p. Graham Of this city. and William J.
Glover, jr., Of Baltimore. successfully
SWAIN the lower rapids Of Niagara
from the American side of the whirl4
pool to Lewiston this afternoon. The
distance Of four miles was covered in
rs minutes by Glover
The start was made at 400 p. m.
from Flat rock which is on the Ameri.
can side. The swimmers did not venture
in the, upper rapids, where Capt. Webb
lost his life. i
Both men wore life belts and inflated
rubber rings around their necks. From
the start Glover took the lead He
entered the rapids a minute ahead of
Graham Until the Devils hole was
reached the swift current and roaring
rapids had the swimmers in their grasp.
At that point a swirling eddy caught
Glover and he was down nearly two
minutes. His life belt saved him.
Graham by this time had gained on
Glover, and when the two men reached
the end of the rapids just above the sus-
pension bridge at lewiston there was
but a little distance between them
Swimming in the swift, smooth current
was hard for Graham, but evidently
easy for Glover. M
At 4;2S o'clock Glover was pulled out
on the dock at Lewiston. He was
dressed and about Is minutes later tell
ing his story. Graham was taken to a
hotel in a wagon and did not leave
bed until late in the afternoon Neither
of the men was injured.
Graham had SWAN the lower rapids
twice before. He is about 55 years of
age, while Glover is S5 years old.
