Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rowing My Thanks are due to the proprietors of the Daily News and of the English Illustrated Magazine for permission to include in this book the substance of articles originally contributed to their columns. I have not added to the Appendix any lists of winning crews, as these are to be found very fully and accurately set out in the Rowing Almanack, published every year at the office of the Field. For the rest, I have endeavoured to make the rowing instructions which will be found in this book as concise as was compatible with perfect clearness, assuming at all times that I was addressing myself first of all to the novice. No doubt other oarsmen will differ here and there from my conclusions. Absolute unanimity on every detail of rowing is not to be expected. All I can do is to assure my readers that nothing has been set down here the truth and accuracy of which I have not proved - at least, to my own satisfaction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Rowing Almanac and Oarsman's Pocket Companion, 1874 It was a great source of pleasure and pride to find my little work of so much practical service - as at all the numer ous races and regattas which I attended I saw it in many hands and often used. The second issue, 74, now in your possession, is much more perfect and beautiful in its mechanical construction than the first, and in the Appendix to the Almanac of '73, which is added to this edition, will be found a number of corrections and records of races previously omitted on account of the very imperfect reports of aquatic events prior to the establishment of Our Boating Department' in the Tmf, Field and Farm, and which have since come to hand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Oarsman: With Fifty-Nine Illustrations I wish to express my grateful acknowledgments to the following: - To the Editor of Fry's Outdoor Magazine for permission to incorporate in this volume the substance of an article contributed to his magazine; To the Leander Club for permission to reproduce two engravings belonging to the Club; To the First Trinity Boat Club for permission to photograph the ancient rudder and sculls in the possession of the Club; To Messrs. Blackwood and Sons for permission to reprint "The Perfect Oar" from "Crumbs of Pity," published by them; and To the Editor of the Rowing Almanack for permission to reproduce in the Appendix the tables of winning crews. I have endeavoured to illustrate the various movements and positions of the stroke by means of photographs. It was, of course, impossible for me to obtain the services of an eight-oared crew for this purpose, and I have had to confine myself, therefore, chiefly: (1) to photographs of a single individual, and (2) to photographs of a pair-oar, both at rest and in motion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rowing: Complete Manual, With Illustrations and Valuable Advice; Laws of Boat Racing An oarsman about to row, having taken his oar in hand, should proceed to embark. This he should do by laying the blade of his oar in the water, if on the outside, or on the float if on the shore-side oar, and then stepping into the boat with his face to the stern, putting one foot on the keelson, lengthwise not athwart it, for fear of forcing his toe or heel through the boat - and stooping, should let himself down gently on the seat by placing aband on each gunwale. He should next ship his oar, placing the handle in the rowlock outside. He should sit square and exactly opposite the handle of his oar, not askew. The body should be erect, with the shoulders slightly thrown back and the elbows close to the flanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rowing written by E. J. Giannini and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rowing: Complete Manual With Illustrations and Valuable Advice The standard of rowing is maintained by the universities and col leges of Yale, llarvard, Pennsylvania and Cornell hythe preparatory schools - St. Paul's in particular - and by the principal rowing and athletic clubs - New York A. C., Atlanta, Nassau, Dauntless and many others too numerous to mention. Of course, club matches - in which the generic term may be included college and other races at the universities - tend to uphold it. That it should fluctuate from time to time is a necessity, and that in occasional years it is of an exceptionally good class is only natural, as likewise that in others, it falls to a comparatively low pitch. Speed has increased - of that there is no doubt. The science of coaching is more fully known and more readily comprehended than in days gone by, and, when divested 0f the humbug and bewildering technicalities with which it had been needlessly surrounded, is found a far simpler task than it was believed to be. The art of training has been rescued from the depths of empiricism, in which it was too long suffered to dwell and in which the ignorant prejudices of illiterate professionals, who at one time usurped the coaching of amateurs, purposely kept it. At the present time it is conducted on the principles of common sense and hygiene, and so far from being involved in mystery, is now noth ing more nor less than an adhesion to a few simple rules of bathing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rowing and Sculling While it is intended here to discuss the whole art and its concomitants from first principles upwards, it must not be supposed that these chapters are capable of, or aspire to, teaching rowing from first principles to a tyro who has never handled an oar. Some writers on the subject have attempted such a style of education, commencing even with an abstract definition of what rowing or sculling, as the case may be.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Rowing: A History of Boat-Racing at Oxford From the Earliest Times, With a Record of the Races Besides these, we have to thank many correspondents, too numerous to mention individually, to whose kind ness in answering letters it is due that there are so few gaps in our records. We are, above all, indebted to the officers of the various boat clubs, who have placed their books so un reservedly at our disposal. We are happy to have been able to some extent to return this kindness, by having been the means of restoring the long-lost records of one boat club to its college, and we hope that the publication of other losses may lead to yet further restorations. With regard to these records we would urge most strongly that in every case they should be duplicated, and that one copy should be kept in the college library. They pass through so many hands, and, sooner or later, they are sure to come into the custody of the careless or casual, and when lost it is impossible that they should be replaced.

Download or read book Edward Hanlan written by W. H. C. Kerr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edward Hanlan: A Lay of Young Canada Ment. The result added another to his list of victories. Louden challenged him to row an other race, over a mile course, for $100 dollars a side, in the summer of 1875, and they met on Toronto Bay, Hanlan again showing himself to be the better man, as he won by nearly two lengths. During the same season he won a medal offered by the Governor General in a two-mile pull at Toronto, defeating Louden and J ames Douglas. In the spring of 1876 he vanquished Douglas and Wm. Mcken, and on August 12th following became possessed of the belt emblematic of the championship of Ontario, offered by the Toronto Rowing Club, his only opponent being mcken. At this regatta Hanlan likewise won a fisherman's race, three 'pairs of sculls, his partners being mcken and Elliot, and the craft engaged being boats actually in use that summer. All of these races were of minor importance, however, and the reputation they brought was but local. It remained for Hanlan to give the rowing world a startling surprise at the Centennial regatta on the Schuylkill River, when his name became known on both sides of the Atlantic, through the ease with which he won the first prize in the professional regatta, defeating Harry Coulter, Pat Luther.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on Steam Tactics and Rowing-Boat Evolutions A otilla of rowing-boats, for war purposes, can be most advantageously managed upon the same general system, as that adapted for steam ships; and most of these observations, and the signals appended to them, are common to both. The cases in which the evolutions of asteam squadron, would not be suited for boats, or in which those for boats, would not be adapted to steam ships, are obvious and very few; and a distinct code for each is, there fore, unnecessary.
