ENGLISH OPINION OF PETIT.
The London Field, In long review OF the
tennis PLAYER Pettit and bis style OF play, con
cudes by saying: Wherever the bail may
chance TO come Peltips racket is there. With
great rapidity he determines on his course of ac-
ton, and Instantly drives the ball over the net
with great violence, that none but the most
active and watchiul adversary get near the
Dali before II falls. To player with Petit =
certainty and swiness of return ii matters little
whether he makes one close or another. II he
ml>judges a ball he returns it behind his back
between his legs under his arm. II a ball is
anywhere within reach Qor he is all over the
coup it goes over the net somehow or other
and when returned II goes over the net again,
generally IN way that puzzles his adversary"

Malcolm ". Ford, the celebrated amateur ath-
lete, has written several very interesting articles

lea. and his advice is always sought after by
representatives OF the New York athletic clubs.
A to the best way 10 train for two-mile race,
Ford says;
II there is no track in your town. 20 to piece OF
road which may be level and practice running any
where from one mile to three niles every day,
being careful not to run too much. You might find
con' enient place 10 stop, say about mile from
your starting place. You can rest there anywhere
from fifteen minutes 10 half hour and then YOU
can run back to your home and take bath. Inc
duiSed in only when Won feel NE II sa,n ~

shoes. should do for costume for running on the
road track would be better place to practice
on but II you have perseverance, the road would do
day and run fast very seldom 1t is the slow
runs which build one up, while a fast pace con.
must be used in determining how much work to dc
how fast to run in practice If a friend will go
occasionally time you your work will be more
agreeable than If you went alone. If find feel
ing OF lassitude coming over you caused by hot
weather OF too much running, you go very
easy. Ease up in your work during the last week
and regulate your thirst as well as you can not
10 drink too much, Tor distance should
have rather dry diet Get plenty OF sleep aud en-
gage Ia nothing which tends TO excitement and
Iiment You should run every day, but vary dis
lance and speed IN accordance with your feelings.
