ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

-

It is expected that a good number of entries will be received for the ladies' race, Miss Maude George, the local lady champion and har bour swimmer, intends to take her swimming seriously, this year. She will compete in all the races and defend her championships. The Misses Phyllis and Doris Hunt are alsa enthusiastic this year and in tend to train very hard this season. As was seen fast year in the Ladies Harbour Rase, there are quite a number of good Indy swim mers among the Chinese clubs and there, is no doubt that a good entry, and a formidable one, will again be seen for the harbour swim this year.

Witchell was a tower of strength in the Kowloon back line and was responsible for Kowloon's safe defence.
