,/tffcer C ran brook's dimensions hud been ' jxDtted down, Abereorn was pub under the bSandard. with the folkwing result:—

The crack Australian steeplechaser Merojdcr, who was measured some time a»o, I shows that he is 2 V inches taller than Cran- '< brook, and measures 7 inches moite around i the p;iith, but Craubrook beats Him by half -an inch around the forearm.
