Some misunderstanding seems to have arisen with regard to the mem-June hers' mixed tram race. This race is not an invitation for private teams to compete but one in which
the entries-both ladies and mem bers are picked to swim for any one team. A similar race was held
last year at one of the night fotes. The competitors who have not pre- viously competed in a race at the V.R.C., are required to have their times taken for the 50 yards-two lengths so that an equal handicap can be judged for each team. ready quite a number of young ladies have antered their names for this race, which is expected to be one of the features of the evening.

The final event on the swimming programme is a water polo match between the Services and Chinese. This game should prove fast and interesting, as both sides have many good players among the teams in the Water Polo League.
