HONGKONG BOY SCOUTS ASSOCIATION.
ANNUAL SWIMMING SPORTS.

​

   The Boy Sconts held their second Annual Swimming Sports in the V.R.C. Bath, by courtesy of the Club Officials. Some really close racing was keenly and enthusiastically watched by the spectators, and the divers showed very pretty style and good form. A Life Saving Race and also an Obstacle Race had their place among the items.
   At the close of the Sports Mrs. Grace most kindly presented to the winners the Certificates which the Association issues instead of prizes. The afternoon closed with the presentation to Mrs. Grace of a bouquet by a diminutive Sea Scout and a vote of thanks proposed by District Scoutmaster White to her and to all those who had so kindly assisted in making the Sports a Success. The singing of the National Anthem brought the little ceremony to a close.
