handsome present from his old frienIs

Courtney is taking great deal about
a new apparatus with which he expects
to row the spots off OF anything that
rows. The only apparatus that Courtney
needs, and which he has lacked all the
time, is plenty of skill, nerve and en-.
durance. A few years ago, in the sim
ge-scull races at Watkins, a doughty
English oarsman, who came in badly
distauced, was asked by spectator in
the grand stand: why didn't You
beat?' The Euglishman replied as he
rowed lelsurely to shore: Because |
didn't row fahst enough" That's the
only trouble with Courtney. He doesn't
row "iahst" enough.
