SWIMMING AT THE LAKE

WEDNESDAY'S HANDICAPS. The fifth club night will be held at the lake tomorrow, the first event commencing at 0.-J0 p.m. Interest will be very keen, especially in the men's events, owing to- the fact that several competitors are almost level in points gained in previous galas. Clare, Burton, Tito and .Webb are sure to put up a great fight for positions, a win at this stage for the first-named would probably put him in a very strong position, while the others would overhaul the points lead with a straight out victory. Handicaps are as follows: — Men's 50 yards' breaststroke: G. Harrison (scr), P. Smith (lsec), R. Tito (2sec), D. Burton (2sec), B. Dudley (osec), A. Sinclair (b\sec), S. Spiers ( : Jsec), J.

Two ladies' events should draw a good entry, their performances at previous galas showing that with a little coaching, (lie local swimming girls should do well at outside carnivals.
