Miss Page had the best of the second start, but Miss Stockley put in a fine sprint and quickly took the lead. Miss Cauldwell joined the leader and the pair swam together to half way down the second lap. Then Miss Page came along and again went to the front. Maintaining her lead to the finish Miss Page won easily by syds. Miss Stockley was just beaten for third place. The 120 yds. breast-stroke championship was Avon by E. Robertson. J.
