Bridsou during the week, Dave Lindsay, who is to attempt to lower the Xew; Zealand rccoid for the 440 yards at the Te Aro Baths to-morrow.atteinoon, is quietly, confident that he ■will go very close'to new figures. He is swimming better than ever lie has done in his success-ful-caieei. The race in which he will attempt the lecord will be the centre championship,for that distance, and special arrangements have been made for iiiudsay's participation. He -will be opposed by the best of the local cracks, including Clatidge, Blakeley, and Pelhara, each-of whom will contest the title .and provide'the opposition -for their doughty opponent. Len Moorhouse, who is accompanying Lindsay, is also ,in great form. He is to attempt to lower his own record for the 110 metres, backstroke, a style at which he has no equal. He has won the national title for the past six years. A special r,ace has also been, provided for the attack, in which the opposition provided ' will ensure a fast pace being set all the- way. While these two events will be the main attraction, there are other races which will attract attention.
