Miss S. Gotlieb and F. Pennington, of Wellington, Miss P. Watts, of Wanganui and P. E. Mathicson and Misses I. Purdie and W. Dunn, of Otago.

Ihere should also be stirring competition when Misses Purdie, Gotlieb and Watts, who have splendid records, race the Auckland lady champions. Mathicson, holder of the national backstroke records, will be opposed by the best exponents of this stroke in Auckland.
