THE OLYMPIC GAMES.
SWIMMING FEDERATION MEETS. PAST RECORDS AUTHORISED. CHARLTON'S SYDNEY SWIM. (Received 11.30 a.m.) PARIS, July 21. The International Swimming Federation held a surprise morning meeting, at which it was decided to ratify "Boy" Charlton's Domain Baths' records of •January last in the S44yds, in which he beat Arno Borg; also Borg's mile record. It was also decided to recognise future Domain Baths' records if swum up and down the baths. The Federation will probably recognise Miss Fanny Durack's records, to which Mr. Merrett referred-, and Beaurepaire's 1500 metres and 1000 metres records, made at Honolulu. It also recognised that each record-breaker receives a medal, but all the foregoing records have since been broken at the current games— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
