To Start from Sandy Hook in
Long, GrueIIing Test.
AFTER DISTANCE RECORD
Plan Is to Touch at Battery and
Head for coney Island
Without Resting.

Charles B. Durborow, Of Philadelphia,
an amateur member of the American Life
saving Society, will attempt to swim from
Sandy Hook to the Battery and then back
to Coney Island, total distance Of thirty
four miles, In one continuous Journey, on
Sunday. This is the greatest test Of en-
durance ever undertaken by an American.
and will probably be Durborow's farewell
performance, If he succeeds. for his bust
ness engagements make IL hard for him
10 do any training. and he finds he can
no longer devote the necessary time to
the sport He has already placed TO his
credit enough distance records to stamp
him the best endurance swimmer ever de-
veloped In this country. and there are no
more classic tests for him to conquer.
Owing to the tidal conditions Durborow
will start from Sandy Hook at o'clock
In the morning, try TO make the Battery
on the flooding current, then turn, with
out touching land, and endeavor to
reach Coney Island on the ebbing tide.
He has calculated his speed TO nicely,
and II the sea is fairly smooth he feels
quite confident OF carrying out the pro-
posed programme.
