on land, are not immune from spoila-
ton by those who prowl about for
gain in defiance Of law and the rights
of men. The launch of William L.
Woodward, the Marie. was entered
stolen. The sloop Freelance. lying off
the same dock and belonging to

Look for the silver trophy cup to be
awarded the first District man across the
line in the bridge to bridge swim next

Like father. like son, proves true in
the case of Reg. Rutherford's youngster,
who is getting his first lessons in SWIM
ming in the same year he learned to
walk He likes the game so well that 1t
Is an awful job to take him out of the
water.
