AQUATIC CHAMPIONSHIPS

Keenest Competition Expected In All Races

Colony Titles

For Colony

(By "Ripplo")

INTEREST OF SWIMMERS this month will be centred not on any particular gala but on the Colony Championships that will take place on September 25, 26 and 28. And from the series of successful galas that have been held by respec- tive Clubs during the season it is very apparent from the spectators' point of view that in few of the events will there be anything like a walk-over for any competitor.

The only events in which one may, I think, make any sort of forecast are the breast-stroke and the back-stroke. There is yet a local swimmer to come over the horizon to
