SWIMMNIG EXTRAORDINARY.

One of the* moat exciting swimming races on record took piaco at the Aston Baths, Birmingham, on the evening of September 17th. when, asthetit-bit of the Westminster Glob's annual gala, the 220 yarda amateur championship was decided. Fop this evenfc, which last year fell to F, 0. V. Lane, of Australia, in the record time of 2min 38£<ee, there were ten ent rants, including the holder, his great rival Bob Derbyshire (who was unable to conr. plet last year owing to Hln?si), R. M'Cabe fof Dublin), Barker (of Birmingham) and Danlelfoi Aston),ail of whom put In an appearance. The first heat brought Laic and Derbyshire together, but a^ the list and second were entitled to lake part in In the final they both loibed alnnj? at their leisure. Lane teaching first in 3min 11 sec. InthebeoondheatM'Oa.be fl »pped along in fronb of Daniel, and won anyhow in 3mid 12§seo. So far the sport had been poor, but the final was exciting en.agh for anyone. No one paid any.at?en|bionto H anything but the t«s«le bet Ween Lane and Derbyshire, who took the water splendidly together, and afc once began feo rase fora'l they were woith. At five-and-twenty yards they were head and head, bat soon Lane began to assert himself, and afc fifty yards Derbyshire was a yard to the bad. At 100y.»rds both were going string, their respective positions beingunchanged So they swam on fo» another fifty, Lane now being a matter of five or six feet In fronb. Then, encouraged by the cheers of his partisuna, Derbyshire commLnced a long, strong sport. Slowly bub surely he pulled up to L^ne, gaining only an inch or so at each stroke. The Australian nw"'e an effort to respond, but it was soon apparent that he had no strength in res erve, and ten yards from home it seemed that Derbyshire would win. He, howevi r had nearly thoc his bulb, and try aa he would he could only "dead heat" the holder. The time was w ;ndorfal—2mln 34|/ieo M'Cabe swam a good stern chase, but was a lone; dozm yards behind the dead heaters, who will hold the cliampianfehip corjjintly for the next twelve months, there being apparently no Jaw to compel them to swim their tie off.

Whilst Line was distinguishing himseif by breaking bU own recod at Birmingham Victor Lindberg, who is billed aa "New Zaiknd Champion," was assisting J. A. Jarvis at the Springburn Baths, Glasgow, in an attempt to set up new figures forthe 500 yards bath record which Tyers made at Stmderland in 1895—namely, 6rafa 45?ec. Lindberg was sent off 30 sec before Jarvla, but was not of much assistance as pacemaker to the champion, who caught him at 250 yards* and won by fifty yards in fimin 45iec, thus equalling Tyei's great performance.

The Flight of Kruger.

If Continental friends of the Boers are anxious to obtain a theme for moral reflections, they might find it in the diverse fate of the Rulers and the ruled. The Reformers, the very men who forsaw the inevitable end of the Krugerite despotism, have paid the penalty which the official clique of Pretoria have, for the most part, escaped. General Joaberfc, the life long rival of Mr Kruger, the adrocate of Uitlander rights, and of friendship with England, has fallen a victim to tbe^coniiicfc which he strove to avert. He gave his life for the lost Cause, and it is distressing to remember that he "knew that the gift was vain." So it must bo with many other brave soldiers who have fallen oa the .battlefield, or are prisoners in 8t Helena or Ceylon, or are wandering, landless outcasts, among the hills, or h pve been engaged in that last grim stand against the victorious legions of Buller and Fbehch. To rhe bitterness of defeat Ib added the mournful knowledge that the sacsifice of their country's d early prized nid< pendence was needless, and would never have been required but for the blind perversity find short-sighted cunning of the selfish old patriarch of Pretoria, with his train of State Secretaries, and imported Attorneys, and greedy Hol lander officials. Meanwhile the prime cause of alt thia ruin, with a selected assortment of hia retainers, sits com fortably under neutral protection, pre paring to rej in the gold which has been thoughtfully senfc on to Europe in advance. It can only be hoped that the process of disillusionment which has been developing, is now nearly complete. The desertion of Mr Kroger must surply have opened the eyes of many Burghers, and disgusted others. They cannot help seeing that the Old Order has fallen beyond redemption 'when the man who stood for its symbol has abandoned the country in despair, and Bought personal safety in running away. The most reputable of our foreign contem poraries, even those of Boer sympathies can take no other view of the situation. They point ont that the flight of Mr Kruger should be deemed a formal acknowledgment of the complete defeat of the Republicans. In fact, as the Vienna semi official journal says, res finita est so far as the Republic of South Africa is concerned. When the cap lain of a sbip leaves his quarter deck and strikes his colours, the action is over, or should be, and nothing remains for the crew but submission to their conquerors.—London Standard.

The Swiftest Vessel Afloat

The highest speed ever attained by a steamer has juafcbeen recorded by the Viper, a torpedo boat destroyer of 380 tona, built to the order of the Admir alty. This swift torpedo boat destroyer is the invention of the Honourable Oharlfs A Parsons, who bad already presaged his great triumph by the then unique performance of the Turbinia some years t*go. The trial was made over the measured mile off the mouth of the Tyne. In her first run the Viper cover »d the measured mile at the rate of 36 585 knots ; in the next run her epaed was only 35*503 knots ; her highest rate was 87*113 knots, or forty three miles an hour, a speed at which cn)y express trains travel
