Daniel Long. Fine phy.,ou..

The appearance OF Daniel Long, Of tho
1rimount Athletic club OF Boston, mt sew
eral athletic games In the vicinity Of New
York recently has caused considerable com
ment concerning his wonderfully fine ply
amateur athletic circles In Great Britain
talking Of his wonderful powers seven or
eight years ago IL was thought that no
one would he seen like him for many years
DAWN was good at throwing weights, and
half dozen years ago held the best rec
ords in the world for the running high and
broad jumps, o II. 2ss4 in. and 22 #. in.
respectively. The combination he dis
played Of strength for weight throwing
and activity for jumping was spoken of az
wonderful. His height was 0 feet, and his
weight 1863 pounds In athletic clothes.
He was very wiry,, but indications are
that Long win prove to bc even better
one, for although he Is ono inch shorter he is
neatly fifteen pounds heavier. and already
has made records at throwing weights
which DAWN never approached. Longs
jumping this spring has been phenomenal,
and at the running high jump at his club
games on July 4 he cleared IT, II "a in,
winning It and beating other good men
who have records close to feet. The
ground was poor, which adds extra merit
TO Longs performance. Although Long
is little more stockily built than DAWN
he has the same wiry sinews, and he and
DAWN would make n team unnpproachable
by any other two athletes for all round
weight throwing and jumping now on tho
path

CaletlOnlnn Games.

II has been noticed that there are not
nearly 80 many Caledonian games booked
for the summer as In former years, when
all through the northern part Of the
United States and southern part OF
Canada so many towns would
hold games. The opinion seems to
be among Scotchmen that one reason for
the decline is that on account OF money
prizes being given many athletes were de-
veloped who made specialties at one or
two events and this set would go through
the circuit winning all the prizes and
actually killing competition, which people
who attended tho games expected to see.
Athletes who take part in these games say
that although there are not so many small
games given there are more good ones
now than ever, for the large cities in
America continue to hold their customary
contests and are giving better prizes than
formerly

Conserving William O'Connofs dsfsat
by Stansbury, the Australian, in their ~
cent scull race for the worlds champion
ship, many prominent oarsmcn are Of tho
opinion that O'Connor could not have
been at his best, owing 10 the feeling Of un-
certainty he has had since his arrival in
Australia concerning . fair match. O'Con-
nor has said that thcr had been moro
dickering and small play In the Antipodes
in regard TO any one rowing him than h
had ever before seen.
Professor Galton, the celebrated swim
ming instructor Of Dublin, ireland, advises
people who are teaching others to swim 70
sit In punt or on q rock with q stout stick
10 or Is feet in length, at the end OF which
Is cord with feet or no Of loops. The
learner puts himself into the loops, and the
teacher plays him as fisherman would
play flsh in water that u we'll out OF his
depth, giving him just enough support TO
keep him up. After few lessons many
boys require no support At all, and swim
with the rope dangling slack about them.
They can then shift for tbcms slves.

who was In athletic clothes. Rich cleared
10 II. 3 in, and Webster could not come
within an inch and a half Of it, but he had
been competing during tho afternoon and
was tired. The impromptu competition
gave Rich reputation Immediately, and
soon nfter he was o member of the Man
haitian Athletic club and wore the 'cherry
diamond" at the first indoor championship
games, where he competed in the standing
broad jump and three other events, but he
had to give way to the invincible Samuel
Crook, Of Rich's club
Withextra practice he seemed to develop
into first rate 30 and 75 yard runner,
showing remarkable quickness In getting
into his stride after leaving his mark, and
also travelling along at lively gait when
makes other competitors look almost like
pigmies, and his long bounding stride is
In great contrast with the style used by
the majority of others. He showed fond
ness for jumping, and although he would
without doubt make capital sprinter
should he continue practising, he prefers
to use what time he has for exercise In
growing expert at tho various styles Of
standing jumping. His practice has not
been wasted, for at the games of the Free
port Athletic association, of Long Island,
held July 4, he broke the worlds amateur
record for the standing hop, step and
jump, doing 20 It. II In. The previous
record was - IT. 9ls in, and it was made
In 1886.
In doing this game Rich toes line,
standing on his right leg, and hops about z
feet, measured to the heel. He then gives
step, landing on his left leg, Of about 10
feet, measured from heel to heel, and his
last effort is a jump which measures be-
tween 12 It. o In. and 10 feet from heel to
heel II is game that needs considerable
strength in the legs, for there is no run
from which to derive impetus and tho
movements are plain muscular effort.
Very few athletes can do 1t WE'LL although
there are many good performers at the
running hop, step and jump, where ever
40 feet is generally cleared. All Of Richs
movements while making his recent rec
ord showed great strength, and as it is q
simple game TO perform, requiring no ap-
paratus, the majority Of people can appre-
ciate Richs figures by trying IL themselves.
The ground on which Rich competed was
composed mostly OF cinder, which did not
hold him well while making the leaps, and
the probabilities are that he can add few
inches to his present record il given good
piece of smooth clay or well rolled turf.

GENERAL ATHLETIC NEWS.

James A. st. John, president of the West
ern Association of Amateur Athletes, has
arranged plan Of amalgamation of his
association with the Amateur Athletic
union which will be submitted at the lat
ter body's convention at Washington on
Sept 10. He has previously opposed anal
gamation on the ground that the w. A. A.
A. would lose its identity, but his plan,
which very few oppose, Is that the dividing
of the country into districts, such as east
ern, western, middle and southern, will
give different associations now existing
and claiming jurisdiction over such dis
tricts all the legislative power they want
with simply change in name.
The Ottawa Amateur Athletic club Of
Canada, which has not been organized
very long, is already showing considerable
strength and enterprise, and the athletes
in its ranks cannot say they are not
encouraged. On Sept. 10 the club will
hold big games on the Metropolitan
ground, consisting of a full programme Of

The games of the Olympic Athletic
club, of San Francisco, Cal, on July
did not bring about the breaking
of record, which many had thought
would surely happen. The record in
question is the running broad jump of
23 #. in, which Victor Il. Schiiferstein,
of the Olympics, has trained for some time
to beat. The form he has often displayed
shows that on good day II he is feeling
right he can alter this record, but no is OF
highly nervous temperament and any
thing that goes wrong is apt to unfit him
for even moderate performance. He did
not appear ON the day in question and the
spectators were disappointed. Schifferstein,
however will try again, for he says II he
attempts the feat often enough some day
be will get there.
