Writing to Mr Hill, Mr W. Henry, hon. secretary of the Royal Life-saving Society, London, says he intends making an effort at the annual meeting of the English A.S.A. to have the "hundred" championship brought forward co as to enable Cecil Healy to compete under as near Australian weather conditions as ia possible in the cold country.
If Cecil Healy and the American world's hundred yards' record-holder, C. M. Daniels, do not meet in the Olympian games, it looks as if (judging by the following telegram published in a. late issue of the London "Sportsman") they may get together in England:— "0. M. Daniels, of the New York Athletic Club, will visit England this summer, and endeavour to lower the record in championships from 100 yds. to one mile." ,
