The Art Of Swimming
Written Especially Repub Frank H. McGrath
 nstruc in ming Riverside Park

A pupil should. and generally has a slight knowledge of one of the primary strokes before attempting to learn the single overland. The foot and leg movements are exactly the same as in the primary side stroke. except that the straight posi- ton after the completion of the kick. is held an instant longer. The right arm motion is exactly the same also in reaching out. but in recovering, it is turned palm to the rear and brought under the body with a sweeping full arm movement to a point opposite the left side This is done at the mo- ment of the kick. The right hand and arm is held rigid in front of the body. and the body should be gliding forward from the impetus of a well-applied kick, when the left hand is brought forward to a point opposite the eyes. palm down, at a. slight angle to avoid splashing, with the elbow slightly bent. and clear of the water The arm is then strengthened forward and a little to the side and as the right arm is straightened for the next stroke. it should be brought back in line with the hips. with vigorous pulling motion. This stroke is very good one for a long swim where speed is not material. and is very grace full and not eXhausting. The face should be held up, the eyes looking straight mp at the sky, and if the movements are-smooth and true, the mouth is kept clear of water and breathing is easy and normal. In all strokes care must be taken to breathe naturally. A good plan is to inhale on one stroke and exhale on the next, which gives the swim mer slow. full breath at all times and does away with the gasping efforts of many neophytes.

With a third of a mile to go, Willard set the clip and held the lead for few feet over Kolehmainen, with until the final two hundred yards, when Kolehmainen drew up.
 A heart breaking sprint began. with neither man able to gain an inch, and the thousands in the stand were thrown ito a frenzy of excitement.
 Ten feet before the tape was reached KoIehmainen by a supreme effort gained the few inches which put him over the line first.
 The big surprise or the meet was furnished in the mile run, when Norman Tabor of the Boston Ath- letic Association was beaten out by J. w. Ray of the Illinois Athletic Association in another race which brought the crowd tc it's feet.

the reputed insensitiveness Of the
civilized a a happy provision Of
nature to ease her children. All tho
sufferer knows is that most of the
racket is preventable. and that no
agent OF administration has yet seri-

Now Commissioner WOODS, having
surveyed the streets and endured their
needless clang and boisterousness. has
