R3,Ssxxa Beach, Hanlan's CongueroE
Tells How He Did IL.

Fhe reeeRt exploit .of Mr.. William
Eseeh, leaves no. doubt that he il the
Saaidiest man in the world with the
ysslls. The ease with which he outrowed
elfs opponent, the supposed invincibie
Ned Hanlan, shows that in form. stroke,
and muscular development, adapted TO
seslliing, lie has no equal.
Although an Australian by virtue OF
residence, Beach was born in Surrey,
England, in leji, and removed with his
parents to New South Wales in 1854. He
was brought up to his fathers trade,
and, while toiling like young Vulcan in
abe smithy, uncolsciously developed that
magnificent physique which has since
brought him worldwide distinction.
When about twenty-three years OF age,
Beach commenced rowing on the lila
warra Lakes against local competitors,
and from the outset kept winning until
gradually handicapped out of all races.
Following are his chief aquatic perform

Mr.. Beach's system of training includes
a run of two or three miles before break
fast, walk Of six or seven miles after
wards, and pull over the course. After
dinner comes another two mile walk and
a second pull over the course, during
which he rows himself right out, eases
of, and then pulls again. A long walk
concludes the day.
A man under such physical strain,
even though he be giant, must often
feel the failure of his strength to his will,
and, powerful though he be, it is not
surprising that Mr.. Beach candidly states
that during his training, previous to
meeting Edward Hanlan the second
time for the worlds championship, his
trainer bought for him Warmers safe
cure and he says: ri was agreeably
astonished at the great benefit which
followed its use." While in training he
finds this the best possible aid to COM
mand Of all his natural powers, because
it does not first goad and afterwards
weaken the system, but acts in perfect
harmony with natures laws.
Mr.. Beach's experience is confirmed
by the experience of many thousands OF
athletes all over the world. Under the
great physical strain they break down
and die prematurely, because they have
not been able to keep disease away from
their kidneys and liver, whence most
diseases originate. Mr.. Beach recog-
nizes this necessity, and has sagacity
enough to use the only scientific specific
for that purpose. He has not only the
prestige of victory, but the prestige of
arue scientific method of training and
keeping up his wonderful physical con-
dition. II he did not voluntarily give up
the championship, it would no doubt be
8 loag time before it was wrested from
him
