The Big Fellow Tells How AIan Should

Though John I, Sullivan has not taken the
best of caro- of his own health, there are few
people who know how to do it better than
he, or do do it either when be is not iadulgi1G
in the ardent, says The New York Dramatic
News and Sporting Age. Not long ago a
friend said to him: John, there ere lots of
people who are not fighters or athletes, men
who are clerks or in other seIentary posi-
tons, who would like to know how to 'coadi-
ton themselves in the spring. What ought
they to do?'
In the FIRST place." he answered, "they
ought to set apart fifteen minutes to half an
hour for exercise. More than half Of them
lie a-bed until the last moment possible every
morning, then jump up, dress in hurry, so
right to the breakfast table, and then wonder
why they have no appetite and feel dull and
stupid. The human stomach was not made
to be treated that way. a man should, after
getting up il the morning, take q ten min
utes' brisk walk, if the weather is suitable,
or, if that is not convenient, use light pair
Of dumb bells for three or four minutes, 50 as
to bring out slight pcrspiration. Then he
should rub himself dry with a coarse towel,
and after that take a sponge or towel bath.
Then after he has dried himself thoroughly,
be should rub and slap himself briskly to
arouse the electricity in his system and set
the blood in lively circulation Then let him
dress himself in his business suit and go to
the table and e2t couple Of poached eggs on
toast, a nice bit of steak with bread and
coffee, and he will be fit for his days work.
My word for it he will want no other tonic
for his dinner. Should he need laxative
there is nothing better than plenty of fruit.

The second story contains the gymnasium,
which occupies the easterly hall of the build
ing. 1t is the largest in the country, being
IS by 1877 feet. Part of it in the front is to be
used as boxing and wrestling room, inclosed
with movable curtains. Excepting these rooms
the gymnasium is two stories in height, run
ming to the roof In it is a running track
At its rear is fencing room.
This floor has also general reception room
and main hall.
The third story hes billiard and card
room, reading room, directors room and hall
The running track of the gymnasium, with
21H laps to the mile, is on level with the
third floor.
In the attic, to the rear, is laundry and
ironing and mending rooms. The front part
Of the attic will be left unfinished, which has
ample space for private fencing and boxing
rooms.
The roof has running track, with fifteen
laps to the mile. 1t runs around nearly the
entire outer circumference of the building,
is open to the sky and protected on the sides
by high rail.
The light well, or recess above the swim
ming bath, is treated as . conservatory, being
covered in by one large sllylight above.
The building will be on Post street, near
Taylor. From the description here given it
will be seen that San Francisco does not pro-
pose to DO behindhand in athletics. The

cises that are practiced now which, although
considered modern inventions, were in a
different form in use among tho ancients.
Even lawn tennis, the most fashionable of
them all, and the one which more than any
other seems to have taken permanent hold
ON the people Of this country, appears to be
merely a variation of form of ball played
by the Romans one great difference being
that with them the ball had always to be re-
turned before it struck the ground-in fact,
''volIeyed" There is no very definite de-
scription of it, but it would seem that, al
though there was no actual net as now, there
was practically an imaginary one; and at
the present time the Italians play game
called pallone that is probably derived from
the same source.
Further, contest that within the last few
years has had place in the programme of
most athletic meetings is even more directly
one in which the ancients took part. The
tug of war" is quite modern institution,
but is very nearly the same as Grecian trial
of strength, which appears to have been
arranged in two ways, in one of which the
only difference between it and the present
tug Of war" is that fewer persons took part
in it, and that they stood up instead of partly
sitting as they do now. In the other the rope
was passed over an upper branch of 4 tree, or
through hole in high post, and the COM
petitors took hold of the rope, with their
backs to the tree, and tried to pull up the OPP
posite side.
BOXING.
OF course there is absolutely no means of
judging of the relative powers of the ancients
and the moderns in the noble art of self
defense" That the ancients, especially the
Greeks, did box, and that most savagely, we
know. So far from using gloves to lessen the
damaging effects of their blows, or even from
using simply the power that nature and train
ing had given to their bare fists, they in
creased this by tying strips OF hard bulls hide
round them when clinched, and sometimes
even attached nails and lead buckles to these
to make their blows more deadly. They also
usually, but not always, fought continuously
until one of the combatants gave in, rounds"
apparently not being to their taste. But
although there seems to have been this saw
agery about the contests, it by no means fol-
lows that scientific boxer" of the present
day would not be able to hold his own in one,
if a trial were possible.
To return to the question: Are the athletes
of the present superior to those of the paste
1t certainly seems, from consideration of
the various matters referred to, that our
modern ones are decidedly physically stronger
and capable Of greater ezertion, and also
that, Independently Of that, they arc able to
obtain moro result from their eEertionS than
the ancients. The men of the present day,
we know, are larger than they were in by
gone years, and therefore they should be
more powerful"

LIE ONE TNCEPTION.

There is one branch Of athletics-archery-
In the practice Of which themoderns are deci-
iedly inferior to their predecessors This is
low entirely followed as an amusement, prin-
cipally by ladies, who so far back as the Sew

Of it, and by gentlemen of the country;
whereas in ancient times it was a serious
business, and the archers were most impor-
tant portion of the armies of those days The
discovery of gunpowder and the introduction
Of firearms are of course the causes of its de-
cline. Now 100 or 12O yards is usually the
extreme distance ct which shooting takes
place, 60 or 50 yards being more general; but
24O to 400 yards were once no uncommon
