is held every June and the coming meet

disinfectant and repainted and vanished
Loose planks have been replaced by solid
ones and the lockers have been cleaned.
In past meets. the housing of the men
while the meet is on has been the diff

hope to solve this successfully by giving
each contestant an individual locker with
paddock and key. 1t is planned to have
all the lockers OF one team together so that
the men will not be scattered. The main
Floor OF the armory will probably be used
for a resting and reading room

some time. A trial pit OF ground cork
has been prepared and IL II tests satisfac-
torily the old pit will be replaced by one
