MAN'S SUPERIORITY.
NO OTHER ANIMAL MATCHES HIM IN
PHYSICAL ENDURANCE..
„In a short distance race-anything up to sixty or savanty miles-between a man and a -borse the man would certainly be vanquished, But as the distance increased the man'a chances would become greater. Man's running -- record for sixty miles in 7 hours 30 minutos. 39 feconds-a record which a good borse could" beat. But how many horses would equal man's running record for 100 miles, vi, 13 hours 26 niinutes 30 seconds? And supposing a horse were found capable of accomplishing this feat could such an animal-continue moving, as the man did, till he had covered 150 miles in 12 hours 28 minutes 25 seconds?
Nor did the particular man, [Charles Rowell of Cambridge, ceass work even at 150 miles. On the contrary, ba put up a record of 380 miles in 79 hours 40 minutes 25 seconds. Mora than one horse, I imagine, would have been needed to cover such a distance in such a time. Yet Rowell's feat by no means represents the limit of this particular form of human endur- Ance. P. Fitzgerald of New York covered soo miles in 1cg hours 18 minutes 20 seconds, and George Littlewood of Sheffield 613 miles in 141 hours 57 minutes 30 seconds. Where, then, would your horse be in a really long race?
One of the greatest difficulties to be over. came in the performance of feats of this de- scription is the doing, more or less, without sleep. In this particularly trying. form of en durance..a man holds record that no living creature-with the exception of a salmon or a Koldfish-could ever hope to equal,
In October, 1808, Capt. Barclay of Ury made a match for 1,000 guineas with Mr. Wedder burn Webster to walk 1,000 miles in 1,000 can- secutive hours-one mile in each separate hour. The start was made on June 1, 1809, at Newmarket Heath and the course was a public road. Capt. Barclay was 16 years old at the time and weighed at the outset 13 stone 4 pounds. The feat was deemed impossible, but the captain displayed such pluck and endur- ance that after a time odds of a to i were laid oa bis accomplishing it. Before the faith these adds zoED 10 100 lot. The last mits was concluded on July 11 at 3.37 p.m. and the match won.

strian marvel named William Galo, who in September and October, 1877, walked 1,500 miles in 1,000 hours, each mile and a half walk to be started at the commencement of the hour. The present writer saw the finish of that gigantic task. Gale, who was 45.years of age, appeared thoroughly done up. In the last walk but one it seemed as if he could everfinish. Then, to every one's amazement, he pulled himself together and positively sprinted the final journey, amid the frantic cheers of the onlookers. The two last mentioned achieve- ments have put our four-legged friends com- pletely out of court, but even they do not re- present the full extent of men's powers in this. direction.
Starting on Thursday, May 10, 1898, and concluding on the evening of June 6 W. Buckler of Newport, Monmouthsire, walked 4,000 quarter miles in 4,000 consecutive periods of 91 mioutes each, commencing at the beginning of each period.
The majority of animals know how to swim by instinct. They bave not to acquire the art, as man has, and yet, compared to man, how feeble they appear for the most part. On land it is admitted that man in a short distance contest must play second fiddle. In the water save as regards creatures, whose natural habitat it is-a different story has to be told Dogs swim well and fast, but where is the dog who would "live with "Joseph Nuttall or any other first class man over the length of a bath, or a hundred yards? If it comes to endurance, again does any one believe there is a quadruped in existence-except the hippopotamus, who would be poisoned by the salt water--that could swim the Channel? Yel Capt. Webb did this, while Montagu Holbein and others bave made valiant attempts that have deierved, if they have not achieved, success.
Drop a good swimming nan and a dog in the water two or three miles from land-which would have the better chance of life? The man, beyond a doubt,
If you take a man from the street and set him to leap a bar waist high he will probably fail to clear it.. Yet at the inter-university sports of 1676 Marshall Brooks walked under the bar with his cap on, and then, cleared it, the jump being 6 feet 2 inches still the varsity record. But in jumping as new prac- tised the honours go to Ireland. M. F. Sweeney bas cleared 6 feet 5 inches in the high jump and P.O'Connor 24 feet 11 inches in the wide jump-both world's records.
Jumping "with weights," as the old timè, professionals always used to do, Joba Howard of Bradford cleared 29 feet 7 inches on the racecouse at Chester on May 8,1854. Be used EXPRESSES, 5 pound dumbbells and "took off" from a block of wood raised 4 inches above the ground The distance covered was within 8 feet of the longest known jump by a horse-the 37 feet of Chandler, an Warwick Tacecouse, March 22, 1847. Curiously, Chandler's great leap was made in taking a hurdlet

John Howard also gained fame by leaping a full sized billiard table lengthways- feat requiring pluck as well as leaping powers, Judging by the way he cleared Butler's leap at Rugby, and by the fact that he could do 21 foot wide as well as over 6 feet high, it is pro bable that Brooks, the Oxonian, would also bave been successful in this back risking effort had be essayed it,
