SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Lively interest is being displayed in the National Swimming Championships, which will be commenced on Saturday afternoon at the Te Aro Baths. The entries received constitute a. record, including all the title-holders, and the racing nnd diving promise to be distinctly high-grade. Seven championship events will be disposed, of on the opening day, all of which willba productive of star performances, especially with swimmers of the calibre of Dow* sett, Cameron, Lindsay, Stokes, Claridge,I'arrcll, Etvrifdit, Moorhonse the Misses Stockley, Miller, Grant, and Magee, and several others engaged. Tomany the 109 yards men's race is the chief attraction, mainly by Reason of the recent perormances'of th& local champion, TV. Cameron, who is expected to give Norman' DowseU tho race of his life; but all the other events will provide attractive racing. If times aro any criterion at the present, soy« oral records are likely to be broken, and; those who recollect the championship meeting at Tc Aro in 1022 will find that the present-day swimmers are still improving. The special accommodation: stand is now in course of erection, and seats can be booked at f~ ~ "—«u's!r jMiinners street.
