Swimming.

Last Wednesday evening the Swimming club held their annual Carnival at Thorndon Baths. A rather disappointing crowd, consisting mainly of competitors, was present but nevertheless there were some good races and altogether an enjoyable evening's entertainment. This carnival serves as a finale to the club's year, and also as a means of bringing to light members of future teams.

During the las few weeks regular trials have been held with a view to the final selection of the Tournament team. In all, some ten races have been held over the distances in the Tournament programme. In these races Mason showed superiority in the sprints and King in the distances. Meek was obviously the best of the breaststroke "eligibles." As a result the team for Easter is as follows:—

Freestyle.— 100 yards and 220 yards, Mason. 100 yards and 440 yards, King. 220 yards and 440 yards, Archibald.

Breaststroke.— 220 Yards, Meek. In the women's events the representatives will be Miss Pilcher, 50 and 100 yards freestyle; and Miss Sanders, 100 yards breaststroke.

It is hard at this stage to judge the merits of the team but with Symes of O.U. unavailable, V.U.C.'s chances will be raised. The races will be held in Thorndon Baths and as the other Colleges have tepid baths available for training, the home course will be a definite advantage. Meek, who was second last year in the breaststroke will be a hard man to beat. Carlyon, the logical choice as second string in all events, is unavailable.
