SWIMMING,

SWIMMING MATCH IN THE SERPENTINE.

An interesting race took place across the Serpentine and
back on Wednesday evening, between a few lovers of the
art in which Leander was so proficient. As in the case of
that famous swimmer, the object of each competitor was
to gratify the girl of his choice, the match being for a
"sweetheart's prize"—an elegant gold necklet and locket,
presented by the London Swimming Club. Some of the
most expert members of this society entered, and were han-
dicapped according to their proficiency by Mr Payton, the
secretary. Evens, the tallest and strongest looking of all—a
fine young man, over six feet high—plunged in first, and
after swimming about 15 yards was followed by a short,
slim comrade, named Bartlett, who showed his skill by
rapidly overtaking and passing his opponent, when half
away across. Ploughing their way swiftly after them wore
the rest of the competitors, who left the starting point
thus :—Fry, two or three seconds after Bartlett ; Stuart
next, anel the best swimmers, Jones and Williams, last.
When about four minutes had elapsed from the time Evans
started, Bartlett was seen to reach the opposite shore first,
and to plunge in again for the return journey. His rivals
being by this time close behind him, the race became ex-
citing to the hundreds who awaited the result. Encouraged
to fresh exertion, the competitors persevered, swimming in
the most plucky style. The rear division in vain tried their
utmost to pass young Bartlett. Putting on a final spurt,
amid enthusiastic cheers, he arrived first at the south bank,
and was declared winner of the " Sweetheart's priz3." Fry
came in second, and was immediately followed by Jones,
Williams, Stuart, and, though last not least, Evans. A
few of those adepts, as well as about 50 other amateurs, are
to swim this (Friday) evening for the One-mile Amateur
Champion's Cup, given by the proprietor of the Sporting
Pilot. The course for the race is to be a mile in the Thames,
from the Dung wharf to Putney aqueduct. A steamboat
(from which the men are to start) will leave London-bridge
at half-past 4, and will call at all the piers up to Putney.
