Gentle Swimmers.

| A New York Herald reporter visite
Miss Benefits swimming-schoOl for la
dies, and devotes considerable space to
an account of his sensations on arriving.
He says:
The tank in which the Misses Bennett
and their picked pupils display their
aquatic accomplishments is 80 feet long
by 20 wide, and runs from to 8 feet in
depth. 1t is constantly supplied with
fresh water, which is turned into it
through countless little jets. At the
time the Herald representative arrived
there were some twenty-five ladies dis
porting in the tank, the chief of whom
were the Misses Bennett, the Misses
Clark and MagOnigife. ft7f5s5 w1r6; III III
fact, all expert swimmers, and they
plunged and hoated and swan around
like very tadpoles, while they looked
like the nymphs of ancient story, save
that those nymphs did not wear Turkish
trousers and sailor shirts. The Misses
Bennett carried the palm for daring and
dexterity. They jumped off of high
places and dived down so far ont of sight
that the reporter thought for a moment
that the Franklin search party would be
obliged to look them up, but finally they
came to the top, spluttering and spout
ing like baby whales. Then they lay
on their backs and foated, laughing and
talking, and enjoying themselves thor
oughly. In fact, every one in the tank
laughed, the water seemed to have such
an exhilarating effect. Any one who
uses his bath-tub full of water will re-
call the sensation that makes him gurgle
in his tub. So impressed were the look
ers-on with the advantages of being able
to swim that d class of eleven young
ladies was formed on. the spot. "You
see," said Miss Kate Bennett, that / am
as much at home in the water as upon
the land; indeed, more so, for here i
hop, skip, and jump about, while ! sim
ply walk quietly along on land" and
with that she slapped the water with her
right hand, then with her left, disap-
peared, and in moment came up at the
other end Of the tank between two
blonde bathers, who gave little shrieks OF
surprise and darted out of her way.
One of the prettest sights during the
exhibition, was the swimming of a foul
year old little girl whom they called
Birdie, but whom they might, with
greater prorriety; have called Fishy
She could swim with the best of them
"1'Come, Birdie, show the ladies how
you can dive" said Miss Bennett, and
without any coaxing, the little thing
mounted the railing, clasped her tiny
hands over her curly head, and
In she plunged boldly,
| No matter how coldly
The eadcn tank looked.
Down went the little head, up went
the little heels, then flip flap went the
little arms, and away swan the brave
child as gracefully and as coolly as a
swan. Miss Bennett caught her in her
wet arms, and squeezed a gallon or two
Of water from her clothes as she pressed
her to her heart III kindly admiration.
Again and again the child repeated the
feat, each time laughing and shouting
in the greatness of her enjoyment. Then
the Misses Bennett gave a few fancy
touches, the 25 nymphs came dripping
from the tank, and the days sport was
over.
