Great Swimmins-Feat by u Girl.
London Echo.

London Echo.
Miss Beckwith has succeeded in
swimming from the Old Bridge at Chel.
sea to Greenwich Point. Large crowds
had gathered to see the start, and
when, a few minutes after 3, she lean.
ed from waterman's boat into the
river, she was loudly cheered.
There was fair breeze, which made
the river rather bumpy, but the force
of the ebb.tide was all in her favor
With gentle breast stroke the young
swimmer, with every encouragement
from the curious public, proceeded
on her arduous feat. A pilot in a
small boat, in which were her father
and brother, the latter ready to iump
to the aid of his sister in the event of
an emergency, led the way. She swan
close to its stern, and kept that posi-.
ton more or less during the Whole of
her task. About ten minutes after
starting she placed a straw hat on her
head. but as soon as the sun became
obscured by clouds she threw it to her
father and never had occasion to use
it again. A crowd, composed of many
hundreds, had followed her from Chel.
sea along the embankment, and at Bat.
tersea suspension bridge, it became
greatly augmented by larger crowds,
though the elimination in the number
of spectators was reached at West
minister bridge. Vauxhall bridge was
reached in thirty-four minutes. When
she had passed under it she several
times passed her body through hoop
"a feat which elected special cheer.

In sailing cheese in the curds, care
should be taken to have the salt free

At Westminster the sight of an i'm
mense p0pulace on the bridge was OF
itself remarkable. But in addition
the Albert Embankment seemed to be
equally crowded, and, on passing
under the bridge, the Victoria En-.
bankment, rs far as the eye could
reach, was densely thronged. In sew
enty minutes Miss Beckwith had reach
ed Blackfriars Bridge. and from this
point to the end of the course specta-
tors appeared ON masts, crowded
wharf.windows, and occupied every
available position. So far the young
swimmer had displayed not the least
fatigue. She proceeded with the ease
of skilled swimmer. while the dis
lance had not impaired the remarka-
BILE grace of her style. London Bridge.
crowded, of course, was passed in one
hour and twenty-five minutes. The
boats, after this, became more unruly
than ever, and on several occasions
Miss Beckwith was nearly struck on
the head with their bows. Opposite
.Greenwich Pier Miss Beckwith, at
5:55, was taken on board the Volun.
teer, having swan the 10 miles in two
hours and forty.six minutes. During
the time she was in the water she de.
clined all offers of refreshments, and
when she appeared on board the steam
boat she was apparently as fresh and
sprightly as when first she came out OF
her cabin at Chelsea.
