PRESENT MEASUREMENT AXD WEIGHT—THE BOY- HOOD OF THE GREAT PUGILIST—WHAT MAKES 4 FIOHTER—HOW GOOD MEN ARE SPOILED BT INJUDICIOUS EXERCISING, (Copyright 1889.) At the present time I am a little over my fighting weight, My measurement is about as follows: Height, 5 feet 103¢ inches; girth chest, 44 inches; around portant as some people suppose. Jem Mace, who is a great authority, says that when a man ct See crowds of giants who Rave heer} into pugilism by le who belie that the. bi ‘man would always win, only one. Ned O° win, turned out to be fighter. Most of them are weak in the and nearly all are slow and clumsy in movements. BIS TERRIBLE LEFT. I suppose that a good deal of my strength and activity is due to training and hard work. No man can keep strong unless he uses his muscles po poy and almost anybody can build him- self up from a weak fellow who is no good into a first-class man. Of course aman who is born strong hasa vast advantage over one who is born sick or delicate. In my own case I had very healthy parents and was, I am told, a very good specimen of a baby and achild. [had little or no sickness in my early life, or, in fact, at any time. I was a very strong and healthy boy as far back as I can remember. I always hada t love for open-air rts and exercise. ‘ortunately for me it took the form of a taste for games and exercise which demand quickness of eye and limb rather than mere brute force. There is a lesson in this which applies to the parents of children, to men who are weak and desire to grow strong and to the ambitious members of city gymnasiums as well as to boxers, wrestlers oat suber professionals, MUSCLE AND STRENGTH. Any man’s muscles can be developed in two ways. He can work for mere bodily strength or for active energy. Most people labor under the false impression that strength means huge muscles and the power to lift big weights and that everything different means weakness. They are partly right and ly wrong. They are always disappointed when they see a first- class teresa e first — small and insignificant according mn ceived notions. The men they like to ik at are the performers in the circus or the mu- seum, men who pull horses backward and lift heavy barrels with their teeth, BIG MACHINES. In this respect there are hundreds of men who are stronger than I am. “Strong-arm” Kelly, who used two-hundred-pound dumb- bells; Gus Hill, who swings an Indian club weig! asmuch as an av man; Mlle Angela who lifts and carries half a ton; Professor Frank Herreshoff, brother of the great boat-builder, who raises two thousand pounds from the ground.and a lot of others are much stron; in this way than any _ fighter, dead or alive. But such are only big machines; they can do the line of busi- ness in which they work and train, but nothing else. GOOD MEN SPOILED. There are lots of clever young men who are ambitious who go into gymnasiums and exer- cise faithfully with heavy dumb-bells and clubs until they have developed big muscles all over their bodies. ‘Then all of a sudden they find that they aro mo match for a man half their size in boxing, wrestling, running, jumping, rowing, swim- ming, or playing athletic games. Generally they blame themselves for the inferiority and are Leg eyrper It is very seldom that they realize that it is their training and not their bodies that they ought to blame. In this man- ner many splendid specimens of manhood, who would excel in general athletics and make great records in all the games they entered, convert themselves into heavy ox-like fellows who can do nothing but lift, pull, and draw. SULLIVAN'S YOUTH. I did not fall into this mistake. I liked sparring, running and such sports, and when I went to work I got into trades where a man must be quick rather than strong and where he is in the open air a good deal of the time and is always doing something with his muscles. When I was eighteen I was about as tall as I am now, but I was smaller in other directions, I measured about 36 or 37 inches around the chest, weighed about 170 pounds and was about 31 inches about the waist. HIS TWO “DUKES.” I had a hearty appetite then and liked all sorts of foods, especially those that are plain and substantial. I had no rule, but ate and drank just as I felt like it. I ran a good deal toward meats and vegetables and very little toward faucy dishes, About this time I began to exercise regularly with a view to better myself in sparring and general condition. I did not know much about such things in those days, but took points of those of my friends that had less experience. Luckily for me, they were pretty well posted and their advice did me good. In my exercising I and let heavy work alone. Once or twice I was advised to try lifting machines and hea’ hts, but I never di might have ruined me. le who do heavy lifting you will find that muscles, though very large and often very hard, move very slowly and generally are un- even. They are what “knotted.” i i good while, work just 4m coremen ia ora ter gets““pumped” in no month of practice has gone b; Fate form. The man who g g i a i : ! F £ ue i uy high. These develop the lower part of the . For the u Itry hing the bee entail reas St nn ob meg f do not put much dependence on bells and clubs. IN TRAINING, There are some false notions about training. Many people think it is a serious process into which a man is converted in a mass of bone and muscle and is obliged to live a life of self denial under mechanical and very severe rules. It used to be so in the old days, but things have changed a deal in this Aman’s mind and temper should be kept good-natured while training, and there is the chief value of trainers. It is very hard for any py and healthy when he life all by self, Ex- ercise and training become monotonous and stupid in no time under such circumstances, He needs clever, entertaining trainers and le companions, Pleasant conversation, chaffing, satire, ridicule, and healthy laughter are good aids in training as well as at dinner. A pugilist in training spars far better and wrestles far better when he has an audience of friends he likes well than when he is alone. There seems to be a oe outery by the ey inst sociability on the part of mem- the ring which is opposed to these ideas, Its only value is against that sociability which involves dissipation and wasted —y- In all other respects it is the opposite of the truth, Joux L. Sunnivax, THE FANCIES OF FASHION. What the Ladies Will Wear During Their Summer Outing. Scanrs are coming with the hotter weather, and, as they will be rather more for ornament for warmth, they will be of gauze and of lace. Rureestoxe Bett Bucg.es are countenanced this summer. For Licut Wraps the Marie Antoinette and Charlotte Corday fichu take the lead. These may be made of cashmere, muslin, lace, crepe du chine, silk muslin, or of printed cotton to match the dress, and are finished with a frill of the same material or with lace. Sexvepozs form the trimming to some of the summer gowns, Strx Unprrwear in all colors continues fash- fonable. Black silk petticoats with pinked ruffles of the same are worn with dark dresses, and for gowns of lighter colors a petticoat of ecru pongee. Groves of chamois skin are used for shop- ping. A Warsr Bexr, which will come into general favor when boating and tennis shirts are worn, has narrow strips of tan leather, plaited and interplaited to the width of some three inches. It is in two shades, and both pliant and soft. Tuez ts nothing so dainty or refined as fine linen underwear. If made to order o lady selects her favorite vine or flower, or both, and has them embroidered on every article. Where color is desired the embroidery is sometimes doue in pale pink or blue, and narrow colored ribbons are run through lace insertion. Ecav Ponazs is used for petticoats. Lanoz, Sort Sixx Tins, the color of the gown, are being worn. For Trxxis Gowns the Scotch flannels, half wool and half cotton, are popular, as are also the striped cotton “outing cloths,” as they are of light weight and inexpensive. For nicer gowns the plain serge or flannel is chosen, or a soft surah silk, Lance Cuecxs are becoming popular for morning aprons, and some of the summer skirting for petticoats are in the same si Ax Oren Gorp Crczz set with rubies, two opals forming the ends, has two bars running across in buckle fashion, and is a brooch of re- cent origin, For Watxine Costumes the Utrecht velvet is quite the stylish thing, and the color must be dove-gray. This velvet resembles corduroy, and is made with a plain, straight skirt, and a Directoire coat, which is ornamented with big cut-steel buttons. A white surah chemisette is worn with this coat, and the hat should be of straw of the same color, trimmed with gray feathers and steel braid.

A Pen-Picture of Hong Kong and its Surroundings. AIT! OF THE FAR EAST THAT BUSTLES WITE ‘WRSTERX LIFE—THE DISCOMFORTS OF SUMMER A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF THE HARBOR—THE PO- LICEMEN AND THE CHINAMEN. From Tax Staz's Traveling Commissioner. Hoxe Koxa, June 5. The first sight of Hong Kong, the farthest outpost of the British empire, and the fourth Port in the world, is disappointing. As you ap- proach it from the north you enter a narrow and unimposing pass; then you discover a couple of sugar refineries covering the hills with smoke; and when the city of Victoria lies before you it is only St. John's or Viadivostock on alarger scale, It is piled up on the steep sides of the island without apparent purpose or cohesion, Few fine buildings detach them- selves from the mass; there is no boulevard along the water-front, and the greater part of the houses and offices in the immediate fore- ground, though many of them are in reality large and costly structures, look helter-skelter from a little distance. In one’s disappoint- ment one remembers Mr. Howell's caustic characterization of the water-front of New York—that after London and Liverpool it looks as though the Americans were encamped there. The face of Hong Kong is not its fortune, and anybody merely steaming by would never guess the marvel it grows on closer acquaintance, for a few weeks’ investigation transfigures this precipitous island into one of the most as- tonis! ing spots on the earth's surface. By an inevitable alchemy. the philosophe: tone of a few correlated facts transforms one’s disap- pointment into stupefaction. Shangai was a surprise, but Hong ‘Kong is a revelation. A BUSTLING CITY, When you land the inevitable 'ricksha carries you through a couple of streets, far from being beautiful or well-managed, but you forget this in the rush of life about you. Messengers jostle you, ’rickshas run over your toes, chair- poles dig you ribs. e hotel clerk smiles politely as he informs you that there has not been a vacant room for a month. Later on your fellow-passengers envy you the little rabbit-hole of a bed-ruom you have se- cured at the top of the club. When you come down again into the hall you find it crowded with brokers of many nationalities, makin, notes, laughing,-whispering, drinking, but al just as busy as they can be. Andon the walls and upon the tables are a dozen printed ‘‘ex- presses,” timed with the minute at which they were issued, and the mail and shipping noon and afternoon “extras” of the daily papers, an- nouncing the arrivals and departures of s' ers, the distribution of cargoes, the sales by auction and all the roultitudinous movements of a great commercial machine running at high pressure. For, to apply to the far east the ex- restive nomenclature of the far west, Hong Kong ‘just hums” all the time. Then the chair a friend has sent to take you to dinner arriy with its four coolies uniformed in blue-and-white calico, and by another twist of the kaleidoscope you find yourself, three min- utes after leaving the club, mounting an as- halt roadway at an angle not far short of lorty-five degrees, hemmed in above and on either hand by great green palms and enor- mous drooping ferns with fronds yards long. among which big butterflies are playing round long scarlet flowers, For as soon as you begin to ascend, the streets of Hong Kong might be alleys in the tropical conservatories at Kew. ON THE LOWER LEVEL. Hong Kong is built in three layers. The ground-floor, so to speak, or sea level, is the commercial part of the colony. The “Praya” along the water edge is given up to shipping, and is altogether unworthy of the place. It is about to be changed, however, by a magnificent undertaking, of which more by and by. The next cig artes to it, Queen’s road, is the Broadway o! ae 2 Kong, and all the business centers upon it. Inthe middle are the club, ost-office, courts and hotels; then come all the Panks and offices and shops; past these to the east are the different barracks and as one grad- ually gets further from the center, the parade ground, cricket ground, polo ground and race- course, and the wonderfully picturesque and pretty cemetery, the ‘Happy Valley.” In the other direction you pass all the Chinese shops for foreigners and then get into Chinatown, a quarter of very narrow streets, extremely dirty, inconceivably crowded, and probably about insanitary as any place on the globe under civil- ized rule. This is all on the island of rane Kong, while across the harbor, in the Britis territory of Kowloon, a new city is springing up —a splendid frontage ofwharves and warehouses, collection of docks, one of which will take any ship afloat except the new 10,000 tons Teutonic, of the White Star line; half a dozen summer palace among them; the pleasure gardens and kitchen gardens of the commu- nity and private residences rising rapidly. THE SECOND STORY, The second story of Hong Kong lios ten min- utes’ climb up the steep side of the island. Here nearly everybody lives, and lives, too, in a luxury and ease that are not suspected at home. Here is government house, a fine official residence in beautiful grounds, lacking only a ball-room, which compels Sir William and Lady Des Veux toturn dining-room and drawing-rooms upside down, to build a supper- room in the garden. and even to convert his excellency’s sanctum into @ bar, whenever Hong Kong society is invited to dance at gov- ernment house, which is very often the case in winter, If his excellency had not inaugurated so many schemes for enlargement and improve- ment in the colony itself, involving for the mo- mentallthe superintendence and labor and expense that can be spared, he would probably have felt justified in calling bs Hong Kong to build itself a ball-room in which it would be fittingly entertained. On this story of Hong Kong, too, is headquarter house, where Gen. Cameron and his family have just been suc- ceeded by Gen Edwards. And on this level are the wonderful streets I have already de- scribed, although one = a8 properly call Windsor a house as to ribe these palm- shaded walks and groves as streets. ‘THE PEAK. Finally, there is the third layer, the top story of Hong Kong, known collectively as “The Peak.” The peak itself is one of the highest of the hundred hills of the island, rising pre- ci po | behind the city to the signal stadon, 1,828 feet above the sea, where a gun anda flagstaff announce the arrival of mails and ocean steamers. But “The Peak” as a resi- dential district means all the hill-tops where cool breezes from the sea blow in summer, where one can sleep under a blanket at night, and where in @ word one can spend a summer in Hong Kong with a reasonable probability of being alive at the end of it. Here everybody who can afford it bas a second house, and so many are these fortunate people that the “top side” of the island is dotte over with costly houses and bungalows; there is one hotel and xii Bes ii F gS # if 8Fs aE i i i i ‘Telephone—Yard, 054-2; Branch office, 056-2. mh20 °™::—_————_=—=—=—=——_——— PIANOS AND ORGANS. ____ SUMMER RESORTS.

G. just given to him on his retire- ment as by no means a too generous recogni- tion of his services. Speaking of cut-throats reminds me that Hong Kong even now is not a particularly safe place. People avoid walking alone at night in one or two directions; every Sikh constable carries a rifle at =e and sev- eral rounds of ball cartridge, and if you hail asampan at night to go to dinner on board some ship in the harbor, the constable at the pier makes note of its riumber, in case ver Springs, Md.
