Good Condition Necessary.

The candidate for a crew should first

II during Thorpe's second
week. 1t became necessary to
begin on section IA. which lay
two miles to the east. In that direction
the character of the country changed
somewhat.
The pine there grew thick on isolated
ISLANDS" of not more than an acre or
so in extent--little knobs rising from
the level of marsh In ordinary con-
ditions nothing would have been easier
than to have plowed roads across the
frozen surface of this marsh. The Pc
culiar state of the weather interposed
tremendous difficulties.
The early part of autumn had been
characterized by heavy snowfall I'M
mediateiy after series of mild days.
A warm blanket of some thickness
thus oyerlaid the earth, efectually pre-
venting the freezing which subsequent
cold weather would have caused. All
the season Railway had contended with
this condition Even in the woods,
muddy swamp and spring holes caused
endless difficulty and necessitated a
great deal of "corduroying," or the lay
ing of poles side by side to form an
artificial bottom Here in the open
some six inches of water and unlimit-
ed mud awaited the first horse that
should break through the layer OF snow
and thin ice. Between each pair of is
lands road had to be ''tramped."
Thorpe and the rest were put at this
disagreeable job. All day long they
had to walk mechanically back and
forth on diagonals between the marks
set hy Railway with his snowshoes.
Early in the morning their feet were
wet by icy water, for even the light
weight of a man sometimes broke the
frozen skin of the marsh. By night
road of trampled snow OF greater or
less strength was marked out across
the expanse. Thus the blanket was
thrown back from the warm earth.
and thus the cold was given chance
at the water beneath. In day or so
the road would bear horse. A bridge
of ice had been artiicially constructed,
on either side Of which lay unsounded
depths. This road was indicated by
row Of frs stuck in the snow on
either side

stroke is the first part. Therefore the
greatest force should be put into your
effort the moment the blade is sub
merged. This is basic law of rowing
that is too frequently ignored.
Force the blade through the water in
a straight line. Do not give a jerk at
the finish of a stroke, after the manner
of many tyros ana improperly taught
oarsnen. Make the entry of the blade
into the water as violent as possible
without sacrificing good form.
