The weather then could not have been bettered and there was a crowd of nearly 300 people present to watch the scheduled programme which was put through expeditiously, the finals concluding at 5 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.

Diving by Paeroa and visiting divers was one of the best exhibitions yet seen in Paeroa and it drew wellmerited applause from the large audience.

On Sunday the weather was showery but a novel programme of crazy dives, club relays, and an open 220 yards race was put on to entertain the Newmarket conyietitors and the few Paeroa spectators who were present.
