buried the Ratchet, so to speak. and
in future the members who have been paw
ing for real cold salt water in the swim
ming tank will have their wishes granted.
For several months the Olympic Climb
members had to be satified with warm
salt water. A number of them disliked
bathing in the heated brine, and thew
were continually urging the directors to
make some arrangements with the Olympic
Saltwater Company with view to having
cold water in which to battle occasionally
close at hand.
The secretary of the club, Charles Bos.
worth, had conference with William
Greer Harrison, president of the OLYMPIC
Saltwater Company, yesterday, which
resulted in an agreement to the effect that
henceforth the Olympic Club members
will have a chance for a cold dip on Mon
days, Wednesdays and FRIDAYS of each
week. Mr.. Harrison said that he is at all
times pleased to assist the Olympic Club,
and nothing would give him greater pleas
ure than to acquiesce to its wishes-that
is, so far as supplying the club with either
warm or cold salt water. The bers
who indulge in natatorial sport will doubt
less. appreciate the ex-president's kindness
in this particular.
