GONVILE CLUB SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL. FIRST OF THE SEASON. Fine weather, excellent water conditions and a satisfactory attendance of the general public on Thursday night combined to make the Gonville Swimming Club’s first carnival of the 1934-35 season a successful affair. Competition was keen in the majority of the events decided and interesting finishes were the order of the evening. In addition to the usual list of “straight” swimming events there were several relay races and three polo matches, the programme thus being of a very diversified nature. The inability of the Hawera polo team to make the trip yesterday robbed the polo competition of much of its interest. Nevertheless, the Gonville B team, which filled the vacancy a.t short notice, gave a very creditable display. Eventually victory rested with the Central team, who defeated Gonville by three goals to two after extra time had been played. Following are the results of the various events:— 33 l-3yds boys’ handicap (under 14 years).—First heat: R. Birch 1, G. Walton scr 2, K. Greener ssec 3. Second heat: C. Parker scr 1, A.
