The Chanlnion Swimmer.

The ST. Louis Republic tells of a man
named Geo. E. Rosenthal, a medical
student of Quincy, Illinois, 26 years old,
who swan the Mississippi for three
hours, going IL miles without q stop,
and claims that by this feat Mr.. Rosen-
thai is the champion long-distance
swimmer of America. Our fellow-towns-
man, Attorney John l.. Henderson
made record last year by swim in
the Columbia that is far ahead Of that
reported by the Republic He made the
- miles from Hood River TO the Cas-
cades in 5 hours and minutes. The
water OF the Columbia is ice cold, and
such a swim IL equal to Il 35-mile swim
in the warm waters OF the Mississippi
Mr. Henderson lived seven or eight
wears in the South and while there held
both the amateur and professional cham
pionships Of America. He has met sew
eral challenges for this title but has
hested all competitors, One of his rec
ord makers was a swim of l6 miles
straight out into the gulf OF Mexico,
equal to Mt least 80 miles in river with
. current. Mr.. Henderson says he has
standing challenge, for u purse of
81 600 and up for each side, for a swim
in the Columbia, either from Hood
River to the Cascades or from The Dalles
to Hood River, distance of little over
20 miles each way. The swim of Mr..
Henderson's from here to Cascades was
published in all the great sporting papers
in the United States and England, and
was considered one of the best records
ever made.
