Abstract
IN this book the history and progress of rowing and track athletics in America are described in a very interesting manner. From the British sportsman's point of view the book will be read with very great pleasure, for it shows how eagerly the Americans have strived, and not in vain, to excel the prowess of the athletes this side of the Atlantic. From the scientific point of view this history is also of value, for it shows the evolution of ideas which have culminated in the present methods.
