Miss Annette KelTbrman said it gave her a great deal of pleasure to be seated at table with the champion diver of New Zealand (Miss Kathleen Bristed) on one hand and the champion swimmer (Miss Gwitha Shand) on the other. She was the more glad to find the sport of swimming patronised in New Zealand by the enlightened classes. As in America and abroad, this was not often the case. She herself had been a delicate child suffering from hip trouble when she first took up swimming, and elie had by its aid become a perfectly developed and healthy woman. She congratulated Miss Bristed and Miss Shand on their potable achievements.
