A Constitutional Walk.

Few people walk enough in winter
yet it is precisely at that season which
people Of close scdentary habits should
walk. How grateful the crisp air is to
he lungs. How clear and sweet ii is to
the noStrils, How it inspires and sus.
tainS one in swinging gait of four or
five miles in an hour, How the cheeks
glow and the eyes shine, and the mus
cles tinglc with delightful vigor, after
such walk through the winter sunshine.
A slcigh-ride is not half 50 good, for il
robs the trip Of the necessary exercise.
Try it, if you would seek health aud
strength.
Winter walking, as a "ncrvnc," is a
million times better than medicine, and
for the complexion it is worth u whole
harbOr full of lotions and washes. II
will put an edge on appetite that you
can't buy at the Doctors, and in prompt
ing digestion is better than corner drug
stores entire stock of bitters and pills.
If you have never tried it, take walk
Keep your mouth closed, your shoulders
well thrown back, your head up, and re-
member that your lcgs-and especially
your hips-were given you to walk with.
Some people walk with their knees,
bodies and shouldcrs-and no wonder
they don't like it. We don't like to see
them. There is an art in walking, as in
other things, lfyou don't believe it,
observe the motion Of some shapcly wo-
man who knows how to move, or study
the gait of the man who has some spring
and lithcncSs in him. 1t is never too
late to learn to walk by walking.

AQUATIC.
Portland and Halifax oarsmen.

Before leaving for Halifax on Friday even
ing last, Mr.. William Spellman, who repre-
sented the interests of the Halifax Rowing AS
ISOLATION with Hamm and Conley, said that
Conley was not well while in Boston, and that
Hamm was fairly beaten by Lee. OF course the
misfortune of the Halifax scullers had, he said
to some extent disheartened the people lat
home, but he had not lost ,confdencein the
men, and would not lose confidence unless af-
ter fair trial under fair conditions, they prove
unequal to the rating which had been given
them. Speaking of the talked-of races be
tween Halifax and Portland, he gave the i'm
preston that he thought the proposed match
fell through because both sides were too ex act
ing. He considered Mr.. Davis of Portland
the best engineer" in everything concerning
boating the world knows to-day, and negotiat-
ing with him, he said, was like trying to do
business with skillful and experienced imam
cier.
What do you mean by engineer asked

Inc Ideas are not his own. Hanlan depends
on other people for boating and riggi ng him;
Davis doesn't. He knows as much as anybody
about the business, and a great deal more than
many who think they know all about it. Well,
was going to say that negotiations with Mr..
Davis ought not TO be made in hurry. AT
least we thought So"
"Are you still willing to make the races with
Davis and Kennedy" asked mutual friend
of the Portland and Halifax gentlemen.
We are still prepared to make the double
scull race" he answered, 'sand only the double.
We will make it for ST. COO side-not more
than that; and we will make that match on
our courage If necessary, l will make de-
post now"
Some one suggested that the amount of
stakes proposed was not sufficient to induce
Davis and Kennedy to prepare for and go to
the expense that race would entail, and then
the subject was dropped,
Wallace Ross has returned to st. John, and
it is doubtful if he will go to England. He
reasons very sensibly that IF Laycock has gone
to Australia there will be no one left to chal-
lenge him or accept challenge from him, and
that consequently his journey would be with
out pleasure or profit
The Halifax Rowing Association has deter
mined to send Hamm and Conley to the Lake
Maranacook regatta when it occurs, the dates
not yet having been fixed The Halifax scull-
ers will row in single and double SOULS. In all
probability they will meet worthy foemen
