Prixes Distributed.

Prizes won during the season and in the harbour races were distri- buted later by Mr. W. Logan, who remarked on the successful results of the swimming and the support given by the competitors.. He banked them and also the donors of prizes, including among them Mr. M. Manuk and Mr. R. M. Dyer, C.B.E.

Referring to the harbour races, Mr. Logan said that he had to specially congratulata Miss Yeung Ba King for winning the Indies event. She was only 11 years old according to Chinese, rockoning and swam a fine race to win from older and experienced swimnors. Mr. Logan said he had also to con- gratulate the winner of the men's event and Mr. Cooke for joining ib at his age. It was some 19 yekta ago that he won the harbour swim among his many successes and be appeared to be still going strong.

Dr. Logan also mentioned that it was not fair for spectators to say that they could not watch the swimmers owing to the presence of sampana. The boats, he said, word quite necessary as "anfely first" must be the motto leaving other Lirings aside. These remarks were received with applause.

Miss Young Bau King received An ovation when she stepped up for her price.

SCHOOLGIRL'S GREAT SWIM.

7 MILES IN 4 HOURS IN ROUGH SEAS,

Although firmly established as a popular annual event, the girls' championship is not above criticism. The time has come when considera tlon should be given to the desir- ability of deciding this tournament on different links. Stoko Poges is, Thousands of holiday-makers and admittedly, one of the finest inland residente gathered on West Pier, courses in the country, but because Ramsgate, last month, dustily Stoke Poges has been the venus cheered a thirteen-year-old school from the start, the girls' champion- girl, Florence Proctor, when ahs ship is in danger of acquiring a landed after swimming in heavy parochial reputation.

boys' championship until the or- ganisation was placed on a national basis and courses were selected for it without any suggestion of a re gular sequence, of venues. Formby was visited for the championship of 1928, when 06 entries were received, and it is likely that Lancashire will soon be asked to provide another courge for the boys' event. It is possible, therefore, that the organ isers of the girls' championship will realise that the Northern Counties, which have supplied some of the best women golfers, are entitled to consideration,

"Bravo, little girl! Well done, Florrie! the crowd shouted, in

their enthusiasm.

It was indeed a great perform- fee for a girl, particularly in iew of the fact that two older and nore experienced awimmers who had proposed another long-distance swim that day, from Dover Ramsgate, postponed their attempt because a sudden fresh south-wester- ly wind had rendered conditions round the South Foreland and Dover so unfavourable,
