K. Spry set a Wellington record for the 100 yards breaststroke, clocking 77 2-ssecs, which 1 3-ssecs. outside the New Zealand record. There were five Wellington centre championships decided, F. Pennington retaining his 440 yards freestyle title, and O. Vaughan his 100 yards intermediate championship . The girls’ 100 yards intermediate honours went to a new champion in Miss C. Alexander, Wellington women’s club, and the 100 yards women s championship was won by Miss W. Pritchard, Hutt, also a new champion, Miss S. Gotlieb, the previous holder, not defending her title. Miss Pritchard, who was swimming in top form, also annexed the women's 60 2-3 yards handicap. , All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy to everybody except his boss.
