Seven teams are still left in. Waimea Swiir.ming Club, Bombai'diers, and Mental Hospital have not yet met with defeat. -~ Kirkpatrick's, Fusiliers, Green's and National Reserve Band are the others that remain in. Waimea Swimming Club have the advantage of the experience they gained in the previous tug held I here. The rest of the teams have improved considerably, and those who reckon it an easy win for Wain-ea Swimming Club may be surprised at the end1. Fusiliers say they "were unlucky when they met'Waimea.' one of their men not being well, and tho team not being seen at its best. Kirk--Patrick's and .Mental .Hospital, whu seem to be giving away a lot "of weight' are training hard, and are confident oi success. Bombardiers are an improved team, due no doubt to havino- an ex Tieineneed^ captain -in Mr a"'Falcon- . bridge, who only smiles when it is said that Any other team is going to win.
