A philadelphia Hercules.

Philadelphia can boast of n modern
Hercules in the person Of George Sopt-
man. q giaut in musclcand stature. He
stands 6 feet IL inches in his stock
ings. measures 30 inches around his
chest and weighs 273 pounds, scarcely
an ounce Of which is superiluous flesh.
His proportions are admirable, and he
has amazed many an athletic expert by
his displays Of strength. Soptman
recently paid short visit to u
gymnasium on Arch street and gave
an exhibition Of what he could do.
The pupils eyed him curiously when
he picked up the l00-ponnd dumbbcll
and twirled IL between his fingers as u
dude might do with bamboo cane.
When he stretched out his arms and
asked all who possibly could do so to
Jump on his back, arms, shoulders and
head to take a ride, eight sturdy and
strong men complied with the request.
and holding on to his ears, hair and
colIar-button. they bore their weight
upon him. He carried them without
much difficulty, and the gymnasts who
saw the performance were almost in
cined to think CONTEMPORARY Of their
own puny physiques.
Not satisfied with this the Young
giant went to the strengthening
scales and pulled up the 2,000-pound
weight with ease. He then wrapped
two straps around bis shoulder aud
back, aud fastening the ends to $500
pounds of iron, he calmly raised the
weight aud took a promenade around
the hall with his load. As his last act,
instead of wrestling with a Numeau
lion as Hercules, ofmythological fame,
did, he caught hold Of bear. which
friend had expressly brought, and
Rugged the animal so hard that it,
grunted Tor mercy. Soptman has yet
10 perform seven more difficult tasks,
aud then be win pose himself as a
modern Hercules and the hero Of
twelve unparalleled fe4ts Of strength.
