The publication of the present volume is due to a settled conviction upon our part that there existed a necessity for a permanent work on the subject of Rowing, at a reasonable cost, and obtainable at all times. It is by no means the first nor the only treatise of this nature in book form, nor is it likely to be the last. “Annuals,” unless backed up with sufficient paying advertisements to cover the expense of getting up, have gone from our gaze, leaving the work begun unfinished, and, consequently, a void which needed filling. We, therefore, have undertaken to meet this want by a compilation of the best theories from the best authorities, interspersing the reading matter with portraits from life photographs of the most * noted oarsmen of the present century, many of which appear now for the first time. This was an expense no one cared to incur heretofore, no matter how enthusiastic otherwise, and we believe our having done so will be universally appreciated, and, in due course, remunerated.

I THE MODERN OARSMAN. INTRODUCTION. "We believe boat-rowing extended back and was identical with the time of the first sailing craft; no matter of what description. F'shermen have always existed, and it is pretty certain they did not depend on the sails alone in following their calling. The Africans, Indians, and other untutored savages have always been skillful boating men in their way, that is, propelling their canoes by means of one oar, and paddling or sculling from the stern of the boat, not as in modern sculling by means of a pair of sculls. The ancients conducted their maritime wars principally by means of gigantic row-boats, manned by brawny ath¬ letes. Later on, when civilization introduced “men-of- war” ships, the boarding and capturing of an enemy’s Vessel -was done by their crews rowing in open boats, ex¬ posed to the cannon’s fire, and going into the very jaw3 of death. From these facts, nothing was more natural than that, in times of peace, the marines and sailors should practice rowing very extensively, both for recreation and usefulness. In Cleopatra’s time (B. C. 50), while men were not as proficient in rowing as our oarsmen are at the present time, there has certainly never occurred such a magnifi¬ cent curn out as the one of that celebrated woman. The deck of Cleopatra’s barge was adorned with gold, and its sails were purple. The oars, of which -there were about twenty, were set wri.h silver, and the rowers kept time to the sound of flutes and lyres. The figure-head of the barge represented a dragon’s head and' was most elaborately carved. The masts, of which there were two, were sur- 6 THE MODERN OARSMAN. mounted by golden crowns, and the entire) craft was con¬ structed and adorned in a style surpassing description. It was a move in the right direction when the two great English Universities Oxford and Cambridge, in June, 1829, introduced their annual boating contests, which was fol¬ lowed twenty-three years later by Harvard and Yale; for at the present time nearly every University in the world, accessible to rivers and lakes, has its boats and its boat- crews, thus giving to rowing a prestige no other athletic sport ever enjoyed. In our. effort to make rowing (which accomplishment both sexes can acquire) more popular, and still better un¬ derstood in all its details, we would state that, without practice on the water, no one can ever expect to become an oarsman by simply reading one or all the text books— therefore, let each avail himself of putting into practice the principles laid down in theory, and success will surely follow.

  • Rowing and Harness Racing
    Saint John: A Sporting Tradition 1785-1985 Brian Flood Chapter 2 Rowing and Harness Racing Rowing Who are these chaps? What on earth are they doing in Paris? They have come to row. Oh, God help me. Was there ever a crew like Saint John’s own Paris crew? Some say they were the greatest four-oared crew that ever sat in a shell. Whether you believe they were or not depends on what reports of them you read. Regardless, they certainly were a unique four- some. In a sport known for its well-schooled, highly-polished, upper class gentlemen, the Paris crew were a marked contrast. They were rough, ill-bred, tobacco-chewing fishermen. They did one thing, and they did it well: Row. They were Saint John’s first World Champions. They were the end product, the cream of the crop of over sixty years of aquatic development in Saint John. They were the stars in the golden age of rowing - an age that produced a number of champion crews. In the fall of 1856, for example, one of our local crews, one of the greatest of the era, was down in Boston for a race. The Neptune crew, as it was called, was made up of John and Dennis Morris, Ned Walsh, and John Lambert. They defeated a New York crew over a six mile course on the Charles River. The Saint John crew returned home with $2,000 in prize money and an undisclosed amount in side bets. In those days, $2,000 was a lot of money: equal, in fact, to about $60,000 on today’s market.

Ten years have elapsed since the republication, under the title of "The Arts of Rowing and Training/^ of a series of articles which, from time to time, appeared in the columns of the Field newspaper, and which, with several original chapters subsequently added, were designed to form a manual on boatracing. This manual, on its completion, was submitted to a gentle- man who was not only an accomplished oarsman him- self, but the most experienced coach of his day ; and, having been revised by him before passing into the hands of the printer, embodied the precepts which, under his personal instruction, mainly contributed to the repeated successes of Oxford crews in the Univer- sity Boat Race, and at a later period to the turn of the tideinfavour of Cambridge. The principles enunciated in it were, consequently, not wanting in authority. As the book has long been out of print, and a new VI PREFACE.
