Breaks Local Records. 
All local swimming records were 
broken last Sunday, when Armond 
H. Souther, night clerk at the Mas- 
conomo house in Manchester, swam 
from Singing beach to the whistling 
buoy at the entrance to Gloucester 
harbor, a distance of 61 miles, in 
three hours nineteen minutes. Sev- 
eral hundred people assembled on 
the beach to see him off for his long 
struggle in the water, starting from 
the float at 10.48 a.m. Conditions 
were particularly favorable, the 
wind being light and sea smooth, the 
temperature of the water being 68 
and the air 70. 
Lawrence Moore and _ Joseph 
Odenthal accompanied the swimmer 
in a dory, Souther making the buoy 
in Gloucester, at 2.07 without ex- 
treme fatigue. Before leaving the 
water he was photographed. South- 
er was taken into the boat and 
brought back to Manchester and on 
his arrival was given a great ova- 
tion. 
The nearest to this record for a 
swimming stunt in local waters was 
made by a Mr. Robinson, a New 
York drummer, three years ago, who 
swam from Singing beach to Mag- 
nolia, a distance of three miles. 
Souther, who is about 25 years old 
and weighs 190 pounds, made an at- 
tempt a year ago to swim from 
Charlestown bridge to Boston lght, 
but was obliged to give up the at- 
tempt at Nix’s Mate.
