"Hanlan is a good man still. He is

did. In his race against Mclean at New
Westminster bis time was 1923, which
beats his own record. He is Just as good
as ever, but the new men who are coming
TO the front are younger and know Just as
much about rowing as he does, and per-
haps find out some points he does not
know. Then the general run of speed
is higher and fully five strokes more are
made to the minute on an average than
were made five years ago.
There is also a change in the method
of starting. These Australians generally
start by mutual consent. and if you make
stroke forward they are off just like a
Splinter. Again, there is no such thing
as trying to tire man out and reserving
your strength for a final squirt You're
apt to find that the other fellow has final
squirt left in him, and that you have
blown yourself out. The only way is to
row as hard as you can all the time from
start to finish. Rowing is getting more
like sprinting every year in that respect.
