Y. M. C. A. GYM IN RUSSIA.
First Y. M. C. A. Gym is Opened In
Land of the Car.

First Y. M. c. A. Gym is Opened In
Land of the Gar.
While Norfolk is working for a Y.
M. c. A. building over in st. Peters
burg they have started the Russia's
first Y. M. c. A. gymnasium. A press
dispatch says:
The first gymnasium to be opened
by a Young Mems Christian associa-
ton in Russia and at the same time
the first school of scientifically direct
ed physical training using the meth
DDS developed by the Y. NJ. c. A. and
colleges of America has just been
opened in st. Petersburg.
1t has Immediately sprung into pop
ularity and the Russians are heartily
taking to it, Instead of the heavy
apparatus work in vogue throughout
Europe, there is taught the American
method of light bodybuilding exer-
cises and games-and especially bas-
ketball. This fully equipped physical
department, including gymnasium
with running track and an extensive
system of baths and dressing rooms,
and all directed by a religious organi-
Zation as a part of its man-develop-
ing system, is a new demonstration
in the empire
The gymnasium was erected and
equipped at the expense of James
Stokes of New York, who established
the association and purchased the
main building several years ago. The
association already has a membership
exceeding 1900, and the minister of
finance has notified its treasurer that
a gift of 5000 rubles would be forth
coming annually from the govern
ment for its support. Business houses
have contributed to it's maintenance,
so that $4,000 rubles each year are
at its disposal
The czar has been so much i'm
pressed with the services of the asso-
cation that he has made personal &C
acknowledgement of his appreciation to
Mr.. Stokes, its founder.
