INTERPORT AQUATICS,

The Interport selection committen has at last selected the team for the swimming: con- tests in Shanghal, and I must day it is the strongest combimailan Hongkong could ever put op, and the committe are to be con gratulated on their good work. It is a pity that hay bave selected Mr. Cecil Humphreys to be swimming captain as there are beites men in the team. I think Mr, C. J. Cooke should be the man for that post, as he is by far a better all round man than Hamphwys. Now the thieg is done and let us hops. Humphreys will do bis duty and son that the tem capture the honours, Shanghai will have a rough time with the Hongkongites, and the only man they are depending on is Mr. R. W. McCabe I don't think he will have such an easy time in the long distances as he did last year, fotog Below is what the Hongkong team can do:— Cecil Humpăray, a good man for 160.3618 and will also make a good diver. A fast longth and two lengths swimmer.

C. J. Cooke should do well in long distances and an excellent pole player. He will no doubt setuin with some boantifal trophies, and will surprise the Shanghalies with his crawl,

Hongkong, 15th August, 1910. Our corto poode's "assumptions" are pro bably based on the greatly reduced interim dividend which has been declared, as announced in the business section of this issue to day. Instead of thirty-five cents, which was paid in acconst in 19.9, the interim for the current year will be baly filtean cents. The rumour is pretty generally carreat in the Colony, that the reduced interim dividend is attributable 10 the recent los at Shanghel, AL any rate, that is the opinion held in Stock Exchange circles in Hongkong. We have no doubt that the smaller dividend payable in respect of 1910 is susceptible of satisfactory ex- planation on the part of the general managers. There are many circumstances contributing towards reduced profits by industrial conceras la Hongkong. In these days of small mar gins," to quale a phrain from the Chairman of directors at the Doc Co's meeting on Monday, and the kean campalition which has robbed the Colony of several of his most lucrative markets, investors in indestiral companies in Hongkong cannot any longer hope for the palmy days of the Colony and the fat dividends which fell to the fat of shareholders when

THE NORTHIKEN · RAPRESENTATIVER.

A fortnight hence and the swimming repre- sentatives from Hongkong will be on their way to Shanghai where, during the first three dars of september, they will participate in a sarias of interppit events and, needless to say they will make every endeavour to retain the much-covered "flag" which they won a hand. somely do their own oil, or rather in theirown water, nearly a year ago. It would baridi. culous to prognosticate at this stage as to the result of the interport play; Shanghai people would naturally very much like to see the honour go to the local representatives bot, from a sporting point of view, many wil' bio with as io sing "Let the best team win." Is one pariicular respect our friends from the southern colony have a decided advantage over Abang- bai, and an advantage which may go a long way in assisting them to victory, and it is this, that they are able to ejsy their squaties pretty seatly all the year round, whilst here in Shang. hai climatic conditions are such that swimming is only possible during the summer months, that is to say from about the beginning of June to the end of Septemter, the remaining months of the year not being at ficiently warm to allow of swimming with any degree of comfort.

The Interpost events are expected to take pl.ce on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the Municipal Baik onar the R fis Range, the home of the Fbangbal International Swimming Club which was formed soms three years back, The members of this Club have recently shown con- siderable activity, and the "Club night" which bave been held twice weekly for the pisi two months have been well attended and various informal yet interesting events have bro soc cessfully carried through And now Training has beng comm.pced in dead earnest for the approachlog contea:with Hongkong. Tee same can hardly be said of the Shanghai Row ing Club, and it is doubtful whether more than two or three of their members will take part in the Interport events. This is of course much to be regretted, as it is al rost certain to have an effect upon the reipit of the costels.
