A FAULTLESS BEER The following article appears in United States Trade Reports, a ication devoted to financial, agricultural and mechanical inter- ests: \ There has been considerable discus- sion of the different kinds of beer since 50 much attention has been given to the discussion of pure food products, and many are found to give bad after-efects. _ The United States Trade Reports has al- ways fearlessly discussed such topics as are of general interest to its readers, and we have received several letters goncerning the different kinds of beer on the market. We are asked to recom- bel the best and purest, and which had effects after drinking. We have made a careful investigation locally, also referring the matter to our fatives in all the principal cities. We feel justified in saying that the beer which we find to surpass all others in purity and cleanliness is made ; 4 the Dotterweich Brewing Co, of N.Y. The above named firm stands high In the commercial world, and is well known for its business tact and enterprise, as well as for its integrity.

Daniels, of the New York Ath letic club, at 4:29 After the race Alea Meflfert, director of the Missouri Ath. | letic clab, on behalf of Schwarz chal | lenged Handy, through his manager Frank Sullivan, to a return match Inj the Missouri club's tank The most] important feature of the contest was | the competition between two entirely | different strokes as swum by Handy| and Schwarz Schwarz swims the dou | ble overhand otherwise called the four-arm stroke. He takes four strokes two with each arm—to every kick he | makes. Handy is aa exponent of the new crawl stroke Schwarz is big and] powerful and depends largely upon hie | heavy legs for motive power Handy | on the other hand. relies solely upon his arms, allowing his legs to trail mo- | tionless behind him, that all his $1004 may go to his upper limbs. At present he is the only man in the world whe swims In this manner to any extent.| So revolutionary and tiring is this new | stroke that outside of Goodwin, of New York, no man has been able to hold it for over 100 yards and he can not keep it up beyond the furlong dis | tance, though even such a performance, has been marveled at by the east One| man, an Australian, once covered a h \ 330 was unable to introduce the element] of speed in connection.

He made the mark with the side stroke and is of the opinion that ft will again be- come popular be- fore long with aquatic stars. Mef- fert at the time was only 16 years old. After he had cove ered the distance in little more than 30 minutes, all the swimmers begap the side stroke, and it was not | long before the novices were contest | ing in manner “After 1 Intro | duced the side stroke and established | the record for a mile,” said Meffert,| “all the swimmers took it up, and for | eight or ten years it was the leading | style of swimming In this country, The| others had always been using the] breast stroke and underarm side] stroke, but most of the swimmers | found the side stroke easier and soon] adopted it. About ten years ago W. C Johnson, of the New York Athletic] club, won the 100-yard championship, with the trudgeon stroke, which is now so popular with the swimmers, Afte: he introduced this new stroke the side motion saw its decline and the shortet distance swimmers began learning the trudge. It went well at first for the short distances, but many pronounced it too tiring for a mie Several swim mers finally mastered it for the big distances and about five years ago be gan swimming a mile.
