Aged Woman Swam Across Hudson River Last Saturday.

Mrs. Elizabeth Berio, 65 years of age, swam across the Hudson river and along the bank, a distance of 4% miles last Saturday. Her daughter, Kitty, 18 years of age, accompanied her. She was in the water 45 minutes. Mrs. Berio is a swimmer of long experience and the mother of one daughter and nine sons, all of whom were taught to swim by her and all of whom have won cups at swimming carnivals. Mrs. Berio was intent on swimming back after completing the trip, but was restrained from doing so. She said she felt perfectly strong and could make the trip every day jot the week. The tide was against her as she swam. The way the Boston Red Socks are playing ball these days and the fact that they took the series from the Athletics, who have continued their slump by losing a double, header to Cleveland is apt to make a certain Will street fan decide that his judgment was very bad one day recently.
