Ena Still Can Go Fast

FORM TELLS

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Wellington Rep.) No doubt about it. Miss Ena Stockley is New Zealand's best flier over the short and snappy distances.

CHE proved it again at the national championship meeting here on Saturday, when she beat .Miss Kathleen Miller by two feet, although the time was by no means sensational.

Considering the standard time is 69 seconds for the hundred, and that Ena Stockley has the comparatively good time of 65 3/5 alongside her name, the clocking of 68 seconds alongside her performance on Saturday doesn't excite one to contribute a column to her press clippings.

/ At the fifty yards turn, the winner was half a yard ahead of the others. At 75yds Miss Miller's crawl developed into a gallop, and it looked ns though they might make a dead-heat of it.

Then Miss Stockley commenced one of her last-minute sprints and shot ahead, with. Miss Miller a couple of feet behind at the finish, and Miss Grant, from Auckland, who swam vice Miss Magee, clambering over the third rung .iust a little way ahead of. Miss Stratton, of Wanganui.
