Swimming Sports

There was a good attendance at the Swimming baths for the weekly carnival. A good number of events were run off, and some close finishes were witnessed. Two young swimmers who caught the public’s eye were Alan Kitto, a young lad who put up a grand performance in winning the boys’ 100yds, and Miss C. Cressy, who gave an excellent exhibition of the breaststroke when she won the girls’ 33 l-3yds. Results: —
