siA William Macgregor, governor of Newfoundland, is one of the most re- lnarkable men of the British Colonial service, both physically and intellectu- ally; and, indeed, his herculean strength has contributed in no small degree to impress the savages, over whom he has been called upon to rule in the past, with sense of the power of the British empire. He is the only Colonial governor to wear the Albert medal, which is the civilian counterpart of the Victoria Cross. He received it for the heroic rescue of the crew and passengers of the steamship Syria when 1t was wrecked at the foot of a precipice near suya, the capital of the Fiji Islands. I

More than thirty thousand postage stamps were used in the making of a dress for woman worn at ball in Bermuda. Years had been spent in col lecting the stamps, and three weeks in making the dress, which was of the finest muslin. The lady applied to her friends to help her, and the dress was completely covered with stamps of all nations, In the center of the breast was all eagle made entirely with brown Columbian stamps. Suspended from the talons was a globe made of very old blue revenue stamps. On either side of the globe was an American flag, the stripes of blue and red stamps. A collection of foreign stamps was past ed on the back of the bodice !n the form of shield, the center of which was made up of a portrait of the brave Sir George Summers, cut from old rev.

duced the side stroke and established
the record for a mile said Meffert,
"all the swimmers took it up, and for
eight or ten years it was the leading
style of swimming in this country. The
others had always been using the
breast stroke and underarm side
stroke, but most of the swimmers
found the side stroke easier and soon
adopted 1t. About ten years ago w. G.
Johnson, of the New York Athletic
club, won the 100-yard championship
with the t~rudgeon stroke, which is now
so popular with the swimmers. After
he introduced this new stroke the side
motion saw its decline and the shorter
distance swimmers began learning the
trudge. 1t went well at first for the
short distances, but many pronounced
1t too firing for a mile. Several swim.
mers finally mastered it for the bis
distances and about five years ago be
gan swimming a mile. After the trudge
had been mastered for a mile most
swimmers thought it was the greatest
stroke ever introduced. and four-fifths
of all swimmers were soon using it
The trudge did not prove the last OF
the stroke, however, but the crawl was
introduced. Many crack short distance
swimmers are now using this stroke,
but very few have mastered 1t for the
mile. At first it was very firing for
so yards, but finally worked up to 100.
AS was the case with the trudgeon, ii
is very likely that the crawl will be
used in mile championships In
the 20 years the mile record has been
greatly reduced, but | believe that the
side stroke will become the popular
stroke in the course of a few years.
The present record for a mile is about
26: AZ, recently made by Daniels in the
New York championship meet. Pre-
vious to that Rausch, the German, had
held the mile record with 27:18, which
he made at the worlds fair in 1904.
