.... An interesting discussion has taken place in the Times on the question of long-distance running for boys, Mr. J.

Mr. A. R. Churchill, a barrister of the Tam- ple, replied to the above as follows :-

1 can only say that, from a practical point of view one has merely to quote the names of Lord Alverstone, the Earl of Jersey, Sir C. B. Lawes-Witterwronge, and the two donors of the Harrow challenge cups to prove that men who were distinguished in their boyhood and youth at long-distance, ruqning, even in later years exhibit nons of that 'physical wreckage which Mr. Farmer dreads so greatly and with apparently such little reason,
By all means insist upna medical inspection of the competitors, in accordance with the rule that prevails at Rugby, the home of cross- country ruoning in England. But let it be conducted by those who mingle with athletes day by day and have the very best opportuni- ties of witnessing tucir varying conditions,

* Il my own personal experience is of value, I may perhaps be excused in ladulging in a little autobiography.." Whilst at Harrow I fre. quently ran long distances on the road, the most trying of all tracks, and usually finished by running up to the top of the hill at the end: at Cambridge I ran almost every day in the winter months from October to April. When I came down I was frequently warned-by- friends (1c) that I must have overstrained my heart and other organs.
"Yet this summer I was able to swim across the currents of the estuary of the River Ranca from Dizard Cale to St. Malo Lighthouse; and I am now ready and willing to walk, from London to Brighton within 12 hours, if I can | find a companion.

Mr. Churchill,, by giving the names of five long distance runners, who he tells us have nor dathaged their hearts by the strain, can hardly claim that he has shown that long distance racing is desirable for boys, or that his opinion on a purely medical question is worthy of equal consideration with that of those who signed the original letter in answer to which he writes,
