The Hon. Mr. Kotewall has aptly summarised in a few words the suc cessful efforts of the Chinese teams, but it remains to be added that the premier positions in the Junior Shield and League are also océu

The swimming season is now opening, and Victoria Recreation Club are already making arrange. ments for a series of night fetes. It is hoped that contests with the Northern ports will be held this summer but details of arrangements are not yet to hand. Mr. J; R. Johnson, the holder of many local records, may take no netive part in swimming this year. He will in- stead do some coaching work, but should the Interpart contests come off it is hoped that he will take part in & few races, as his services to the Colony in the past are not forgotten and will be greatly missed if he takes no active part.

The Chinese Athletic "A" were put to the supreme test when they played against the Navy Reserves last Wednesday at Sookunpag The sailors were making a bid for the Junior Championship, and it was a queer coincidence that, like their senior tenan, their chances were spoiled by the same Cluh, Chinese Athletic Association.
