The | first and most important event was the 200 Yards Championship of the Colony, prize presented by H. F. the Govern r. Near the end the race lay between C. Cook and N. H. Alves; and Cooke had a meritorious win and got warmly applauded for his achievement. In the 1 lunging competition F. K. Tata won. the Running Header there was keen there were Luwerons en- competition; trants from among the young blood of the Club. but the popular Hon. Secretary,
the White, surprised Frank by winuing
with first honours graceful dives deroid of fault. Frank Jorge ran the Hou. Secretary close, but spoiled his chances with his second essay which fell short in quality. C. Cooke also carried off the first prize in diving for plates.
