NEW TOniC, June 29,-At the newest
swimming pcol In town women are taking
lesnnns In nj fVvatlofi for the coming mm
mtr.amps.tgn and In addition they ari
l.sling avenmg swimming parlies.
The fun if a awlm beween tha after
theaer I'j r and tha post-theater suppr
t as proxed alluring, and, while In a parly
cf fourteen only half a dozen may care for
1.14 swim, t lie others have the pleasure of
1 ting on tue polished wood bank In com'
foi table ccairs and making comments on
tba grace, skill, agility, and embonpoint of
those in the water.
This Is the frivolous side of the pool
The serious aide of It In presented by the
instructor. Charles Holroyd, who has In
jiuife ruMe medals for hia skill and was for
even c.ns Instructor of the swimming
classes at t'nlumbla university.
As a cosmopolitan who has witnessed and
parttctpHied In marvy contests, he declared
that tha swimming of tho AmerUan ama
teurs as exhibited In ocean resorts, In
lakes and rivers Is far below the standard
thn'.lhey should maintain. With the op
I' tun.TTej. t'JJWtt-and practice so abund
ant, the Atmeican should pay more atten
tion to this useful and enjoyable sport.
TV a believe that the trouble Is to be
found In the IndltTerence with which the
American amateur regards all matters of
alhlmlo training. He Is content to let well
enough alon He tries many things and
achieves distinction in none. The Indiffer
ent displayed by the amaiour swimmer re
acts on the nuetdton of Instruction, and,
there being little demand for knowledge ot
tha technicalities, there are in consequence
few carabla Instructors.
"The man you may see swimming at
Manhattan beach at Brighton or at half a
hundred resorts easy ( to recall Is siyiken
of as a One swimmer if h can go far out
from shore and return safely, " Holroyl
aid. "That is not fine swimming; It Is
Just swimming.
"It Is merely a matter of keeping afloat.
while the really fine swtmmer may not go
far out. A man who knew the technique
of this profession mtild see a dot en wav
1n which 1he so-called fine swimmer could
be Improved, his wrk made easier, more
graceful and his eneirgy saved.
"People who stt on the hesjrrie and
watch never talk tmderstsndlngly on the
subject. 'Isn't he an elegant swimmer:1
they will say: and. asked why, they have,
onty that Inex-ltable answer that he Is be
yond the life llns. The really fine point,
the sweep of the arm. the cutting the
water without slashing, the proper lea
movement, the change of position, are all
innoted: but If he goes far out. blowing
and splashing, he whteves distinction.
That Is whr a swimming pool In a eUv
Is good Institution. It arouses tisreet
and gives pWiple an otwinrtunity to do a war
with preliminaries, nn that when the vaca
tion cornea they can enjoy the ocean to the
fullest xfletrt. f
"Down on the river front and along the
Battery I have watched the noted East
Side boys who are spoken of and written
about at being phenomenal swimmers. It
is said that they have wonderful talent
In that direction.
"If so It Is absolutely undeveloped. They
are water rats, but if they would try to
learn thojr could no doubt turn out fine
swimmers. As it Is they dive and chase
each other and swim any old way and If
they keep up are content.
"That is not fine swimming not at all.
It la necessary to understand that there Is
a technique and then to follow It. Without
system nothing can be accomplished.
"You take half a dozen boys, give thorn
the freedom of a gymnasium with ap
paratus as to the use of which they are:
unfamiliar and at the end of a certain time
they will no doubt achieve results of more
or less note. But If you had provided an
instructor who would conserve energy and
train it rightly you would be astonished at
tho records made. The illustration holds
good with swimming."
Asked In regard to the various strokes,
the swimming master cast a vote In favor
of the overarm side stroke.
"This I consider the most economical of
any, and economy of strength Is the great
factor to be considered," he said. "This
stroke, which Is the popular favorite, can
be used with equal advantage for a short
or a long distance, and while the crawl is
too vigorous for a woman, generally speak
ing, she can use the overarm side as well
as a man can.
"As the names Indicate, the underarm
side stroke Is used without raising the
arms out of the water and the overarm Is
used above, raising the weight slightly with
every motion, but keeping the body below
the water as much as Is possible with the
stroke, for the more weight you get above
the harder It Is to swim.
The course of nSodern Instruction begins
with the breast stroke, which Is still used
by many good fuv':-.mrrs, and that Is, I
believe the one employed by Captain Webb
In crossing the English channel.
"After that swimming on the back Is
taught to give the pupil an understanding
of how fatigue may be lessened by chang-
whlch classifies all people who have to be
assisted In the water In three divisions:
the absolutely exhausted swimmer, the
non-swimmer who has simply lost con
fidence and who Is oftentimes In great
dancer himself and Is liable to make the
ouestion of rescue fraught with some
danger to the rcsouer.
"In this last case it Is merely a matter
of Inspiring confidence In the frightened,
which can usually be done by swimming
alongside and talking. As a general thing
It Is not necessary to touch the person at
all, as the trouble comes from a mental
elate and can be treated mentally.
"The swimmer who Is -exhausted but
retains his presence of mind can be helped
by a Bhoulder on which ha can lean until
he has recovered. If he Is thoroughly
exhausted be must be grasped by the arm,
the biceps usually, so that ha cannot get
an opportunity to grasp In return.
"Fear is tha Initial difficulty with which
the pupil has to contend. ' Sometimes It
may take many lessons before this Is eradi
cated; again, confidence may be immedi
ately established. Hera the personality ot
the intruder counts and the teacher who
knows his profession will not try to force
the feeling In any way.
"This fear Is oftentimes Implanted by
wrong training In youth. An Englishman
whom I taught in a few lessons told me
how, when a boy at a private school at
home, he was thrown Into the water while
the teacher, waiting on the bank, used a
pole to poke him back. So great a terror
was Inspired that he could not learn, and
for years the sight of the water made him
shudder.
"That was the old system, which was
sometimes efficacious, but oftentimes It
was responsible for many after effects of
nervousresa. Today we believe that the
beginner must learn to love tha water by
degrees, must make Its acquaintance grad
ually and little by little acquire the com
plete confidence that comes only with
time.
"After considerable experimenting I have
Invented a scheme which Is quite' effica
cious In this respect. I tell the pupil to
take a bowl of water, and after Inhaling a
Ing the position. After that. In
due order, came the side strokes,
which comprise the under arm
and tho over arm atready spoken
of, as well as the double over
arm, In which both arras are
lifted alternately, the body
swayed slightly from side to
side and a quick and graceful
movement established.
"With these side strokes per
fectly learned and practiced the

Nearly Every Price Represents a Saving of One-h&Jf
T
OMORROW we begin a sale of 4,000 Rugs at prices we would not have believed possible a month ago. The sale is
possible now only because one of the greatest weavers in the east one of the greatest in the world, in fact de
cided to close out in a lump all the rugs they had on hand before starting the looms on next season's goods.
Since the Hartman concern sells more rugs than any other store, combination of stores or syndicate in America,
they naturally come to us with their propositon. The great weavers had no time to bother with the remainder.
so they said out they go with a big quick loss, and the mill was cleared for further work. A bold move, surely, but
that sort of management always wins.
lu addition to the nips mentioned we hnve marked down
nearly 2,000 from our regular stock; some are remainders of
lines not to be re-ordered, others are of lines we could not re
order if we would, not being made any more, and some are of
patterns that represent odds and ends on which wc are willing
to take half price in order to close out.
