team are fourteen strong and make a very strong side, being especially brilliant at the longer distances. Tientsin have created a sensation by sending down the Ever smallest Interport team known, for they are only being re- presented by six swimmers. These combine: proficiency in a number of styles and they are confident they can bring off a coup without resorting to the water polo match, which they are not contesting. Inability to get leave and other causes are the reasons for net sending a water polo team. It is not known when the tekmi w arrive, but they will reach here by train between the 10th and 12th
