connection tha. there is a curious fact
which has long been known 10 all oars

waist hollows in, his STAYING powers
are nearly always poor. but when his
waist curves out he is all right. ANY
training which chaIs-es a fellows con-
dition from the latter to the former is
therefore very Objectionable.
This Is the reason why oarsmen are
so much healthier than they used to be-
They are also better appreciated in
every respect. On the stage George
Hosmer has been a drawing star for
two seasons now, and promises TO
remain so as long as he stays upon the
boards. Courtney and a dozen others
