New Yobk, August 23. One of the big
gest men in the drycoods district is Clar
ence I. Collins, of "Whiting & Collins, of
. "Worth street. He has jnst returned to the
city after an arduous course of fat reduction
at the hands of John M. Laflin, -who proved
himself so nearly a match for Sullivan ou
November 10, 1885, and who once took at a
"World's Fair a prize or the nearest ex
hibited approximation to a perfect physique.
Mr. Collins, who is 6 feet 2 iu height and
weighs, after training, 212 pounds, has had
an immediate successor at this private
training school in the person of Senator
John C Jacobs, of Brooklyn. Many New
York business and professional men take a
private course of training of this sort every
summer. William Muldoon is said to have
trained a eood many men who are not prize
fighters and detest fighting. When Laflin
trains his pupils the utmost secrecy is
observed. It is only by accident that the
following facts about the self-imposed
regimen to which many prominent New
lo'kers nave submitted nave been obtained
by the writer.
A DAY'S TVOBK. .
Jnst before the rays of the sun gilded the
eastern horizon, after the wont of the 6. P.
R, James' horseman, two fishermen might
have been seen slowly wendinfr their way
from a hotel across Fire Island beach to the
sea. They were after hluefish and had
hardly gotten into their boat before two
other fignres quietly left the house and
struck briskly out across the sands to the
surf.
Heavy flannel shirts encased their mas
sive figures; neither of the two was less than
6 leet 2 inches in height and the muscles of
their lively legs played through knicker
bockers and woolen stockings. Tbey seemed
intent on escaping observation and covered
the half mile to the beach in about five min
utes. The fishermen were the only other
human beings in sight They watched the
two brown-faced giants with more curiosity
than the fish showed just then regarding the
bait
A TASTE OF THE SEA.
The two big men removed every .encum
bering Testment and plunged through the
breakers into the sea. They did not remain
in the water a minute, however, and in less
time than it takes to tell the tale were out
on the sand again, each rubbing the other
dry with a rough towel. Iu a minute more
they struck ont in a jog-trot along the
smooth beach, and had soon put a mile
between themselves and their clothes. Into
the surf they again plunged, breasting the
waves, swimming, diving and ducking each
other like a pair of schoolboys.
Five minutes more and they were again
on the now warm sand, rubbing eaoh other
briskly down with sand, plain, pure sandl
Even the sand seemed not to "take the am
bition out" of them. They faced about
toward their clothes and their swinging jog
trot soon brought them back to the point
from which they had started. There tbey
go again, head over heels and hand over
band in the breakers, a regular skylark! By
this time the bluefishermen are wondering
what they have struck. The big men
emerge, rub each other down again with
coarse crash and dress.
A BITE OP BBEAKFAST.
Then they start back to the hotel at a
brisk walk. The fishermen lose sight of
them regretfully, for Laflin and his pupil,
Mr. Collins, are such active, big brown
"boys" that the fishermen enjoy having
surprised them at their mysterious athletic
ceremonies. Follow them to the house.
They arrive with a glow in their eye, a bit
of red under the brown of the cheek, but not
the least bit blown. They eat a light
breakfast, chops or steak, eggs, toast and
cofiee, and then sit out on the porch and
take matters easily for an hour or two.
"When the second hour has expired, and it
is 9 o'clock, quick as clockwork the easy
restfnlness vanishes from the scene and the
men go up to Jheir rooms and appear five
minutes afterward in boating clothes. No
time is lost in getting into a -boat, after
which the bluefishermen see the athletes
strip themselves to the waist, and, each tak
ing up his big oar, away they pull in the
morning sunshine iu the face of a cracking
easterly breeze, until six miles have been
measured ott, and the oars move as quickly
as ever.
A BOW OP TWELVE MILES.
Every fiber alive with the warmth of their
work, every pore open to the air, the two
oarsmen stop the boat, pull on heavy
"en-caters" and row without loss of time or
diminution of speed back six miles to their
starting point When they disembark there
sot only isn't a dry stitch on them, but they
actually "lard" the sand as they walk
quickly back toward the house. Once in
their rooms they sponge their bodies with
tepid water, and sally gayly out again
through the morning groups of lazy, list
less, pleasure-seekers or idlers for a mile
swim in Great South Bay.
A mile swim may be nothing for pro
fessional swimmer to boast of. But it is a
good deal more than most amateurs not in
training care to attempt There is nothing
in the way of exercise that so quickly tests
a man's wind as swimming. The athletes,
who seem to be making a day of it, return
without delay to their quarters and rub each
. other down. By this time they have appe
tites as robust as their forms, and tbey get
into loose flannel clothes and sit down to
dinner prepared to do ample justice to it
TWO HOUES OP EASE.
After observing a morning's "work" of
this kind not only the blue-fishermen, but
the summer resort visitors, fall a wondering
what in the name of Hercules the big men
are going to find to do after dinner! So they
watch with considerable interest the two
hour interval of perfect rest which follows
the midday meal. The Herculeses smoke,
loll in a hammock or in easy chairs, write
letters, read novels and the newspapers.
They are evidently not undergoing an intel
lectual regimen. But in just two hours they
are hard at it again on an upper balcony, on
which their apartments open, swinging In
dian clubs as if their further existence de
pended on it, not laboriously or with any
appearance or effort, however, but precisely,
easily and accurately.
Before the visitors below have ceased to
admire the grace with which the big men
swing their wooden playthings, the athletes
have set them away in a corner and without
a moment of apparent interlude have donned
the g'oves and are punching away at each
other's jaw and rattling each other's bread
baskets and tapping each other's ivories.
CLETEE WITH THE GLOVES.
This pleasing performance, with Laflin
as a participant, would attract a crowd of
spectators anywhere, for he is conceded to
be the cleverest big man in the country,

For an hour they are at it hammer and
tongs, and if there is a portion of the hu
man anatomy which, by the expiration of
that time, has not been stirred and stimu
lated it is probably unknown even to clever
anatomists.
This bout is followed, of course, by a rub
down, which must finish all altbletie bouts
to he productive of good results: and this
time the rub-down is with alcohol, which
exercises a pungent and stimulating effect
In 10 minutes the recent antagonists descend
in sweaters and start along the beach for a
good walk of several miles. On the return,
when a mile remains yet to be done, both
strike a jog-trot which pace is not aban
doned until they put loot once more on the
hotel porch.
A BEAIi GOOD SWEAT.
TJpstairs they go without pause, and the
candidate for a slim waist is bundled by his
trainer into a roll of blankets, where for 20
minutes or so he lies on the bed, perspiring
so freely, he says, he actually feels the sur
plus melting away.
The day's work for who says it lsn t?
is nearly done. After 25 minutes of this
blanket sweat Laflin rubs his man down
with alcohol again. By this time, suppos
ing the training to have been in progress a
week, the subject's skin is as smooth and al
most as firm as the surface of a well-planed
board. Until about 5:30 there is nothing
more to attract the idler's attention to the
rooms where the "circus" has been in prog
ress. At or about that hour thebig men
come down stairs once more, with steps
springier a good deal than any schoolboy's
is that late in the day, and saunter away for
another long swim in salt water. After that
there is nothing but rest, and the man about
town who is taking a course for the im
provement of his figure is sure to think the
rest has come none too soon.
EAELT TO BED.
After a plain hot supper, which is enjoyed
as a man about town never enjoyed his
meals about town, the big men set on their
porch awhile not lor many minutes, and
then go to bed.
Senator John Jacobs, of Brooklyn, is now
undergoing a course of training exactly
sneb as is described above from life. Other
well-known New York and Brooklyn men
have been going through such a course
every summer for years. Senator Jacobs is
taking 30 days of it and expects to have
banished long before the expiration of that
period the touch of rheumatism which has
been annoying him of late.
I bad a talk with Laflin just after he be
gan on Mr. Jacobs. He was in the pink of
condition, for in training his pupil he neces
sarily trains himself. He looked every inch
the original of the photographs taken in
Vienna in '73 when he was selected out of a
score of selected candidates as the most per
fectly formed of them all, and received a
gold medal so declaring.
HOW THE STSTEM WOEKS.
"The first day I took Mr. Collins out,"
said Laflin, "he couldn't run a quarter of a
mile without pnfiing, and a swim of 100
yards exhausted him. The last day we
spent down here together he could and did
without exhaustion row 12 miles, walk
ten miles, spar an hour and swim a
mile. , I spent 18 days with him, just
such days as you have" described. When
we began he weighed 230 pounds, when we
concluded, 218 pounds. Most of that
superfluous 12 pounds came off from round
his stomach and loins.
"I began with Senator Jacobs on August
2. He is about 5 feet 10 inches in height
and at that time weighed 195 pounds. He
ought to weigh about 185 pounds, and I
wouldn't be surprised to see him reduced to
that before September.
WOUITDN' WOOL.
"What clothes will he wear during this
month? All woolen, of course. To begin
with, he has a good 'sweater;' that is, a
long-armed woolen shirt, fitting closely to
the figure and weighing about our pounds.
Then come 'winter' undershirts and
drawers of flannel and corduroy knee
breeches. Heavy walking shoes, laced well
around the ankles to strengthen them, and
long woolen stockings are essential. On the
head is worn a light cap or a well-ventilated
straw hat; an old one with holes punched in
it is best
"By no means least important is the band
age of ordinary flannel, about 8 inches wide,
which every fleshy man should wear wrapped
four or five times about his abdomen. Of
course, in such cases my client pays mine as
well as his own hotel bill and all other ex
penses, and a month's training costs him
about ?500." j. p. b.
