this city the latter part OF September at the
Natatorium. The event will be a memoir
able one, as the famed amateur swimmers
of the largest cities in the country will be
invited TO participate.
Manager Fred Goodwin, of the Pittsburg
Natatorium, yesterday said no expense
would be spared to make the tournament q
success in every sense of the word. There
will be no loophole left for the competitors
to withdraw or refuse to enter, as we shall
pay all railroad expenses, and in addition
to this will offer money prizes that will be
well worth contending for.

Mr.. Goodwin, "1s OF interest to every lover
Of the bath, be he great or small Every
city, town and village boasts of its fastest
swimmer and its longest diver. Now, an
opportunity will be given these local Gel
ebrities, as the races here will be bona fde
and open to all amateurs. The known am-
ateur swimmers of Boston. New York,
Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis will be per-
sonally invited to attend, and a general in
lizhts are less bright The distances will be

mile, with large prizes for those holding first,
second and third places. No professionals

GLOW does Pittsburg stand in comparison
with other cities7'
"Without bombast 1 think Pittsburg will
show up in a creditable manner. There are
some very rapid and good long distance
swimmers in Pittsburg and I think the
severe task to defeat them. There comes to
the natatorium very frequently some anna
teurs whom I would not hesitate an instant
to back against some of the best known
amateurs in the country"
"What date will the tournament begin2"
"That has not yet been decided upon, but
will be able to give it ont in short time.
In the mean time everything will be done to
further the plans, and the result will be a
tournament of no mean pretensions. Pitts
burg swimmers are enthusiastic and will
make q good showing"
