SWIMMING.
GISBORNE CLUB’S CARNIVAL.' Great speculation is rife as to which team will prove victorious in the championship relay race at the Gisborne Swimming Club’s carnival on Eriday night. Both the Napier and Gisborne teams are composed of good swimmers, and are training hard to pull off this event. A novelty for Gisborne will be Mr N. McCartney in his famous Monte Christo dive. Mr McCartney is trussed up and placed in a sack covered with cotton waste set fire to and thrown into the water. In an almost .impossible space of time he frees himself under water. Mr McCartney is also a champion breast stroke swimmer, and will give swimming and long diving exhibitions. A crack life saving team is also coming from Napier and will give life-saving exhibitions on Friday night and also on the beach on Sunday afternoon at 2.30 p.m. The programme for Friday night’s carnival is one that is far and away ahead of anythifig Gisborne has yet seen.
