skates lower and more crouehed than
his antagonist. The moment shown is
when he gives the finRl drive with his
left foot, and in another instant the
arms viii be across the body, the right
straight out and the left bent across
to the opposite knee. The sway of the
body to the right is well marked at this
stage of the stroke, While in figure 3

body weight being on the ball of the
foot and this action is prevented by the
long skate, except Just at the end Of
the stroke, when they are unable from
the ouickness of the motion, to put
much force into the movement. This
popularity of figure is rendered indis-
tinct in many men who cycle in sum-
mer and skate in winter, but Johnson
and McCulloch, both expert wheelmen,
have told me that at the end of their
skating season, their calf measurement
is always at least one inch less than
when they put away their wheel for
the winter.
In a long race the steady rhythmical
swing with arms at rest on the back,
as shown in figure l, is relieved only
when corners are to be turned. Then
they are brought down and swung from
side to side to help in taking the curve.
but ii is when the last lap is entered
upon and everyone among the specta-
tors feels that the moment of supreme
interest is approaching, that the real
beauty and grace of the skater is
shown at its best. The arms are
brought into action and swung straight
from the shoulder, the body falls un-
consciously into poses worthy the best
efforts of a sculptor, ever changing
with rapidity the eye can scarcely fol-
low.
