At rx o'clock, on the crack of the pistol, Wednes- day morning, September 5th, two hundred swim. mers dived off the special float provided by the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, to start the 3rd Wrigley Marathon.

Two hundred entrants, every one in the pink of physical condition-some of them the world's best swimmers.

One by one the icy water of Lake Ontario over- came them, humbling their strength and endur- ance. At 6.43 p.m., of all the two hundred who plunged so vigorously into the lake, only man, Georges Michel, was left,

Gentlemen,

Toronto, September 7th, 1928, I write to inform you that during the 3rd Wrigley, Marathon, just as during the Wrigley contest of last year, I did not take any other food but "Ovaltine""_which, I took in milk or black coffee. Furthermore, I particularly appreciate your product because “Ovaltine" was my only nourishment when crossed the English Channel in the Spring of 1927. I appreciate this strength-giving food for its light consistency und rapid assimilation.

Yours very truly,

Signed. G. Michel.

Make delicious "Ovaltine" your daily beverage, Ovaltine" is just what every man, woman and child needs to build up reserve vitality and to maintain bealth.

At the conclusion of the Eight, H.E. Major-General C. C. Luard (G.O.C.) distributed the prizes to the winners Before making the presentation he said that this was the second boxing championship which the Army out here was able to have. Until last year there was only one British regiment in Hong Kong, but with the advent of the Shanghai Defence Force, they were able to arrange a boxing tourna ment. This year they had four British regiments in Hong Kong and the tournament had been a great success. Boxing in the Army, should be encouraged in every way possible. It forced men to keep fit, and fitness was one thing which the Army always aimed at. It also developed courage sad determina. tion, qualities needed in every Boldier.
