SWIMMING.
Bearepaire Suspended. The Scottish Amateur Swimming Association lias suspended F. E. Beaurepaire, the Victorian swimming champion, for failing to fulfil his fixture with Taylor at Edinburgh, when the Victorian was in Scotland last year. F. Beaurepairc, the young Victorian champion, went to Edinburgh to race Taylor, the English champion, but though he attended at the baths, he refused at the last moment to compete in the match, greatly to the disgust of the large crowd of spectators who had assembled. His disqualification by the Scottish Union will, under the reciprocity agreement, apply in Australia, and until it is lifted he will be unable to race in next season’s championships.
