ROWED FOR HIS LIFE.
Exciting Race of Hanlon, Ex-Champion
 Sculler, in n Leaky Shell.

sculler, In n Leaky Sheu
 Early the other morning Edward Hanlon, the ex-champion sculler. was out for practice in Bedford basin, at Halifax, N. S., in shell that had been improperly mended. When the oars man was a third of mile out the glue melted, the gunwale parted just abaft the seat and water poured into the boct. Hanlon bent to the oars and drove the shell toward the shore with strokes that never faltered, although every second the stern sank deeper in the water and the bow rose higher in the air. It was a delicate matter to keep the boat on Ga even keel, too strong pull on either oar meant an overturn, making Han Ions task test of skill as well as of strength. The boat sank at last in four feet of water and Hanlon waded ashore. "They built a death trap for me-" he said, but I beat them out in the great est race I ever rowed."

THE Review of Reviews says that there is an open-air movement, almost revolutionary in it's degree. People are bicycling, yachting, playing baseball, tennis and golf to an extent which is new in this generation. Nor is any considerable fraction of these people of the class whose wealth makes some such diversion inevitable; they are the workers in stores and offices of the great cities-in short, "the peo. ple." If it be true that Americans are n nation of dyspeptics because they work too hard and take too little phy- sical exercise, the signs of 1896 are very promising of better things.
