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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ... will not be a single racing shell built for American waters to carry a coxswain. In regard to a race in which all other things are equal, and one crew carries a coxswain, and in the other the bow oarsman steers, "the result," says Com. Benj. F. Brady, "depends upon what kind of coxswain one crew has, and what kind of a bow-oarsman the other.' This is the whole thing in a nutshell, and should be taken into consideration, by those who imagine that the mere fact of a crew not carrying a coxswain will ensure them victory over another which employs one. What Americans claim is, that a bow-oarsman can, with sufficient practice, and there are scores who have it, do his work at the oar and steer the boat as well. This is denied by most Englishmen, who assert the impossibility of a man's "doing two things at one time," as a sufficient reason for understanding why one man cannot fill the two offices, of oarsman and steerer, while they are afraid to test their system with the American, by entering one of their boats with a "worse than useless" against an American boat steered by the bow oar. However, they will ultimately be obliged to adopt this system, as, although many of their oarsmen are obstinate and determined to frown down foreign "innovations," there are many others who are liberal-minded men, disposed to look favorably on anything likely to advance the cause. The eoxswainless boats are to be seen upon almost every boating course in America, and are doubtless familiar sights to every reader of this book. The bow-oarsman has his feet placed against a cross-piece in the bottom of the boat, to which are attached, one on each side, two wire lines, reaching aft through small "eyes" to the rudder, making a miniature "walking-beam" in the boat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of American Pastimes: Containing a History of the Principal Base Ball, Cricket, Rowing, and Yachting Clubs of the United States IN presenting this volume to that portion of the public who are identified with, and interested in, the progress of Aquatics, Base Ball, and Cricket, the author does not intend to enter into a long dissertation on the value of these pastimes, as he believes that within the past few years the people of the United States have become fully aware of the lasting benefits which a judicious system of out door recreation confers upon the youth of a nation. Having been engaged in the reporting of out-door sports for several New York journals for more than twenty years, for two years past we have devoted the greater portion of our leisure time to obtaining the material for these pages It has been a work of patient labor, as we were obliged to Open a correspondence with nearly every organization identified with the pastimes of which we treat, in the country, in order to collect the desired information.

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.

Pearson, Mr. C. W. Moore, Mr. J. Gibbons, Mr. Alan Williams and others who have answered questions that we have asked them on certain details that were not otherwise clear. We are especially grateful to Miss J. E. Blyth, a Daughter of the first Captain of the Club, for an extract from her Father's diary recording the names Of the crew that rowed Head of the River in 1833, and for the loan of his portrait from which one of the most interesting of the illustrations is reproduced. For the other illustrations we have to thank Messrs. Steam and Sons, Dr. A. C. Pearson, and others, for the use Of photo graphs for reproduction. We desire to take advantage of this, our only Opportunity of expressing our thanks to those members of the College Whose support has enabled us to publish our work at a time when the cost of production is so great.

We refrain from mentioning their names, as we are confident that they would prefer that their generosity should remain anonymous. Any corrections or additions will be most gratefully received by the authors, and will be duly forwarded to the Boat Captain of the time to be preserved among the Club records for future reference. Finally, we should like to appeal to future Secretaries of the Club to make their minutes and reports complete, accurate, and legible, and by doing this to show a marked contrast to the efforts Of many Of their predecessors.

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.
