chinese, Wong Ping Fau, who won the event last year in 31m. 15.4-39. has again entered, while Lerng Tit Sang, who won the event the previous year in 31m. 524-3s., and was second last year in 35m, 113., has also put in his name. The runner-up of 1924, Leung } » Shiu Man, who, on thai ocension, only lost to the winner by one-fifth of a second, but did not enter last year, has also entered this year. Most of the Chinese swimmers who entered last, year (but all of whom did not actually compete) have entered again.

Ladies' Race.

In the Ladies race, Mias V. Owen Hughes, who won the event last year in im. 8, and Miss D. M. Bourchier, who was second in 43m 281-5s., have not entered this year. Flucky little Doris Hunt, who was third last year (50m. 398.) has entered, and so has her sister Miss P. Hunt, Miss George, and Miss Vos, who competed last year have not entered so far. Miss P. Hent finished fifth last year in 62m. 813.

Men's Race... For the men's race

for the Open

Championship of the Colony, A. F. May, last year's winner, in 28m. 14.3-58, has again entered, and E. A Brodie, the runner-up, who then covered the distance in 25m 18.15, bas also, entered. C. J.

Cooke, the veteran swimmer, who won the event in 1924 in 26m. 17.4-65. and was third last year in 28.58 will also take to the water. B. Assumpcao, fourth last year in 33m. 20 also has his name down, and several other well-known V.RC swimmers, as well as some of the younger and newer members will also compete. Four of the Chinese swimmers who have entered for the Chinese race will also competc. Four of the Chinese swimmers who have entered for the Chinese race will also compete. The fastest time for the race was set up in 1913 by J. C. Finch, who accomplished the distance in m. 26. It is interesting to note that J. S. Lyon, who won the boys 100 yards recently, has entered. He is a sturdy swimmer, and, providing he can keep up, should a good chance, although May, Brodie and Cooke are naturally expected

to do well.

The present weather conditions in- dicate that conditions for the races should be almost perfect. If the same weather continues this week, there should be practically no wind or strong current to disturb the swimmers, or take them far out of the straight course.

It is hoped that conditions will be favourable for the three races, and pro- vided there is no choppiness, some excel-

Late last evening we were informed that Kowloon Dock tag had again been called to the vessel and was standing by. Being Sunday, however, few details could be gathered, but a report will be made this morning to the offices of the Company and further news regarding the mishap should be available to-day. It is certain, too, that a feport will also be made to the Harbour Master, who will then decide as to whether a Marine Court of Enquiry will be necessary.
