OLYMPIC CLUB CARNIVAL. UNOFFICIAL RECORD ESTABLISHED The Olympic Swimming. Club held its weekly carnival at the Macliae Baths last evening, when th© attendance was somewhat disappointing, seeing that seven championship events were carded.

Martin, who won the' championship dive and also the ribbon dive. In the latter event, Martin established an unofficial record for . New Zealand, diving over a : height of Bft. 10in., whereas the official record is S feet 6 inches.
