SCHOOL SWIMMING
THE ANNUAL SPORTS GOOD TIMES RECORDED The high standard of the swimming of the young people of Cambridge was shown at the annual sports of the school on Tuesday afternoon, when many fast times were recorded. Practically all the children swam with good style, and the new headmaster, Mr T. Kane, was agreeably surprised with the efforts of the competitors. The championships were keenly contested, the best effort being that of J. Fell, a first-year pupil at the High School, who won the secondary boys' title.
