SWIMMING SPORTS

Hutt Valley Club’s Carnival Excellent aquatic entertainment > was enjoyed by a crowd that packed the Riddiford Baths, Lower Hutt, last evening, when the Hutt Valley Swimming Club carnival was held. One of the highlights of the gathering was the contest for the Fenwick Memorial Shield, donated by the medical practitioners of the Hutt Valley in memory of the late Dr. D. E. Fenwiek, who was formerly president of the club. In presenting the shield to the winning team, Hutt, the president, Mr. A. T. Duncan, said that Mrs. Fenwick, who was in Auckland, had written regretting she was unable to be present, and expressing the hope that the competition for the shield would provide fine sport.
