The long programme— 12,000 feet—has boon 'f.pontanoously given by the local managers of the 'various film firms, who placed their stocks unreservedly at the disposal of the organiaors. The proceeds of this unique enterprise are to be t'evotod entirely to a fund for tho free tuition of children in t'.ie healthy and necessary art of swimming. The money will be administered by an approved committee publicly appointed. In the multitude of calls upon the public Durae this will no doubt earn a strong measure of patronago, for, thanks to the film companies, the Press, and the urofession, toinothing is being offered literally for nothing.
