In the acquisition of John a, Kennedy
the Mlnnesotas were happily fortunate.
AS trainer of famous Scullers there is
f1one who can show greater school.
The record of John Kennedy alone is
the most stable assurance to all young
men that the sport is one from which
more benefit may be derived from its
proper and intelligent exercise than
from any other outdoor athletics known
to men.
A Trainers Record.
Mr.. Kennedy has had twenty ode
years of experience IN rowing races nd
training and rigging and improving the
sporting shell. He has trained awk-
ward and supple alike, from one end of
the world to the other. Although over
forty years of age he has all the vitality
of an athlete of twenty-five, and he is
the very ideal of a man, temperate in
every indulgence. He says that DO at
ing has done good deal for him, for he
was unsound in health when he first
began his career as an amateur oars
man. When he began rowing he
weighed III pounds. He now weighs
155 and enjoys eXuberant health. He
thinks rowing the greatest of gentle
mems sports. 1t brings all muscles into
play, models them beautifully and
makes 4 man of the puny boy and a
tension-spring hero of the paunch-
weighted domestic man. He is called
the pioneer oarsman Of all professionals
and his record bears it gallantly. With
M. +. Davis as mate he won the double
Scull race at the Boston Fourth of July
regatta and then planted a standing Of
fer to his victory to row any two men
in the world, pair oars or double SOULS.
