OF the year. At this rate the club will

At the boathouse Lieut.. Baker is equally
busy and on regatta day certainly de-
serves success for the efforts he is put
ting forth now.
The great trouble with SO large an
amount OF material us he has at hand is
the lack OF regularity on the part of those
who are likely men, and who might be
useful Many seem to lack club pride or
else they have the wrong conception of

work will not do.
The junior eight has been selected. and
during the week showed the most wonder
full improvement imaginable. Body and
leg movements have now been acquired
and a letting down OF the stroke has fol-
lowed, and more speed in gotten in on
every stroke, and speed with such power
is the natural result. Several time trials

COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB
In compliance with the request of q
number 9th en new members Of the Columbia
Athletic Club, Prof. Crossley will be in
the gymnasium at the big clubhouse from
to O'Clock every Monday and Thursday
afternoons and wednesday evenings, from
$3.50 to 8 O'Clock During the hours named
the professor will take measurements and
prescribe the proper and necessary exer-
.ise 10 develop and strengthen this or
that portion Of the body Of the applicant
as the examination may point out.
At the same time the proper use of all
the gymnasium apparatus will be ex-
planned and practical illustration given.
By the time the regular indoor season
opens these members will be In fine shape
to take up the regular work with the
classes.
Crossley is spreading his usefulness in
all lines. He is having several rings, same
as swinging or travelling rings, put up over
the swimming pool. In addition to this q
diving platform will be erected and the
pool will be made especially attractive to
those who are expert and skillful not only
as swimmers but as gynlnasts.
The professor is busy teaching the young
sters, sons and relatives OF members, how
to swim and to do certain tricks In the
water. When they are in exhibition shape
a swimming evening win be given and
will include all sorts OF swimming and
water gymnastics. It is hoped to give this
interesting entertainment some time in
October.
Since his return Crossley has put into
practice several new systems of training
and coaching of beginners, and the results
are very gratifying.

the machine. Upon the catamaran is fixed
modification Of the bicycle idea. A
seat fashioned like an ordinary cycle
saddle, supported on q frame. Is where the
rider goes. In front of him is a cow
horn handle bar. nickied and cork handled,
which controls the steering apparatus.
CHAIN AND sPROCKET.
Below the seat are the pedals, connected
on shaft with sprocket wheel. The
chain which transmits the motion from
the pedals to the source of resistance runs
like an ordinary cycle chain A large
paddle wheel in two compartments, around
which the fan-like paddles are arranged
in alternate order. is the propelling power.
When the pedals are moved the chain m owes
the wheel, and the paddles pushing against
the water acts as levers, and move the
entire machine along.
A wheeihouse completes the details,
and besides acting as protection to the
rider from the water, keeps the paddles
from being injured. A feature which Con-
structor Shook has added to the original
plan Of Inventor Moulton will appeal
to the younger folk.
What the tandemcycl is to the young pee
pie who delight to be near each other In
their hand travels, so win the improved
hydrocycle be to the romantic young people
when on these water excursions. There
is fascination about riding together in
shady hooks on tandem. but to be alone
with her on moonlight night upon the
quiet river win certainly appeal to every
lover. With a view to helping the young
couples Mr.. Shook has placed a sleigh-like
arrangement In front OF tile cycle seat
