REVIEW OF THE SWIMMING SEASON,

As this race for the 100 yards brought the

winning session to a dow, a brief retrospect of the championship may be welcome. On June 30th the one mile was decided in London, and for the fourth time fell to J. A. Jarvin, who on Jnly 14th won the Long Distance race in the Thames, the Half-mile at Southport on July 21. the Quarter-mile Salt Water race at Skegness on Saptember Ist, and

BURY BUSY; NEWCASTLE INVINCIBLE. The forwards of Bury had quité a field day on Saturday, when they whipped such a club us West Bromwich Albion by six goal to one. This is the highest score made by any First League teain this season, and equals their club record in class football. for in November, 1805, Dury defeated Sheffield Wednesday by sis goals to one-their only achievement to compare with last Saturday. In the season of 1806-07 Bary thrashed Falkirk by 9–0, and Stockton by 12-1. but as these teams are not amongst the elite of footbaldon the performancos need not be seriously takes into account. It is very Cup in such form.
