No time was taken. The final takes place at thi Association Regatta on Saturday next. SWIMMING. Given good weather, the Dunedin Amateur Swimming Club shonld have a large attendance at their tournament this afternoon. The ! handicappers have done their work well, so well that I find it a bit tough to pick the winners. However, for the Championship there is nothing else in it except Hollow. This good old swimmer should also annex the other two events, the Bracelet and President's Handicap, for which he has entered. Moller should give him some trouble in the 200 yds. and Imrie should be a good second in the 1507d5. The Maiden Race ought to be a gift to W. Carter, with Mullens close up. The Breast Handicap should fall to Ward, who is a powerful swimmer, with plenty of style; bat young Scurr will be in close attendance. Tb.« boys under sixteen years' event should give a good tussle between Fisher and Moller. Harry Williams has a mortgage on the under-water event; while young Dray should be all there when the plates ore scattered. The Rescue Race will be very interesting, as Mr Mearns, of first aid fame, is to bo a competitor. ' Diver.
