Shanghai at one time drew level with Hong Kong by taking the Arst two places in the Diving Championship, Ed da Roza and S. . Wong, the Colony entrants being anplaced in this event.

Llanel Roza Pereira falled to show up to expectations in the quarter mile when R. Norman, Tientsin's brilliant all-rounder took first place and again beat the Hong Kong Champion, W. Lawrence, for second place.

Tientain caused two further surprises when Dr. Oblwein snatched a narrow victory from Lau Po Hay of Hong Kong in the 100 Yards Back Stroke, while George Nignlewitzky the Tien- isin sprint star eliminated N. Hammond of Shanghai and T Paket and E. B. Roza of Hong Kong in the 50 Yards.

Hong Kong even falled to get placed in this event and now that the series is over It can be said that. Hong Kong's failure in spite of their briliant times in the trials may be attributed to lack of practice in a fresh water pool.

The Colony secured their only win of the day in the water- polu when they defeated Shanghai easily by six goals to

Tientsin are to be congratulated on their magnificent win for with only six swimmers, which meannt the forfeiture of points for water- polo, they managed to win Inter- port honours.

It is noteworthy, that with the exception of the 50 and 100 Yards free style events, the Colony's best times for every other distance, re- mained unbeaten It must be said, however, that the Colony's" best, times were set up in salt wa-

·ter.

The closest approach was made by R. Norman who came within four-fifths of a second of L. Roza- Pereira's best 440 Yards time, while Dr. Ohlwein clocked 69 4/5: secs, to win the backstroke event, as against Lau Fo Hay's 69. 2/5

IN AMERICA'S CUP-

Rainbow Leading When Time Limit Expires

Newport, RI, Sept. 15.

The first in the series of great yacht races in which Mr. T. 0. M. Sopwith's Endeavour is challenging the Vanderbili ayndicate's Rainbow for the America's Cup ended in a "no con- test" as neither boat reached the finishing line within the stipulated 5 hours. It was hard luck on the Rainbow which was leading by half a mile and was only half a mile from the Ainishing Line when the time limit expired.
