A SON OF NEPTUNE.
Matthew Arid. Life Saver. Champion SWIM
mer and All Round Athlete.

ner ana All Round Athiete.
Among tho many hardy individuals who
play pitch and toss with Father Neptune
for livelihood, one of the most interest
ing from sporting point of view Is
Matthew Aird, a steward on the White
Star steamship Germanic. When not on
the water, Aird is In 1t, at least as often
as his duties permit, and he is responsible
for string of swimming achievements
which would make u unique chapter In
any mans history.
Matt, as he is familarly known In every
port washed by the Atlantic, IL one OF
natures athletes, never in training but al-
ways fit ready to walk or swim match
or to jump overheard in midocean II there
is a life in danger. His trophies bear testi-
mony TO his success in these different roles.
They arc of all kinds and form curious
collection, In which conspicuous pages arc
occupied by Humane society decorations
for galantry and life saving. Hc says he
Is through with competitive sport, but as
he is still on tho sunny side of 40 he will
probably line uN again with "the boys"
whom they start their pier pastimes next
spring.
Arid was born at Liverpool In 1858, and
soon knew as much about swimming as
walking, tho former accomplishment be-
ing inherited from his father noted
diver and aquatic expert. Matt celebrated
his majority by jumping from the Liver
pool landing stage into the Mersey and
saving the life of prominent business
man named Joe Simmons. For this no
was awarded the Humane society's silver
medal. Soon after he leaped to the rescue
of boy drowning off Morpeth docks and
brought him safely ashore, again earning
the Humane socety's medal.
In 1879 he also launched forth after COM
petitlve swimming honors and won the
championship of the Mersey over a rough
ish stretch of about 1S miles from Runcum
to Liverpool. He then tried speed racing
with equal success. winning the silver cup
for the 500 yard championship at the Liv-
erpool salt water baths, three prizes off the
reel at the Margaret street baths and
later on tho Cooks Challenge cup at
Leeds AS recently as 500 Arid won the life
saving competition, open to all England,
at Leeds, and took second place the follow
ing year. He has also won laurels ut all
kinds of trick and fancy swinging, and
his "act' Is always one of the Ihost strik
ing features Mt the annual outings Of his
fellow stewards
Since Aird took TO seafaring he turned
to athletics as an enjoyable side issue, and
the surprises he has sprung on the handi-
oappers are legion. He can Valk, spring,
hurdle or jump, as the occasion demands,
but no always get backs to his old love as
regular as the tide comes in. He Is feet
10 inches in height, we'll developed all
over and weighs $50 pounds In swimming
costume New York Sun.
