The man in training should always have plenty of exercise given him at regular and proper intervals. By plenty of exercise I mean just enough, neither too much nor too little; and to be able to tell just when a man has just enough belongs only to those who have had an extensive experience in preparing men for aquatic or other contests.
His habits must, of necessity, be very regular, otherwise the course which he is pursuing will result in very little good.

MADAME ANDERSON, the great 2,700 Quarter-mile Walker.
In regard to the oars which myself and brothers—the Ward crew—generally use, they are sweeps, about twelve feet long and five inches wide. A boat for our crew of four would be forty-six feet long and twenty inches wide. In pulling we use the legs, and in a four or six-oared boat pull forty and forty-two strokes per minute. In pulling a pair of sculls, I pull about thirty-eight strokes to the minute, and use the legs.
We used spoon oars, and our boats were constructed with the stroke on the starboard side.
In sculling, I have always pulled open-handed, but I think cross-handed is the better style.
