Carpenter Nord.trom's Great Feat.

J. w. Kennedy earned the title Of strong
man by lifting The Police Gazette dumbbell,
which weighs I ,205 pounds. At the Grand
Opera House In Brooklyn recently he offer
ed on behalf Of Richard X. Fox $500 to any
other man who could lift 1t. A big blond
young man in his working clothes walked
up on the stage, pulled of his coat and lift
ed the big dumbbell clear of the floor two
inches. Then he repeated the feat twice.
while the audience cheered.
The big blond young man was Charles o.
j. Nordst rom, who was born In Gothland,
Sweden, "a years ago, but has lived in this
country IL years and has been an American
citizen five years. His home is at SO Fourth
avenue. Brooklyn, and he is a carpenter.
He Is 5 feet 10 inches high and weighs 2ls
pounds. His arm above the elbow has a
girth Of l6k inches His chest measures 80
inches but when expanded AZ inches. With
one hand he can raise a l40 pound dumb
bell above his head. He tried to get on the
Brooklyn police force recently. He has a
powerful pull, but probably it was of the
wrong kind.
IL have been to see Sandow and have
watched him carefully" said Nordstrom.
"With training can do anything he can,
and more too"

has won 4 games to Schaefer's 8; at the
champions game, which provides for tri

Schaefer 2; at balk line billiards Slosson
has won s, Schaefer l3; at cushion caroms
Slosson has won 8, Schaefer O.
As between Ives and Schaefer, since Ives
became phenomenal player, Schaefer has
won three and Ives three. They have met
only at the balk line game of billiards. The
issue between Slosson and Ives, since the
latter has met all corners, is four for Ives
and one for Slosson at balk line game only.
