cal Training Demanded.
The defeat of Ned Hanlan by
Teemer at Toronto 10 august indicates
the "end OF the glory" Of the doughty
champion.
ae has sustained his record with adj
mirable pluck and success, but the
tremendous strain Of years of training
must certainly some day find its limit.
Apropos Of this we recall the follow
ing interesting "reminiscences Of aquatic
annals:
On a fine. bright day in August,
1871, an excited multitude of Is, 00e to
10000 persons lined the shores of the
beautiful Kenebecassis, near st. John,
N. B., attracted by four, cared race
between the famous Paris crew of that
city and picked English crew for
$4,000 and the championship of the
world. Wallace Ross, the present re-
nowned oarsman, pulled stroke for the
Blue Nose crew, and stJimn Renforth,
champion sculler and swimmer of Eng
land and OF the world, was stroke in
the English shell.
Excitement was at fever heat.
But three hundred yards of the course
had been covered w1en the English
men noticed that their rivals were
creeping away.
"Give us dozen, Jim, said the vet
eran Harry Kelly, ex-cham pion of Eng
land, who was pulling No. oar.
81 can't, boys, Tn DONE" said Rem
forth, and with these words he fell for
ward, an inanimate heap in the boat.
HE has been poisoned by book-mak-
ers,' was the cry, and belief.
Everything that science and skill
could suggest for his restoration was
tried; but after terrible struggles of
agony, the strong man, the flower of
the athletes and pride Of his country
men, passed away.
The stomach was analysed but no
sign or trace of poison could be found
therein, though genera, examination
showed very strange condition of the
blood and the life-giving and health
preserving organs caused by years of
unwise training. While the muscular
development was perfect the heart and
kidneys were badly congested.
The whole system was, therefore,
in that state when the most simple de-
parture from ordinary living and exer-
ton was Of momentous consequence.
His wonderful strength only made his
dying paroxysms more dreadful and
fatality more certain.
Hanlan is now in Australia. Beach,
champion of that country, is a
powerful fellow, who probably under
stands the liability of athletes to death
from entertaining, the effect thereof
being very serious on the heart, blood
and kidneys, as shown by poor Rem
forth's sudden death.
Within the past thee years he mas
taken particular care of himself, and
when training, always reinforces the
kidneys and prevents blood congestion
in them aud the consequent i'll effect on
the heart by using Warmers safe cure,
the sportsman's universal favorite, and
says he sis astonished at the great
benefit"
Harry Wyatt, the celebrated English
trainer of athletes, who continues him
self to be one of the finest specimens
of manhood and one of the most sue
cessful of trainers, writes over his own
signature to the English Sporting Life,
September 9th, saying: Il consider
Warmers safe cure invaluable for all
training purposes and outdoor exercise.
have been in the habit of using it for
a long time. I am satisfied that it
pulled me through when nothing else
would, and it is always three-time
winnern'
Beach's and WAITS method of train
ing is sound and should be followed by
ali.
