The local Japanese community will be present in full force to witness the exhibition by their mighty compatriots and those who do not wish to be left out of to-nights entertainment had better be at the V.R.C. before the sport is due to commence. as the indications are that there will be a capacity attendance.

Governor and It is understood that His Excellency the Lady Peel, Sir Thomas and Lady Southorn have "signified their Intention to attend, while the Japanese Consal and Vice Con- But will also be present.

Stars Will Meet Champions

Arrangements were concluded yesterday for the Japanese to give exhibition "in both long and, short distance events as well as in the breast and back strokes. The Japanese team will also play water polo against the strongest com- bination the V. R. C. can field.

Six of the local stars will be matched against the Japanese team in a relay race. The local representatives will include W. Low- rence, the Colony's sprinting ace. S. V. Gittina, who has specially

come down from Canton for the occasion. Lionel Pereira, who is by far the best all-rounder in Hong- kong and other sprinters such as E. B. da Roza, T. Padgett and H. Ozorio.

The Japanese community ori- Einally booked 200 seats at the V.R.C. and much as the committee would have liked to grant them this courtesy it was felt that the interest of the public had to be safeguarded, and as a result only 120 seats were granted to them. The balcony of the Club has been reserved for members, while an official box has been in- stalled at the finishing end of the bath. It was thought that, in fairness to everyone, there should be no reserved seat and as a con- séquence some 300 seats will be available to the public."

It will be interesting to see how the Japanese stars compare with the best that the Colony has to offer. The programme commences
