TO-NIGHT'S SWIMMING

Australians to Appear in Hastings HANDICAPS DECLARED There was no question that the Australian surf team won its way into the hearts Qf the Napier publiq on Sutqrday. Eager to meet any request, they were continually in the water giving partiQularly' pleasing performanees in every branch of swimtmng , activitioa. Hodgson, th'e outstasding member of the team, fi?By lived up to bis reputation as a remarkable swimmer, and there were several who wero but littlo behind him. Although the visitors only drew with Hawke'e Bay in the water-polo match, it ig apparent that the local side will have its work cut out to avert defeat at the Maddison Baths, Hastings, to-night, as the Australians were having their first match togethe?. A splendid game ehouid eventuate. Added interest will be given to tonight 's carnival by the appearanco of E. Simon and Dave Lindsay, of Dannevirke. Hastings still remembers Bill Whareaitu, the Maori sprint swiinmer, but Simon,. also a Maori, with a magniflcent stroke on Saturday in Napier, iswam 56 secoiids for the hundred. Lindsay is evergreen, and on the same mark as Watkins in the furlong de* feated the latter on Saturday, ltesefves are still available for tornignt's grand carnival, handicaps for which are ftf? follow:— 50 yards junior girls. -=» Misses E, King 7 seca, C.
