Many heats were required and in the men’s 50 yards event there were 59 entrants. It was stated that the number of entries constituted a record for such a carnival. Swimmers who attended from over a large area found the baths decorated, while the Feilding Pipe Band played several numbers before the opening of the evening’s programme. Mr J.
