None will deny that the times, such as they were, augured well, especially when one remembers that this Colony will be visited, sometime in October, by a contin gent of swimmers from the Philippines.

I was rather disappointed in not seeing the Chinese "y" swim in the C.B.C. medley relay against the Lai Tsun Union. The South China race was too short to serve as any basis of judgment, and 1 think that another race over the longer distance is required before one can establish the better team.
