H. H. Hardwick, competing in a hundred and ten yards handicap, swam the distance in 04 4-oscc, a record for tho distance.

(Hardwick is the New South Wales swimmer who represented Australasia at the Festival of Empire games. He was successful in the swimming and boxing contests, and also lifted most of this year's championships of the English "Amateur Swimming Association. The 110yds course is not dard distance, the nearest championship distance approaching it being tho 100 metres, which is approximately 109yds 2ft. The world's record ior this distance is 05 3-Cscc, held by C. M. Daniels, America. Daniels, however, has swum 110yds in a bath with lour turns in 03 2-ssec, and across tidal salt water in 08 l-ssec. Cecil Henly (New South Wales) is credited with Bwiramincr 110yds straight away m 03 1-Ssec at Sydney on October 1.. 1008, so that the cablegram is. incorrect in stating that Rardwick's time is a record for the distance.)
