Shanghai, and SaplemBar, The first series of events of the Interport Seisming Carnival, beli noder the auspices of the Shanghai International Swimming Club, was held at the Municipal Pablic Bath fast evening. There was a very laŋgo gathering of spectators and great credit is due to the officials of the Clab for the manner in which they mana- ged to accommodate so large a crowd in the fimhed space at their disposal. An interest ing programme had been arranged, which included two Interport competitions agalust Hongkong-co Yards Race and Long Plunge Competition-wall as the Two Lengths Teim | Face for the China Weekly" Cop, the Two Handied Yards Race for the "Victor Challen-
Cup, and the Neat. Diving Competition for the "Lusitano" Challenge Oup ; and the pro- gramme itself was very neally designed. The majority of the competitions were splendidly cotte.ted, but owing to the fate hour at which the proceedings came to a close, we are able to give.poly a brief summary of the results,
