TRAINING A BOAT CREW.
WALTER L. PEET TELLS HOW 1T
IS DONE.
an Interesting Article on the Mos
HeaIthfuI and Beneficial Of all
Athletic Sports-The Training Pro-
cess from start 10 Finish.

That rowing is the most healthtul
and the most beneficial of all athletic
sports can not be denied by any one
having a knowledge of the subject
City boys who have started in as strip
linEs to work for a freshman crew,
and have kept up rowing through
their college course, have developed
into strong. symmetrically formed
men, such as they never would have
been had they not gone in for this
branch of athletics. Especially is this
true in few of our leading universe
ties, where the training and coaching
of the men are Systematically and in
diligently managed.
If you are a boy who intends to go to
college you ought by all means to try
for the crew" Even if you fail to get
on your freshman eight, the time is
far from wasted as the work will do

good in every way.
just after the Christmas holidays
comes the first work on the set of men
from which the crew is to be selected.
Sometimes twenty or thirty men pre-
sent themselves as candidates to the
captain, who has been elected by the
crew of the previous year just before
disbanding. He takes them to the
gymnasium, where they are to work
with him for two or three months
He directs their exercise, their
diet and their hours; in fact, he
has complete control over them from
the time training is begun until the
crew breaks up after the race. 1t is
easy to see that the success of a crew

depends greatly upon the captain.
Above all he must have good Judgment,
and he must be firm without being
Overbearng. Besides this, he and the
coach must agree perfectly, else should
point come up on which they do not
have the same opinion, one or the
other loses the confidence of the men,
or worse, perhaps, there comes split
In the crew.
The work in the gymnasium, which
lasts two or three hours each day, con-
sists of hard general exercising on all
the apparatus, but principally on the
heavy pulley weights, the object being
to bring as many muscles into play as
possible, and to develop the body sym
metrically. Look closely at the next
good university crew you see and notice
the depth of their chests and how
beautifully their muscles are rounded:
note their carriage and their springy
walk and you will see the good of this
work.
Each day after the gymnasium work
the men row for about twenty minutes
on rowing machines or in the tank
In the middle of the tank, which is
filled with water, is long narrow box
fitted up with sliding seats, ''stretch-
ers" foot rests), and outriggers (the
irons which hold the rowlocks). A
large hole is cut in the middle of the
blade of each oar, so that when the
men row the water rushes through
these openings, giving the crew very
good indoor substitute for actual row
ing.
After the row the men take run of
two or three miles, which develops
their staying powers and enables them
to stand hard, sharp work without get
ting out of breath. This routine is
gone through day after day, until it is
warm enough to row on the water.
The men take hold of the oars with
about hands breadth between the
hands The stroke is commenced by
reaching forward toward the stern of
the boat with both body and arms and
putting the blade in the water, great
care being taken to swing forward
from the hips without bending the
middle of the back any more than pos
sible. The shoulders are kept down
and back, as there is not so much power
in them when they are ''haunched up"
and when they are allowed to move
forward too much they make the chest
hollow, lessening the lung and heart
room.

A hidden choir of dear southern birds
Have made their home in her fair throat,
Noicing the tender passion of unspoken words
In many sweet heart stirring note
Sometimes the arch and tricksy mockng bird
Laughs in her happy, Jocund tone;
Again the yearning of the dove is heard
AS when she mourns her mate alone;

Like some soul burdened choral prayer

THE MOUNTAINS.

All through the frozen land we sped,
Through cuttings white and marshes
drear;
Through black plantations, grim and dead
And forest giants darkly sere.
The landscape fled and passed below,
And gazing still, we saw no more
Than one great cherries waste of snow,
An ocean with no farther shore;
Until the mountains rose around,
So sternly from the icy earth,
And beauty. though rejected, found
A home in her own very dearth.
Cold they were, pride intensified
In every line so gaunt and grim
mantle and pail of pride,
That fingered when all else grew dim.
The rocky heads all powdered DER,
And in the valley far below
A forest tangle, and once more
long and stainless slope of snow.
They seemed as mourning for the past,
In hopeless mourning for an age
So distant now, its records cast
But mystery on earth's dim page.
They seemed as frowning on the eye
That arrogantly dared TO read
The secret thoughts they laid so by,
And to such silence had decreed.
They seemed as wrapped in voiceless scorn
Too passionless to stop to hate,
That anything of mortal born
Should dare one thought to penetrate.
l met them, and left them so,
Still watching from their fortress white,
Their cold, vast citadel of snow,
To see the first approach of night
Longing to feel its shadows glide,
And veil their grief and hide their pain,
With eager longing. even pride,
Though measureless, could not restrain.

KIIRAIN WINS A HARD FIGHT
Forty-fve Bloody, Groggy Rounds with
the Negro.

SAN FIR Nc1sco, Cal, March 14.-Jake
kilrain, of Baltimore, and George God
frev, colored, of Boston, met in finish
foht at the California Athletic Club last
night for $1,000 trophy. Kill
rain, who had been trained
by Muidoon, was in fine form;
The betting ranged from 500
to $50 to 500 to SIS in his favor. XII
rains weight was 1872, and Godfrey.
IA Kilrain's seconds were Jim Hall
and Muldoon. Godfrey was seconded
by Peter Jackson and Frank Steele, OF
Boston.
The fight was vicious from start to
finish. The men went at 1t hammer
and tongs in the sixteenth round and
fought viciously. Kilrain got to God
frey's face and neck and Godfrey re-
taliated on Kilrain's heart, and each
soon had bellows to mend. kllraIn
hit Godfrey repeatedly on the face with
both hands. Godfrey was now pretty
weary. He had some PUNCHES lett in
him vet, however, and the Baltimorean
felt them. 1t looked to the observer as
though Kilrain would win.
KiIrain did all the work in the next
two rounds, but in the thirty fifth God
frey staggered him twice with blows on
the chest and cut him under the left
eve, drawing blood. Inthe thirty-sixth
Kilrain threw Godfrey to the floor,
and, amid cries of foul, which the
referee ignored, hit Godfrey re-
peatedly on the head. Godfrey
arose and was knocked down and pun
ished all over the ridg. Godfrey again
went to thefloor. took his ten seconds
and rose just as the gong struck. Kill
rain immediately fought his man to the
ropes in the next round, raining blow
after blow on him, and at the end of the
round it lookek like walk around.
The next five rounds were repetitions
of the preceding, Kilrain doing most of
the nghting and Godfrey apparently
hoping to tire him out. At the end Of
the forty-second Jake was much ex-
hausted, and it seemed as if he would
be unable to give Godfrey his quietus.
In the forth-third he recovered
somewhat, but saved himself, neither
man receiving much punishment. In
the forty-fourth Kilrain gathered HIM
self for a supreme effort, and by a ter
rifle blow on Godfrey's bread basket
knocked him out. Forty-five hundred
dollars goes to Kilrain and $500 to God

BAD FOR SYRACUSE,
a Million Dollar Fire in the Bushes
District.

District.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, March 14.-At 6
o'clock this morning a fire was discov-
cred in HER < Lighton's cigar manu-
factory at 253 West Fayette Street, in
the Hogan block. 1t instantly spread
to the store of NJ. P. Walsh, in the same
block, and the fierce winds made an
awful draft between the thick walls Of
the building. Within ten minutes every
floor and the whole front of the build
ing presented mass of flames. At $50
the roof fell, and shortly after the rear
and front walls. But the wind grew
tiercer and the efforts of the tiremen
were puny compared with the greed of
the flames.
From the Hogan block the flames
leaped across the street, catching the
Osgood v Tracy block at the corner of
Franklin and Fayette streets. This
building was three stories high and was
soon destroyed. Then followed in
quick succession the Newell, Fay and
Ayres blocks, the Seneca House, the
Mansion House, and the United States
Hotel, and the Journal office. Other
buildings were damaged, and the aggre-
gate loss is placed at 81 zoo, 900, with
comparatively small insurance.
