Charlton then took the lead and slowed down, both taking it easily. Charlton had. an 80 yards’ lead at 500 metres, and it was already obvious that lie was not taking the racing seriously, and that it was only a practice swim. Charlton’s 20 yards’ win was very popular, all nations giving calls. It was noticed that Borg, when shaking Charlton’s hand, winked significantly. Beaurepaire beat Taikishi and the younger Borg in the second semi-final. The Japanese led at 600 metres, but Beaurepaire soon drew un, and the trio swam stroke for stroke to 1000 metres. Then Beaurepaire and Taikishi took the lead. The former was ahead at the last lap, and won by. five yards amidst great enthusiasm. Time, 21.41 3-5. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

The event is creating intense interest, and the whole of the seats have been booked up. The first semi-final of the women’s 400 metres swim was most thrilling, the American, Miss Wainwright, beating the Britisher, Miss Molesworth, by inches.
