SWIMMING CARNIVAL

APOLLO CLUB’S MEETING

IN MUNICIPAL BATHS.

An excellent programme of events Tras presented by the Apollo Amateur Swimming Club last evening, when its first carnival was held, at tho municipal baths. Fast times and close finishes were recorded and entries were good. The club lias made very good progress since its inception and if future carnivals are conducted in the same manner their complete success is assured. Tho public attendance was slightly disappointing. In opening the carnival, tho Mayor, Mr A. J. Graham, regretted that there was not a larger attendance. The Apollo Swimming Club was a branch of the Apollo gymnasium and physical culture recently formed, and both the club and Mr Lewis deserved every support for their work in affording the youth of the town facilities for physical culture and manly sport. Mr Graham wished Mr Lewis and the club every success and hoped that tho programme that evening would provide very interesting racing. DETAILED RESULTS.
