YESTERDAY'S EVENT FOR

SMALL SHIPS.

The annual Small Ships' Marathon race, which was hold yesterday In weather which was suitable for the event, attracted over 50 competitora comprising nine teams.

Hill, who con- gratulated the Tarantula team their success, amid the plaudits of the onlookers. A medal was presented to each member of the team, which included the following Lieut.

Following the presentation, those present gave three hearty cheers for the Commodore.

Lieut. Freer, 16m. 07. (Sirdar). Lieut. Johnston, 16m. 08. (Taran-

tula).

The length of the course being 3 miles and 200 yards, this must be considered a remarkable time, for road racing. The Royal Navy's official record for 3 miles track racing is 15m. 34.

The winner's time last year was 17m. 20s.

The Tarantala team is to be heartily congratulated for winning the event for the second year in succession, es- pecially as this ship has not had the opportunities of some of the othem for training, Serapis was the "dark horse" of the entrants. Petersfield was disappointing, after having been in Serapis place last year.

GARRISON NEWS.

THE ROYAL SIGNALS GO OVER TO KOWLOON.

The detachment of the Royal Corps of Signals has moved from Welling- ton Barracks to Whitfield Barracks, Kowloon, and his thus severed its connexion with the Royal Engineers in Hongkong for the first time since the inception of the Corps.

However, the detachinent is con- fident that it will be able to main tain the prestige of the Corps in many fields of spert, and, to that end, they have their own Sports Club, and have organised teams to play football, hockey and tennis. They have two hard courts, and will run tournaments. They also desire friend- ly matches with other units in the Garrison, and fixtures can be ar- ranged. Under the command of Major Harris, Command Signal Officer, with Captain Darling as Com-

pany Officer, and Lieut. Gough as Sports Officer, they will prove them- selves competent to deal with most of the teams sent to play them.

New York, Mar. 7. The question of whether the Scott-Sharkey fight film was censor- ed Is likely to be decided in the courts.

Henry Sonenahine, the owner of the Sports World film exchange, has instituted proceedings against the New York Daily Mirror, claiming £60,000 damages for libel for al- leging that four blows were delet- ed from the film of the fight.-- Reuter's American Service.
