The Swimming Tournament Today.
The swimming tournament at the athing
beach will be held this afternoon at 4:3O
o o'clock, and II the weather continues to be
as warm as 1T has been the sport will be
1ne for the contestants, though it is likely
to have some effect upon the attendance of
the spectators. The main race of the day
will be the 1U0-yard swim for all ages and
considerable speculation grows out of the
outcome. By many 1t is acknowledged that
j. 7. Taylor of Pittsburg, Pa will come
off the winner. He is an excellent swim
mer, and though a new man at the beach
has been IN practice for the tournament for
some days past. Yesterday afternoon he
swan fifty yards, exhibition race, and COW
cred the distance in the remarkably fast
time of 33 seconds. AT this rate he ought
to be able to go the hundred yards in l 10
at the most. which is but few seconds
above the record for that distance.
