It is unfortunate that the half mile is being held so early in the programme as there are several swimmers taking part in both this event and the 220 yards, to be run off later. Z. K. Loh, by virtue of winning the 880 yards last year is the favourite, but dark horses in Jack Lumsdaine and Lamb should give him considerable worry. Lumsdaine will provide the spectators with something new in the method of swimming a long distance event, and there are a good many who consider he wil win, while Lamb is a young swimmer of promise who is expected to put up good time.
