shippers, who came to swim and that
only. Sunday vas the great day, and
you would see a succession of clean-cut
plunges from the thirty-foot frame at
the head of the pier, and long-distance
endurance swims out into the middle of
the current.
The man who is really a swimmer,
and would rather do a thing thar la
ment its absence, "a get winter swim
ming that will keep him sound and
free from colds in almost any city of
100, 900 inhabitants in almost any coun-
try of the world. The solution is the club
pool, the Y. M. C. A. pool, or the Turk
fsh bath. These resorts have been so
largely used by men of rotund form
and lazy habits. and by jewellers recov-
ering from Saturday night, that they
convey the impression of a secret So
ciety of fat men. But their wise use Is
entirely possible to any person with a
salary of SO a week or over. The
sixty-foot pool only needs to be ira
versed twenty times for the swimmer
to score a quarter mile to his credit.
1t isn't the same joy as the ocean UNI
der d clear sky. The splashings of fat
bunglers inside the same marble COM
partment are more Objectionable than
when you can beat out TO open sea
while they gulp in waves at the a
gin of the Atlantic Coast. But the ex-
ercise n the reaction are there in
pleasant measure, accessible to all
whose eye is fixed on the blue summer
water Of the open bay, but most of
whose life is spent indoors in routine.
Doubtless there is swimming to be
had up around the North Pole, and
certainly there must be good floating,
browsing the long tides idle, where the
supposititious equator belts our little
world. Perhaps some day it will be
granted lis to try one or the other. and
round out a life of swimming with
some daring or luxurious extreme.
Meantime let every one fall to on what
is actually on hand, his little pond or
brook or strip of the sea, n each
year gain a wider area of time-no
longer letting June and September go
wasted. Then May and october will be
taken over into the days that count

Delightful Spots Along Long
Island and Jersey Shores
Now Too Well Known.
BY ARTHUR H.. GLEASON.


TT HERE are swimmers that have
swan in pools and rivers and
the ocean in many portions of
the globe. They are fortunate, for they
have been able to add diversity to one
of the supreme outdoor pleasures. But
the Atlantic coast alone, with the inland
strip thrown in for good measure, gives
opportunity enough for varied kinds of
shocks and reactions.
The autobiography of one who swims
with no expert strokes and no diving
skill, but just straight on for a mile or
so-commonplace swimmer, such as any
enc may become-such a life record of
modest achievement ought to be of in
spiration and service to a race of water
lovers, who live, every man of them,
at the brink or entirely hemmed In by
water.
The east end OF Long Island was an
excellent place to l%earn-in Peconic bay,
an arm of the Atlantic. If you once
get a taste of the salt, fresh water is
never the same thing. The only way,
then, to make fresh water seem lively
and worth while is to taxi 1t cold,
where the shock makes up for the
lessened buoyancy.
Al admirable time and place for that
sort of plunge is the carly spring, on a
weeks walk up the left bank of the
Hudson. The brooks that run wild
down the hillsides a few miles west of
the river dam up behind a boulder once
in a while, and give a five-foot depth.
The ocean is attractive anywhere, and
there is no choice between the New Jer-
sey ocean-bathing and that at Coney

Island and Rockaway. But you feel the
change when you try the Maine coast
in late September with the water at 81
degrees to 81 degrees. From Ports
mouth, New Hampshire, through York
harbor up to Portland, at Old orchard
Beach and out at the Point, the bathing
is keen and reviving after a long sum
mer in the great city. Most of the
bathers in those brisk fall days sit
.shivering on the shore. The water looks
cold till you are once inside it, and
there is M surer way of finding it too
cold to go in thai to sit on the beach
looking at it.
Among personal adventures, the
briskest swimming l ever had was in
the Bay of Fundy. The water is gasp
ingly chilly and the salt infusion strong.
There are few experiences more vivid
than to walk all day down the west
coast of Nova Scotia and then to leap
into that green-tinted water just be-
fore the turn of the tide.
Before Martin Sheridan became the
worlds best discus thrower and New
York's favorite policeman, he raj Pei
ham Bay Park. which lies, fronting
Long Island sound, a few miles to the
north of the Harlem river He used to
open up Zach winter morning by a
swift run into the water from his room
and then a couple of hundred yards of
rapid fire swimming in the water which
wasn't quite frozen. He used to say
that by March the water began to feel
tepid, and before April was done he
could get no proper reaction. But he

citizen of the Eastern States will find
June and July water none too ener-
