KING’S HIGH SCHOOL
ANNUAL SWIMMING SPORTS MAJORITY OF RECORDS BROKEN The fifth annual swimming sports of the King’s_ High School were held in the Municipal Baths yesterday afternoon. In the championship classes, records were broken in every instance save one, the junior bads stroke. Maclndoe, last year’s junior champion, easily annexed the senior championship. Although the records he set last year were nearly all broken, he succeeded in establishing a new set, which compare quite favourably with those of other secondary schools, and should not be so easily displaced. The races were run off with despatch, the meeting finished well up to schedule time. Some good performances were witnessed. Results were as follows: Breast Stroke, 66 2-3 Yards. Recordholder, J. B.
