Hirdning reached the bank first, panting for breath, with his Australian friend a close second. Angus McLeod, the foreman, who was referee, had great difficulty in coming to the conelusion who was the best swimmer, but finally awarded the prize to Mr. Hird. ning. The prize was a beautiful suit of silk underwear. This beats the California native son climate. It has been whis- pered around camp that Mr. Hird- ning mistook the pond for the Sutro Baths in San Francisco. It is said by some of the boys on the works that others may fol- low Mr. Hirdning’s example and go in for swimming honers.
