Cincinnati should not come to the from
and be represented at the various regattas
in the Vast,
Courtney's splendid achievements at tn,
oar previous to his defeat at Lachine hat
caused his admirers to believe him inyinci
BILE; hence many of them turned bitter
upon him when he was defeated bv Han
lam and veheniently asserted that the race
was sold" The Canadians subsequent
victories have entirely dissipa' ed this cruel
suspicion, and it is now to be hoped that
Courtney will reconsider his determination
to abandon the aquatic arena. His success
over Riley at Silver Lake yesterday shows
him to be the one man who Is int to be

again there won't be so much reckless con-
fidence among the hackers of either con-

1t has long been theory among sporting
men that a horse could trot or run about
so many races; that pedestrian could 90
about SO many miles, and that when these
were done he was done. In other words, a
mans frame is capable of Just about SO
much exertion. Moderately used it is suf-
ficient to carry him through comfortably
to old age. Used in excess, it breaks him
down within a limited period. In other
phrase, a man is capable OF many ordinary
efforts, but of only few supreme ones.
The phenomenal performance of Weston
i'll the Ashley belt tourney will 60 far
towards sending this theory flying tupsy-
turvy. By all the ordinarily received laws
OF athletics he was the very last man to
look to for such a thing. In short, he was
considered an old, walked-out hack, for
whom there was nothing but defeat in a
contest with such men as Blower" Brown,
John Ennis and Charles Rowel. He had
been professional tramp for twenty years,
and if there is limit to human endurance
1t seemed that he must have reached it,
Moreover he had the reputation of IA loser,
and the man vino could haye foreseen the
outcome from the beginning might have
made barrel of money with handful. 1t
was only last April, when BLOWER" Brown
covered 542 SIG miles in l40H hours, that
the record keepers were compelled to revise
their best performances at long distances and
now Weston has put them to the necessity
OF a revision.
