HOW HE WON.
William Beach, Hsnlan's Conqusrsr.
Tells How He Did It


The recent exploit @of Mr.. William
Beach, leaves no doubt that he is the
handiest man In the world with the
souls. The ease with which he outrowed
his opponent, the supposed invincible
Ned lian!an, shows that in form. stroke,
and muscular development, adapted to
sculing, he has no equal.
Although an Australian by virtue Of
residence, Beach was born in Surrey,
England, in 1851, and removed with his
parents to New South Wales in 1854. lie
was brought up 10 his fathers trade,
and, whilo toiling like young Vulcan In
the smithy, unconsciously developed that
ma. niiicent physique which has since
brought him Worldwide distinction.
When about twenty-three years Of age,
Beach commenced rowing on the llla-
warra Lakes against local competitors,
anu 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
run of two or three miles before break.
fast, a 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
OIL, and then pulls again. A long walk
concludes the day.
"A man uAuCI buCu puyciCoi btIAlu,
even though he be q giant, must often
feel the failure Of his strength to his will,
and, powerful though he be, 1t is not
surprising that Mr.. Beach candidfy 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: II 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, ~ecause 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 u
true 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
q long time before it was wrested from
him.
