SECOND SWIMMING
GALA.
CLOSE FINISH IN OPEN. EVENTS.
WINNERS DISQUALIFIED IN TWO RACES.
By" WATERMAN."}
The second night fête of the Victoria Recreation Club was n great success, not so much from the "gate" point of view (although I think that that must have been highly satisfactory) but from the standard of the sport provided and the keenness displayed by those taking part.
The outstanding event on Satur- day night was the open team race of six a side, for which four clubs entered, namely, the Chinese Swim- ming Union, the Kovlcon Swimming Club, the Club de Recreio and the T.R.G.
The Chinese, I think, started favourites as they had mustered full team. The V.R.C. were with out Johnstone whom they missed badly to that from the start the home team had a good, deal of leeway to make up. led during the first four longths,

By this time, the supporters of the respective teams were hoarte with shouting. When the fourth man took the water, Recreio was leading by seven yards from Kowloon and Chinese, who were neck to neck, and the
·V.R.C. was another three yards be- hind. The position was unchanged when the fifth man took the water, but Lawrance who was swimming for the V.R.C. passed both Chinese five and Kowloon and finish up yards behind the leaders. Noronha was Lust man for the Club de Re- creio and Gittens last man for the V.R.C. There was a gap of five yards between them, and Gittens lowly but surely erept up to Noronha. The V.R.C. supporters who were silent up to this moment, began to cheer Gittens who finished within a few inches of Noronha. Club de Recreio was given a great ovation when the result, was an- nounced. Chinese Swimming Union- was third two yards behind V.R.C.shire on the 1st innings and Kowloon was another yard be- hind.
Results of games completed on Friday were:-
An R.G.A. Victory.
The team race open to the Services resulted in a easy victory for R.G.A., though at one time I thought the Borderers who held a comfortable lend, were going to do the trick. If the K.O.S.B. had placed their swimmers in a different order,. the result might have been a closer race. Several weak swimmers were placed together.

The result of this hent was given as a dead heat between these two swim- mera.

Tan Chan Hing was outclassed and in the course of the race he bumped into his colleague, although this did not affect Leung in the least.
