Lionel

ANTICIPATIONS of a great race between W. Lawrence and Chan Chun-nam in the 220 yards free-style at the V.R.C.-Lai Tsun gala on Saturday were rudely shattered when it was announced in bald words by the Hon.. Secretary of the V.R.C that Lawrence "had failed to turn up." Roza-Pereira, former champion of the Colony, however, sportingly turned out for this event, and though he was hardly able to offer Chan any op- position, the ovent lost nothing in Lawronco's absence, for a thrilling fight was waged for second place.

One of the outstanding features of the gala was the 25.2 seconds dash over the 50 yards by D. H. Taylor.

Lai

Tsang Cheung-ming, Taun's star sprinter, gained a slight lend after the first few strokes in the 60 yards sprint, but this was soon reduced by Taylor and Hutchinson who drew level, and they reached the end of the bath with Taylor slightly in the lead followed by Teang and Hutchinson, Fong Wah was out of the running.

On the hack stretch Tsank again forged ahead, profiting by Taylor's slight pause after the turn, Hutchin- an also crept up. Taang mede an extra effurl, but was unable keep Taylor and Hutchinson buck. Fur- thermore, he fouled the ropes when about 12 yards out, lost his stroke: rhythm and came good third, Hut- chinson challenged strongly, but was unable to pass Taylor.
