SPLENDID ENTRIES

COMBINED CLUBS’ CARNIVAL. FOUR PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS. The swimming champions of New Zealand and Dunedin, Wellington, Wanganui and Taranaki will compete at the New Plymouth combined swimming clubs’ carnival at the Municipal baths tomorrow night. Splendid entries have been received and the class of swimmer engaged is the best that has ever been concentrated in Taranaki. Owing to the large number of entries received in the handicap events the committee deemed it necessary to delete the inter-club relay from the programme. There will be present W. J.
