BoarcUnaii covered the distancetin lmin. 56 4-osecs., which was 4 4-5 secs faster than Hill's time. An attempt to lower the existing 25 yards junior girls' free-style record was made by Miss Rona King, but slie failed by one-fifth of a second. ' A > large ' attendance at the baths saw Napier defeafc Dannevirke for the trophy by 74 points to 71. The performances of fhe various competitors was most satisfactory.
