SWIMMING CIIASPJOXSUIFS. The Xew Plymouth .School hoys held IliL'if annual swimming champim!ship spoils at 1 lie niiuiicijmi bath.; la*-t night. The evening was bountifully i'm-j, i)iit there was a distinct autumn in the temperature, and the water must have been quite cold enough for the e-on-f.esta nt.s. There was a fail' attendance of the general public. The events were got oil" promptly anil some exciting race.; were Keen. A line display was given by O'Hallorau, who annexed the senior championship, gaining three firsts and a iieeoml place, totalling IS points. He is a clean and graceful swimmer, and his raccess was well deserved. The junior championship fell to Kyngdon, who beat Watkins by two points. The under 11 rears championship was won by Kickard, who was S points ahead of the runnerup. The 220 yards senior championship IVS 9 a good race- There were three starters, but Brown pulled out at the end of the first length, and the race was between O'Hallorau ami .McKay. The two kept abreast for a lime, but McKay, who lias a heavy leg stroke, lint appears to labor a lot. gradually got the lead, Ivhieh he maintained, beat ing his opponent 'by almost live vcards. The long tlive was an interesting event. Two hoys, Orant and Duckcr. did the whole length of the batli without coming; to the surface. In a second attempt Grant had the misfortune to lose his way. lie swam well, hut touched the southern side of the bath instead of the end, and in attempting to swim back crossed to the opposite side, and though his distance was probably greater than Hacker's his failure to reach the end put him out of first place. The awkward entry event caused a lot of amusement, fn the high diving event a very line display was given by each of the three competitors, the performance of the winner (B. Boon) being loudly applauded. At the conclusion of the fporls Mr. I\ A. Schwartz gave an exhibition of fancv diving and swimming. Mr. ,T. Roekcl acted as .judge, Mr- W. 11.

Here is excellent news of a New Plymouth man having found out l>v personal experience that kidney disease can be cured. The great thing in kidney trouble is to take the right medicine at the right time. The right time is on the first appearance of any symptoms of kidney trouble, such as backache, urinary troubles, watery swellings round the ankles or beneath the eyes, or gravel The right thing to take is Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, as this man djd: Mr. T- Stewart, Wafer T.ane, New Plymouth, says: "Doan's Backache Kidney Pills having cured me of a had attack of kidney trouble, from which J had been sud'ering for some lime, it is with every confidence 1 recommend ibis remedy to other sjiH'erers. Before I to"k these Pills my back was always aching, the pain often being very severe. The kidney secretions were also affected, and I used to get those drowsy, tired feelings, usually assoejatpd with kidney complaint. Dizziness wa's ailother symptom that troubled me a good deal- Knowing Tiow I was suffering, friends told me 'about Doan's Backache Kidney Pills and at last 3 made up mv mind to try them. The first bottle relieved me a little, and three bottles cured me completely. That was twelve months ago, and I am still well." Two years later. Mrs. Stewart says: "My husband lias had no return of his old complaint since Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured him three years ago."
