IN taking UP il new stroke lie should

the side stroke it Is called the scissors

water MT least three feet in depth, whcr,
you can use either stationary or n

together.
The position of the body Is un.
changed. Lie on your side, with body
ard legs In n straight line; both arms
perpcndicularly over your head, and
the palms turned slightly away from
the face. Bring upper arm down
slnartly, keeping It rigid ut elbow and
wrist, palm Of hand open, fingers well
together. Garry It through the water
just below the surface. describing q
setniclrcle TO end at the thigh, then
bend arm at the elbow ard bring II
forward well above water, until 1t Is
straight before you in the original posi-.
ton. The under arm should be started
when the upper one Is just about
through with its stroke, and should
be brought down with force, almost
parallel to It, so that Mt the finish 1t
brushes the lower thigh; then it Is bent
ut the elbow like the other and brought
forward just below the surface. The
upper arm should rest on the water,
Mt full reach, while the under one re.
covers, until 1t is at tie height of the
head.
The action of the arms In the side
stroke entails q rolling motion Of the
body which burics the face Mt every
stroke. This necessitates an artificial
way of breathing, which has to be
learned before the stroke can be swum
properly. 1t is advisable to make
rpecial study Of it. Air should be in.
naled through the mouth as the up
per arm is being brought down and
should be exhaled through the nostrils,
under water, while the under arm goes
forward. Some find this impossible
even after long practice, and breathe
In and out through the mouth during
the short period that the face Is above
water, but if one can acquire the other
way 1t is far the best
The legs should be opened very
slowly just as the under arm starts

whnt Mikes the Trout shy,

The shyness of the summer trout of
the still springholc is due not entirely
TO his keen eye trained by the quietudc
of transparent waters. 1t is to be cred
tied more to his gregariousncss. The
cool places and deeper pools of the
trout stream are apt to be few and hive
the fish in schools. If the school num-
Der, say, fifty fish it means n hundred
watchful eyes and Il collective shyness
adjusted TO that of the most timid fish
of the fifty, whose sudden dash to safe
ty gives the warming signal to all. A
single nervous trout--and there are
usually scveral-is thus enough to scat.

hopes Of the angler.-Clarence Deming

Tomorrow will be Farmers Day at
the merchants and manufacturers fair,
which is being held at Brandywint
Springs Park, and, judging by he
preparation which is being MADE, not
only by the management Of the PARK,
but also by the exhibitors, 10 will be
one of the biggest days of the fair
While lt is specially intended to be
attractive TO people directly interested
in agricultural pursuits, the remain
der Of the community has not been
overlooked and the arrangements are
such as to make the day equally pleas
! ing 20 all.
The exhibits and park amusements
will be nc their best and there will
also be some special features appro-
/ pirate to the occasion, the idea being
TO offer special inducements for large
attendance on that day, which, Incl
dentally, are TO be continued the re-
mainder Of the week.
1t Is expected that large numbf r
/ of people will be there from West
Chester and Kennett Square, Pa, and
| other points along the kennett trolley
line The railway company has made
arrangements TO handle all of h
| people who desire 10 attend, as IA 8
also the Peoples Railway CO., whicA
expects heavy business between vii.
mington and the park Many extra
cars will be in operation on both lines.
The Mercantile Association, und, Z
whose auspices the fair is being hello,
Is pleased with the result, as are al. o
the exhibitors, many Of whom report
that they can already feel the benefit
they have derived from having booths
at the fair Many OF them have re-
| oeived orders from people who never
before formed their acquaintance, some
Of the purchasers being from the city
and some from nearby places in Penn

! drawing card among our Pennsylvania
neighbors 10 is success. IL Is demon
strating TO them the fact that in buy.
ing they need 60 no further than VII

RISING SUN LINE OPENED.

The new line of the Peoples Rail
way, known as the Rising Sun branch,
was put in operation this morning.
This is the line which is often spoken
OF as an extension to the Rockford
Park line, but this is a mistake, as it
is really an extension Of the Woodlawn
avenue line. The line goes through a
small portion Of Rockford Park and
follows the Brandywine for some dis
tance. 1t will be a great convenience
TO persons who live along du Points
Banks.
The first car left the Rising Sun end
Of the line at 8. 80 o'clock this morn
ing. 1t will take one hour and 10
minutes TO make the round trip and
the cars will run every 10 minutes.
