Kowloon Dock and the Police were the earlier winners and they moved up to the higher division: "The Police. are due for relegation again, but" they will no doubt be asked to re- main where they are in order to retain an equal aumber of teams in each division, seeing that Civil Service are already represented in the first division. It is interesting to recall that is the early days, when there were only two teams in the senior division, the Police won the championship for three years in saccession.

According to the cabled reports, the Shanghai skip received little support from his team in this second match, while the Hong Kong skip, himself playing a brilliant game, was not altogether let down

the auspices of the Taikoo Recrea- tion Club, astracted a large number of entries "when it was held at the Club's bathing beach at North Foint yesterday. The entrants were divided into four classes as
under:
Class A Boys.-R. Amery, Jas Sloan, C. Sloan, J. Sload.
Class A Girls.-F. Cousins, C. Weir, G. MaNeillie, G. Swan)
Class "B" Boys.-C, Amery F. MaNeillie, R. McLeod, C. Thiri well.
Class "B" Girls.-Naa Laing, Robin Summers, Ina Cunningham.
The arrangements were in the hands of a very capable committec, with the result that everything went off without a hitch.
The starting point was marked by two steam launches, while a fleet of junks was chartered for the occasion, so that each swimmer was carefully looked after.
There was a very strong flow of the tide, and this perhaps rather put the competitors off their course About forty minutes after the start the leading man" was seen swimming strongly, and loud applause greeted R. Amery as he touched the winning-post first- taking 48 mins. 5 secs, to cover the

distance.
A Fine Performance.
Approximately 10 minutes later, John Sloan passed the winning post to take seccad place. His time was 58 minutes. The third swimmer home was the most loudly cheered one, for she was little Miss Ina Cunningham, who is but 10 years old. Her time was 1 hour 20 minutes, but it was a very gallant effort, taking into consideration the fact that she had to compete against much older swimmers and that there was a very strong cur- rent running throughout the race.
The following also covered the distance, though they touched the sea-wall instead of the winging post, the current carrying them off their course :~-~~~-
