A FORTY MILE SWIM.
The Standard ander date Dover, August 6th, says After a record swim extending over- fifteen and a quarter hours, daring which he covered about forty miles, Mr. J. Wolfs, the Glasgow swimmer, had to abandon his cross Channel swim early on August 9 when he was within an ace of saccess, Calais being only three quarters of a mile aboad. A fresh south-west wind was making a broken sea over the shallowe during the latter part of the swim, and there was a strong tide, which gave Wolffe a hard battle. The swim was a splendid effort of endurance, and, but for the unfortunate changes in the conditions in the last bour, thore is practically certainty that Wolffe would have achieved bis object.
