Every Wednesday night during the Summer season, the University Swimming club disports itself at Thorndon Baths at its weekly club night Owing, no doubt, to the splendid weather, and the work of an efficient committee the weekly nights have been the most successful for years, with an average attendance of about forty, good fields in all events, and races to please all tastes from that of the learner to that of the putative Weismuller.

Our Big Night.

The Inter-Faculty Carnival will provide some thrilling races. Besides special handicap events for freshers, two Club Championships will be decided, an Interesting novelty event will be included, and an attractive subsidiary programme has been arranged.

Another unique attraction will be the appearance of Professor Ah Mihk, a Yogi Professor of Occult Science, who will perform a remarkable under-water escape from a sealed and examined sack. This miracle, which rivals the effects of the great Houdin!, is entitled: "A Challenge to Death."

Swimming Carnival.

The date—March 16th; the time—8.15 sharp; the place—Thorndon Baths (off Murphy Street). The admission is only 6d., which includes entry fees for the various races.
