A MUCH-ENJOYED AFTERNOON.

(A Special Correspondent.)

Canton, Oct. 9. The annual swimming gala and aports, arranged by the committee of the Canton Swimming Bath Club, was held at the Shameen Swimming Baths on Friday even- ing last.

Most of the Shameon residents, and the naval and military officers stationed on the island, were pre- sent and one and all voted the fete a huge success.

Wynne and Rodger were in the picture with capital play, but the latter had no chance when Chan Kwong-ui shot past him from close range twenty minutes from the start.

The Civilians never settled down, and lack of understanding had more than a little to do with the second surrender, when Lee Wal-koon snapped up a quick pasa and scored with a splendid shot.

The spasmodic ventures of the Civilians were usually broken up before the forwards became really dangerous, the Chinese half-back line playing superbly throughout. Lam Yak-ying was a great spoiler, and his forward passes were wonderfully accurate.

The Civilians put up a stout defence, but it was badly over- worked, the forwards failing to get together. Scott was some- times dangerous, while Pile, Howarth, Silva and Brown all did good things in the course of the game. The trouble was to be found in lack of combination, and many good movements were spoilt by, an absence of understanding. The half-backs, Britain, Oram and C. F. Remedios put in a great deal of hard work, but were erratic, and both Wynne and Bishop were somewhat shaky under pressure.

The Army's Success. 'On the Sookunpoo ground, the Army defeated the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force by five goals to two, outplaying their opponents after a fairly even first half. Stock netted for the Army soon after the start and Woodward put them further ahead, before Vernon got through for the Navy."
