...connection with the introduction of novelties in the winter meetings, we would call attention to the notice which appears to-day in regard to forming a class for spring-board leaping. Mr. Lathrop is to have charge of this class. He wishes if possible to select a few to give an exhibition next Saturday. A week is a very short time to put men into condition for such an event, hence we would urge particularly those who have had experience in this line of gymnastics to come forward and do what they can to make the scheme a success. There...
...Lathrop is to start a class this afternoon at four o'clock in spring board leaping. All those who have ever turned somersalts off the spring board or would like to learn how, are urged to join. The class will meet daily at 4 and the best men will be selected to give an exhibition next Saturday...
...true foundation for permanent success is, I believe, in the employment of a trainer like Mr. Lathrop, and in the careful scientific study with chronographs and scales and instantaneous photographs of the best methods of applying the muscular strength...
...multitude of counsellors. An enthusiastic coach cannot have permanent success with a crew unless he trains the crew systematically. I am firmly of the opinion that the crew should be constantly under the training of a man who makes it his profession in the sense that Mr. Lathrop makes it his profession to train the candidates for the Mott Haven team.

This, as I have said, I believe to be at the foundation of permanent success, but I regard it of equal importance that scientific experiments should be conducted on the best methods of applying strength to the oar. There are those who believe in straight back rowing and there are those who are advocates...
