STRONGER THAN sANDoW.
Cincinnati Believes She Has the Most
Powerful Man in the World.
(From the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette.)

(From the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette.)
Cincinnati claims TO have the strongest
man in the world, Sandcw not excepted
His name is Henry Holtgrewe. and he
holds net only the gold medal of the
State of Ohio for heavy lifting, but also
tie Sandow gold medal for feets of
strength. Sandow gave the latter co him
few months ago, with the direction to
defend sit against all corners, and he is
row prepared to defend it against San-
dow himself. He is 33 years of age, and
was born in Osnabruck Prussia. He
came TO Cincinnati twelve years ago.
When lad at school in Germany he
showed the strength of three boys and
his father had the same reputation, but
he did not make any special effort at
the development Of his natural strength
until two years ago, when the Sandow-
Montgomery imbroglio attracted public
attention.
For several years he has been known
for his strength, due to the facility with
which he handled heavy furniture and
lounges about his saloon, but he has nsv-
or belonged to gymnasium. Two years
ago he htted up o training room in the
Yard IN the rear of his saloon, and his
training has been entirely according to
ms own Judgment. Since he met San
dow he has continue his exercise with
greater Zesr, ana can now do all the
feats OF strength Sandow did then, and
more.
| He is about five six inches height His
chest expansion is an inch mora than
Shadows, and LIE measures one inch
more around the muscles of the arm. He
can lift dead weights with one hand that
other strong mon cannot lift with two.
one OF his feats is TO lift a dumbbell
| Weighing 800 pounds with one hand,
and put it above his head, then to let
one man of $50 pounds hang to each
end. He takes 200 pound dunibbell,
puts it straight ovar his head with one
hand, and lies down upon his back and
rises again without letting the weight
| touch tho floor. He takes a $50 pound
dumbbell, puts it across his nook and
| shoulders, balances man on each end,
two Others midway, and one in the CEN
Etre, and walks backward and forward
across the room.
| Recently he had built plat orm after
the style of Saudow's 1t weighs 200
pounds. On this he places his dumb
bells, which weigh 1,600 pounds, and
eight men, who weighed 1400 pounds,
and lifts the whole weight with his
shoulders.
Holtgrewe is great hero in unprofes-
sional orioles in Cincinnati, and his
friends have for some time been urginig
him to make a public declaration Of his
strength He is quiet and unassumi ng,
but leaves Cincinnati with absolute con.
fidence in his ability to establish his
claim to be the str ongest man in all the
world.

but two wheels had been supplied of the
same make and gear. SO that the riders
would be on an equal footing in every re-
gard. Smith made the distance in 81 Sec
OF DIS. Greer In Al and Schade in S. In the
maj neat Schade made the half mile in 40
seconds. with Greer only few seconds be-
hind him. Schade rode his own wheel in
this race. and hereafter all contestants will
be allowed to use their own bicycles in the
competitions.
