NEW YORK, Dec. ga greater novelty
than a swimming match in the bay on
Christmas day could not well be con-
ceived, and hundreds went down to Fort
Hamilton Sunday afternoon, where the
unique event was advertised to take place.
At O'Clock, the hour specified the con-
testants were ready but the tide was tardy
in its advance, and it was fully o'clock
before Frank Blangley pronounced every
thing in readiness. The competitors were
simply required to walk out to the end of
the 250-yard pier, plunge on getting the
word and make the best of their way back
to point on the beach directly beneath

Description of the Swim.
There was little enthusiasm about that
shivering procession AS it crawled over the
frozen snow to the head of the wind-swept
pier. Paul Adamsky weakened and re-
traced his steps, sadder and colder man.
The others reached the water together and
kept close order for little distance After
fifty yards Gumsky drew rapidly away.
He got in an easy winner by over 10 seconds
in minutes and 10 seconds. Won Stoll
held second place until 10 yards from home,
when he became helpless, and Steward,
seeing this, sprang to his feet in the shoal
water an d actually sprinted into second
place. Won Andrea finished close fourth
