WAITEMATA CARNIVAL

HALF-MILE CHAMPIONSHIP

VICTORY FOR A. PASCOE

Tlio new half-mile swimming champion of Auckland is A. Pascoe, who won the contest decided last night at the Waitemata Amateur Swimming and Life-saving Club's carnival in the Tepid Baths. His time was 11m ."J7 3-ss. For practically the whole of the distance Pascoo was closely pressed by P. 15. Mathieson, who, like himself, is a member of the Waitemata Club. At half-way Pascoe tutd developed a lead of about 2yds from Mathieson. They were on level terms at the end of 633 l-Uyds, and they battled keenly over the remaining seven laps. When only two were left, Pascoe led his rival by a foot,, and at the next turn was no further ahead. His stamina proved a little stronger than that of Mathieson, and over tho last lap he widened the gap, touching tho rope, after the final sprint of 13yds, a winner by nearly 2yds. Capper was third, more than 30yds behind Mathieson. Pascoc's time was much slower than the New Zealand record, 10m 53 3-ss, held by L. Newell, of Christchurch. Tho Auckland record is 11m O 4-ss, and was put up by G. Bridson several years ago. The inter-club relay championship of 500 yds, for teams consisting of intermediates and juniors, was won by Mount Eden, which gained tho Williams Cup.
