The second series unpaced__road time trials were carried out on Thura- day evening, two mumbers of the Hongkong Cycling Club attempting the distances of 10 and 30 miles.
After unbroken rain almost throughout the day, the downpour ceased, to allow the riders to be started by Mr. E. Munns shortly be- fore 0 p.m. Some akaletanco was rendered to the competitors, by an oblique wind on the outward sectiona of their rides, but this was countered by the opposition on the return. Rain fell before either rider finished and subsequently the roads were in a treacherous condition for the highly inflated racing tyres.
