»UI |jii>lY»i'i "WW*- : WILLIAM BEACH, , The champion oarsman of the world, wh lias rocontly left our'shores to visit Eng laud and Aihoricfi, to "maintain aiu emphasizo his claims against, all-comers was burn at Aldcrton, in Surrey, 1 Eng- . land, in 1851, and. when fcwo ycnVs of age emigrated to Dapto, Lake Illnwarm, N.S.W, Ho wiis brought up. to hie father's trade, and while toiling like '& young Vulcan in tW smithy,, unconsciously dovcloped that magnificent physique which has since brought hiin'\vorld-wide distinction. When about 23 years of age, Beach commenced rowing on the Illawarra Lakes against local competitors; from the, outset he kept winning, until gradually handicapped out of all races. • Brioily stated,' his professional career is as follows Made his advent in 1830 in a handicap skiff race, at Wooloomooloo, and won, defeating P. Ward and J. M'Clerken ; rowed second to H. Pearce at Pyrmont Regatta three weeks later; defeated by Neil M'Donald at Anniversary Jiegatta in 1882, but aftonvards turned tlio tables' on M'Donald-; Gascoigne beat him; defeated Charles Reynolds, the light skiff rawer of Australia! in a aplchdii race on the Parrainattal Reynolds dropping out of his boat oxliausj ted; Solomon and other scullers acknowl leged his prowess; on the 7th March® 1882, first public appearance of. thfi champion in an outrigger in race fig Punch Trophy, and finished aocohtf'to Rush, both Trickett and Laycock being t in tho roar; defeated T. Clifford in light skiff race; beat Trickett live times out of nix matches; in 1883 was defeated by Trickett for Hunt Trophy, to decide who should meet Hanlan in place of Laycock (who was disabled)Laycock, however, recovered, and was beaten by Hanlan on 24th May, 1884 ; Beach defeated Hanlan on Kith August, 1884, greatly to the astonishment of all; defeated Hanlan again on 28th March, 1885, rowing him down in the earlier part of the race; just previously he had defeated Clifford; defeated Neil Mntterson on 10th December, 1885, with greatest ease, A man ' indulging in such severe strutrglen must, of necessity, feel the want of an aid t i nature in keeping his physical condition up to the highest obtainable point, and it is not surprising to us that Mr Beach candidly states that during his training, prerious to meeting Edward Hanlan the second time, for the world's championship his trainer procured for him Warner's safe cure, and lie used it with the happiest results. Mr Beach also took a supply with him on board the Cuzco, that he might have it constantly with him. His system of training involves a run of two or three miles before breakfast, a walk of six or seven milss afterwards, and a pull over the course. After dinner comes another twomile walk and a second pull over' the' course, during which he rowß himself right out, eases off, and then pullß again. A long walk concludes the day, and-lie goes to bed at nine o'clock. Beach carefully avoids spirits, and docs not smoke when training. If he feels a bit out of Borts, a restart of Wwner's safe cure Boon puts him all rightjagain. He rowa with sculls having blades of great width, those used by him in the niatchs with Hanlan being 0£ inches wide, 9 feet (i inches long, end 2 feet 8 inches in board, and ho rows his stroke clcuu out to the end, The champion carries with him the the heartiest wishes for his success from a federated Australasia, and the sincere belief that 1m will be equal to the task of .accomplishing all that his most ardent admirers hopo for.
