Before returning to the Colony after that tour. he broke the China National record of the 100 metres; he nexollated the distance in 1 min. .02 secs, at the All-Singapore Acqua- tie meet. At the present moment he is hard at training at the Chung Sing Club for this year's champion- ships and has consistently done the 100 metres in 1.04 secs.
