SWIMMING CLUB (“Times-Age” Special.) PRESENTATION OF TROPHIES. ■'■ '■ • •' (Times-Age Special.) -•At a very enjoyable dance held in the Odd Fellows’ Hall on Thursday night, the president of the club, Dr. E. M. Simers, in an appropriate speech, thanked all connected with the club-for their untiring work during the season. He said it would be very difficult to single out anyone for special thanks, because all had worked hard and harmoniously throughout, and had gave of their best to their respective tasks. He also thanked the donors of the very fine array of trophies which were on view.
