WELLINGTON

, Wellington will have a strong representation. A check-up of the times made by the boys from the southern city shows that they will not be at all laggardly. DIX-TROTT'S efforts over all distances up to and including the quarter- mile leave the . others with little or no margin to' come aijd go on, and there should be some strenuous struggles for pride of place m each of these swims. W. Cameron,- m the intermediate boys' class, holds the New Zealand championship for free-style and breast stroke over the 100 yds., and should give the others a good deal to think about when he takes the plunge. He will represent Wellington intermediates m the 100 and 220 yds. events, as well as being a member of the polo team. . ■ The probable personnel of the polo team will- be: Batchelor, W. Cameron, C.'Fordham, F. Adam, W. Leask, A Watson, W. Brackley, J. Blakely 'and W. G. Morpeth. Morpeth will make . a good bid for honors m the three-mile harbor race for the Annette Kellermian Cup, the ,field for which will, undoubtedly, be a big one.
