lhere Is one thing above all Others that
Keeps the English man of fashion in sucb
Hie heatth. There has been no sDecirnen
OF fuddler manhood on American soil in
years than was brought 10 notice in the
presence OF Colonel Vivian, whose mar
rage TO Mrs. Roberts occurred IN New
York recently. he is ar example of the
physlcaiiy trained military gentleman
ana English man OF fashion. and he him
sen says that his powerful PHYSIQUE and
s.rohg constitution are hut the result of
the physical training that he has had
since childhood. This is told 10 empha-
,ze t.e heeo OF exercise on the part of
every American society man.
Harvard and Yale have done nnuch IN
pring physical training into favor among
men OF fashion. The sons of Americas
rich men do not outgrow the love for ath
ietics and outdoor sports acquired in the
mines, "eieyens" and crews of those
INSTITUTIONS. After graduation. although
ball and baseball games, they never
theiess continue exercising TO some ex-
tent, whether il be in bicycling. tennis or
riding. Many go in for gymnastics. as the
membership roll OF the Manhattan Ath-
letie Club shows. DR.. c. 2. Linhart. the
physical director of that institution, has
IN his charge number of sons of million
aires and prominent clubmen who take
regular weekly exercise under his SUPER
vision. DR.. Linhart has adopted the chart
system OF development first introduced by
Amherst, and which has since been
adopted by Harvard and Yale. The
idea OF the charting system is TO keep a
progressive record OF mans development.
so that at any given time ii may be ascer-
tanned just what muscles need special
training TO keep up the symmetry of the
body. For instance. if the measurement
show that he is pigeon breasted or pro-
portlonately too deep through the chest
he is put on exercise that develops him
lateraiiy, or vice versa. But in general
il cannot be said that gvmnatics are
popular IN the ranks OF men of fashion.
Boxing Is not much of a fad now, though
several wealthy young men are still waited
on III their apartments by champions from
whom they take instruction in the use of
their fists. But boxing is too violent A
man who needs his head in his business.
even if that business is only saying harm
ing nothings about Ibsen and Browning
between waltzes, can't afford to have il
undergo the conclusions OF q sparring
bout.
Riding is deservedly popular in fashion
able circles. 1t is an exhilarating exer-
else. and although il does not develop all
the muscles of the body, it takes first place
as a supplementary means of refreshing
ones constitution. for there is nothing
really so inyigorating as fresh air and sun
shine; but the man exposed to the wear
ing designations of society life needs some
thing that will do more than shake up the
body; he needs something that viii bring
every muscle into active play.
DR.. w. Seward Webb. the weIl-known
club man, and president of the Wagner
Palace Car Company, uses the dumb bells
and Indian clubs. Chauncey N. Depew
takes his out in walking. De Lancey
Nicoll, the district attorney, is also great
walker, and about once week, when
the weather is propitious, takes a
twenty-mlle constitutional out into the
country. Tom Johnson, the great society
favorite and statesman, of Cleveland, is
devoted TO the bicycle Eddie Gould has
strong prediction in the direction of ath-
letic sports, in addition TO his skill on
horseback. which makes il improbable
that he will ever have to employ private
physician, as does his father. The Cut

to their active engagements In healrhful
