tracted Much Attention

In an interview yesterday George r.
Chisholm, who, with John Y. Smith, is
giving an interesting exhibition OF
strength and acrobatic feats at Dock
stader's, said that his great strength
was attained by all-round work in the
gymnasium. using particularly the
horizontal bar and dumb-bells. He is
a firm believer in real exercise; that s,
the lifting of heavy weights.
In his experience he says he has
found that persons who practice with
Indian clubs and light dumb bells are
incapable of lifting heavy weights. al
though they may be perfect physi-
cally. The muscular development OF
these two men is surprising, and they
perform feats OF strength that almost
are beyond belief.
