Miss Marie Farquhnr is expected to retain the 100 yds ladies' title in time faster than Miss Ena Stockley's record. Exceptionally fast times should also be registered in the remaining championship events. The water polo match will be between the two champion teams, Ponsonby A and Waitemata A. HELENSVILLE CLUB.
