SWIMMING.

- .1. ■ — THE WAITEMATA C__UB. The Waitemata Swimming Club held a successful gala at the Tepid Baths last evening. The final of the 100 yds handicap was won by J. Enwright, in 59 2-os. in the 100 yds ladies' scratch invitation race, contested by Misses Shand, Stockley and Bell, an unfortunate incident occurred. Misses Shand and Stockley got away together, but Miss Bell was late, and a cry arose from a section of the spectators oi "False start." The starter made no intimation to this efTect. and Miss Stockley led at the tlrst turn. Here, an official told Miss Shand to stop. She did so, but the other two raced hack together, Miss Bed slowing up, as the spectators gave cries or " Stop." Miss Stockley swam to the next turn at top speed, but as she turned a swimmer dived In and stopped her. When the event was re-swum later in the evening Miss Shand won from Miss Stockley by two yards, with Miss Bell third. Results:—■ __ , ___- Tiny Tots (Boys) Handicap, « ,3 „* . >.i' — First heat: J.
