Auckland Swimmers’ Carnival at Mt. Eden

FIRST OF THE SEASON GOOD CONTESTS WITNESSED The swimmers of Auckland M^nt b c d , 9 ° od nur "hers at the Mount Eden Baths last evening, for the first carnival of the season given by the Mount Eden Amateur r™T, m T g Club > and provided an excellent series of events. Miss Edna Champion again proved s "°, d * or her opponents and .annexed the 100yds ladies' handicap in great style. Miss D. Magee, who recently returned from Sydney, did not seem to strike form, but swam a good race. Interest centred in the first appearance this season of Gordon Bridson, last year s champion and record intermediate swimmer, but he was handicapped out of the 220yds. although he was only just beaten for third place after a great swim. J. Magee was responsible for an excellent performance in th© 100yds breast-stroke handicap, when he won one second slower t .an the New Zealand intermediate record. The diving was of a high standard, and novelty horse-race was re-sponsible or a great deal of amusement, Te Monanui beating Tresham by a head. The waterpolo match, Mount Eden v. Ponsonby, was quite interesting and resulted in a draw, two goals all. The carnival was put through in excellent manner, and the officials are deserving of every credit in that respect.
