Beneath the canopy of deep, dark,
purple sky from which shone a yonug
moon and twinkled bright stars was
a tank filled with water Of such
crystal cleaness as to appear empty,
about and above which there rose,
tier upon tier, like solid banks men
and women, boy and girl, spectators
to the number of 1900. Such was the
scene at Puunene Saturday evening
at the first All-Maui Swimming meet
staged by the Athletic Committee of
the Maui County Fair and Racing AS
sociation. On platform at the maui
ka end were officials and waiting COM
peLtOrS, the latter Shrouded in bath
robes or kimonos. The sight itself
was full OF charm and attraction and
there followed % three events, some
producing spirited contests and close,
exciting finishes, some full of humor
and comedy.
From every point of view the swim
ming carnival was a splendid success.
Every reserved seat was taken, all
the free seats and vailable standing
room taken and not all of those who
desired to secure ladmittance were
able to do so. No records were
broken, it was not expected there
would be, but three Olympic stars
were there, something to take pride
in where community is no larger

meet been better staged nor have the
events been run off with such promp-
titude, there were no eXasperating
waits or delays.

They're Off!
President Frank Baldwin started

of age and little Conrad Barrus sprint
ed away with the event in fine shape.
From then on c. l.. Bowker handled

of Paia; time 1:22R.
Some of the spectators failed TO un-
derstand the reasons of the judges

Puunene - had performed a one
and a half forward dive, very difficult
and more ambitious than any under
taking by her competitors and for it
she received a preponderating num-
ber of points. Miss Freeland was
