The swimming display and sports organised by the life-saving guards of the Salvation Army, which were held in the Municipal Swimming Baths On Saturday night, proved highly successful. This meeting is an innovation so far as the local branch of the Army is concerned, but the success of the first one will pVobably lead to its institution as an annual event.
