A CHANCE FOR SWIMMERS
Prizes to Be Offered for Contests
at the Bathing Beach.
Opportunity for Local Experts In
About Three Weeks TO WIN
Medals in Four Events.

1t will no doubt please ali lovers OF aquat-
les to learn that movement is on foot
to have "A series OF swimming races at the
bathing beach In the near future
There has hardly been a summer dur
ing the past decade In this city that has
not had It's swimming contests, dffOrding
opportunlties for young men to vie with
each other in friendly struggle for the
championship Of the District.
There has been little or nothing accom-
pltshed in the matter of arrangements as
yet.
Mr.. Stevens, who has had charge or
many of the former races, finds that he
cannot take it upon himself to make all
the arrangements for the matches for the
reason that he is too busily engaged at
present, but he has frequently signified
his Willingness to render any assistance
to those who are now working for the
competition.
Several prominent business have prom
iseu to ai1 the promoters of the proposed
contest ny donating medals for several OF
the events. 1t is hoped to have the races
take place within the next three weeks,
and IL the local swimmers will only get
together and help make success OF the
affair all arrangements for the same Will
soon matenaliZe.
As is usual in such, ,ontests, there will
be five events namely: 00-yard race, long
distance swimming unter water, fancy
diving, plain diving and novice race.
