EMPIRE GAMES AND THE COLOUR BAR.

Allow me to correct an error in the information sent me from Ceylon and contained in my letter published in your issue of August 1st. The Ceylon Amateur Boxing Association had refused to adopt the proposal affecting South African boxers without further consideration of the matter and direct correspondence with the South African Athletic Association. The purity of Ceylon sport, therefore, continues still unsullied by discriminations against colour, caste, or creed. I deeply 'regret the delay in making this correction owing to absence from the `=Old World" till October 4th.— D. G. OBEYESAKERE, The Royal ,Empire Society, Northumber. land Avenue, W.C. 2.
