use of the arms but in the use of the legs. 1t
is natural for every one to paddle with the
arms in the water, and this padding motion
is all that is necessary, although there are of
course, different degrees of grace displayed.
But the difficulty is in the leg stroke. When
a novice is learning to swim he first strikes
out with his arm, and then follows with
spasmodic kick with the legs, at the same time
swallowing large mouthfuls of water, as if he
would get rid of it by swallowing it.
Now the cause of this is that at the start
his legs are not drawn up close to his body.
He is so afraid of sinking that he doesn't dare
to keep still long enough to draw them up,
and yet this is the first thing to be done.
Then when he does kick, he kicks like mule,
straight out. He pushes against the water
with the bottoms of his feet, whereas he
should push against the water with the tops
Try this motion out of the water by standing
on one foot and kicking with the other Say
that you stand on your left foot. Now draw
up your right foot, keeping your toe as far
back as possible, pushing it out SO that the
line from your knee to the tip of your toe
will be as straight as it can be made.
Now kick, but make no motion from back
to front, and at the same time out from the
side, so that you will strike, not with the sole
of your foot, but with the instep By study
ing the philosophy of this motion, it will be
plain why the whole front of the leg, and es-
pecially the web part of the foot, is such a
valuable assistant in propelling the body.
Perhaps a better illustration of this move
ment is in swimming on the back. Lying
fiat on the water, you draw up your legs and
while they are drawn up, push the toes down
as far as possible. Then, in making the
stroke, you describe a semi circle outward and
upward toward the surface of the water.
Study the accompanying illustration, and
you will see how the stroke is made. To
many, swimming, like waltzing, comes 'all
at once, and nothing first" so don't be
discouraged if you fail the first time, after
making unavailing efforts to gulp down a
river, bay or an ocean.

all the jimpiness of mold and grandeur

ordinary perfection of parts and that
marvellous power of constitution which
are so rarely equalled in any other fami-

not only by his present owner, but by
scores of the citizens of Galesburg and
the region round about. His sons and
daughters are almost "like unto grass
hoppers for number" in that quarter of
the State; yet among the entire host it is
impossible to find one that is poor or in
different, or that cannot at once be iden-
titled in conformation and appearance
with the proud clan to which it belongs.
Never were foals more like their sire, or
like one another. A royal head and neck

THE BREEDING OF WARRIOR.

JOSEPH BATTELL, Esq,
Dear Sr:-In answer to yours OF the
18th (enclosed) would say that Warrior
was sired by Big Leg Warrior, and he by
Royal George CO.. The dam was FOX
Hunter mare, running bred; she could
trot quite fast. Big Leg Warrior also
sired the horse Bill Mclaughlin, Fantinl
and others that could trot fast. Warrior
has a record of 30, but could trot hall
mile, and did do so, in ;06. For short
distance think he was the fastest horse
of his day. He was black in color and
stood II hands high. He was bred by
John Lutz or Lutes, of New Baltimore
Mich. At the time | made the mattel
with him he was owned by w. G. Dun
can of Detroit, Mich. (now deceased).
Yours truly.

The latter easily captured three heats in

Boy is by Flying Cloud, Jr., son of Flying
Cloud by Vermont Black Hawk.
Up to the time of going to press Mr.
Balch had received the grand number of
sixteen entries for the National $4,000
Stallion race. This makes a large field
of starters and grand race certainty.
As the subscriptions are transferable, it
is likely that the number making final
payments will not fall short of a good
round dozen. The horse that can win
the race in such a field will deserve all
the money and glory he wins. The nom
inators are Col. II. L. Russell, Milton,

We can't guess what horses the other
nominators may mean, and before the
day of naming arrives some lively chang
ing about is likely to take place. Browns
chances from present outlook would
seem to be fully as rosy as any.

There will be sharp competition for the Berkshire Hills Summer travel, this season, between the Housatonic, New York Central and Boston and Albany roads. It is said that the Central will run trains from New York to the famous Summer resorts in three hours, but scarcely any stops will be made. On the other hand, the Housatonic will redouble it's efforts to retain the popularity it has gained by it's route from New York to Pittsfield and will run it's limited express trains on quicker time than ever. Rumor says that they will be put on the road about the 18th and that the up train will leave on No. 15's time. 30, while l5 is put back to Its old schedule, an hour later; the opposite train will probably run on its old time, connecting with the 30 train for New York.
