I Arat met Bir William Burgess in 1900 at the Olymple Games at Paris, when he represented France in the races against the awimmers of England, Germany, Holland, Balgiam and Hungary. He then struck me as a man who would not attempt great task unless ho was prepared for it. He has since taken part in many long. distance events in the Seine, his best effort being when he covered nearly 28 miles in 24 hours, thereby beating such well-known long-distanco swimmers na Helbin Bagland, Paulus and Bougoin of France, Each of his and Cattaniù of Italy. attompta to skim the Channel showed that 1304 he had the necessary stamina for the task and I am extremely glad that he has now schiared the object of his life, although not in, auch fast time as Captain Webb, who swam the Channel in 21 hours 45
