Five days afterward came a sudden thaw. From ice into water turned many a stream-including the Serpentine, that storied streamlet of Hyde Park, London, in which swam Peter Pan. Thus, it became possible to hold last week, the famous 110-yard Serpentine Swimming Race which is sponsored each year by Sir James Matthew Barrie.
