It represented the Interscrvices cham-' pionshlp in high jumping covering Navy, Army and Air Force. Still another notable trophy is a gold medal which was presented by Princess Juliana of Holland, this also being for high jumping which, with sprinting, is the young athlete's athletic forte. Another outstanding trophy was a medal presented to Hugh at Camp Borden, Ontario, before he went' overseas for beating all records In jumping, this presentation having been mad by Major P. F. Worthlngton then at Borden and now general officer commanding, Pacific Command, at Vancouver.' First of the 15 trophies is a noclest little bronze one which Hugh received for sprinting at Prince Geor.?e when he was a schoolboy. It was later in Na-na'mo that Hugh really started his athletic career. He enlisted .from Vancouver, his home then having been Chisholm, Alberta, and he has been overseas two vears. Mrs. Taylor will be leaving Monday night by the Princess Adelaide on her return to Vancouver where she now resides. She has been here since early December.
