Unfortunately she fouled a rope near the finish, or otherwise her time would l have been even bettei. She also ; equalled the Canterbury record of 32sec : in the 50yds. The men's mile championrhip resulted in an easy win for C. Cliff, who outdistanced the field. C. Roscoe clipped 4 4-ssec off the Canterbury record for the 75vds junior breaststroke, unpaced, as he was the only starter. All the handicap events attracted good entries and the racing was very keen.
