How Mcdowell Was Beaten.

DIR. Mcdowell the Chicago oarsman, who
was beaten yesterday at Henley, got away
quickly at the signal in the sixth heat for
the diamond sculls, striking thirty-s'x
stroke. to thirty-four pulled by r. X. Beau
mont of the Burton Rowing Club, his op-
ponent. The doctor quickly took the lead,
rowing an easy, confident stroke. This he
maintained TO the island, where he led 10y
half a length. On increasing his lead he
steered for the Bucks shore, but, upon
Beaumonts squirt, he crossed back to his
own side. The half mile was done in 3m.
2ls.
Shortly after passing Fawley Court a
number Of boats crowded the course, and
Beaumont was obliged to lift his oar in
order to clear them. Here Mcdowell
lowered his stroke and looked distressed.
Beaumont then made fine squirt ard drew
ahead. The American constantly turned
his head to watch his opponent. and, as a
result, steered wildly. AT The mile Beau
mont drew ahead, took McDowell's water
and won easily by four lengths.
The general opinion expressed was that
Mcdowell was completely outclassed.
After the race DIR. Mcdowell said: Il have
no reason to assign for my defeat save that
Beaumont was the better rover and that /
was not fast enough. The wind was dead
against me, and every time lifted my oars
i seemed to be driven back. 1 was beaten

Training OF Greek Athletes.

Greek boys began to be trained
in bodily exercises at very ear
ly age often at 10 years. The
problem was not merely to de-
velop strength and health, says
st. Nicholas, but to, secure grace
and beauty, perfect beauty being
thought the outer expression of
perfect strength. 1t was this pas
sion for the beautiful in every
phase of Greek life which made
its sculpture and architecture
the noblest the world has seen.
But the thought had still a deeper
root. The Greek assumed that it
was only ia the perfect and sym
metrical body that the we'll
balanced mind could dwell; so
physical culture held a foremost
place in his plan of education.
