RAISED THEM 5000 TIMES.
Great Feat of Henry LevisOn of Chi
cago With DumbbeIls.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-By raising two 10
pound dumbbells 5000 consecutive
times Henry Levison of this city broke
the worlds record in a trial. The test
of endurance was witnessed by several
hundred spectators. > LeviSons time
for the new record was 5 hours and Al
minutes and during the long grind his
strength was kept up by nourishment
given him at frequent intervals by an
attendant. He finished comparatively
strong and made the last 1000 lifts in
SO minutes. The former record was
made in 1870 by Pennock of Philadel-
ptia who raised the weights S.431
times. Pennock. however. lifted from
the shoulders up, while Levison in the
record just established lifted from
arms length up and down. On
March 8, 1898, Levison accomplished
$500 lifts in two hours and 40 min
utes. -
The dumbbells used were officially
weighed prior to the test and were
found to be slightly over 20 pounds.
