As these exercises are intended for physical development and not for the purpose of dis- playing ^'fincy" or ''snake movements '—very good in their way and for the purpose designed— it is advis- able and necessary that the knob of the club should never slip to the thumb and forefinger; neither should the thumb extend up the handle of the club. Place the idle arm at the side, with the back of the fingers resting gracefully against the side of the body. Do not allow the club to wabble. When a movement is made requir- ing the arm to be extended, hold the club firmly, yet as gracefully as if it were a part of that extension. Imagine that you are standing between perfect circles at ri^rht angles with each other-large and small on either side- large in front and small behind. The clubs should fol- low these lines perfectly in all the small circles and sweeps. Be satisfied to practice with one club until all the single moves have been mastered; the double moves will then be more readily attained, as they are combina- tions of the single. INDIAN CLUBS. Practice each move separately, as shown in the illus- tration of the same. Learn the iianie of each move, and it will be helpful, inasmuch as it is suggestive. Do not be ambitious to handle heavy clubs. Judicious practice regularly taken with a pair of light clubs will prove more benetlcial than spasmodic or overwork with heavy clubs. Stand firmly, but not rigidly. Place the feet in as graceful and comfortable a position as the nature of the movement will allow. Do not quite touch the heels, nor place them too far apart, when facing an audience. SIZE OF CLUBS. I have observed that, as a general thing, a lady of average strength can use a three-pound club with ease; a gentleman a five-pound club. These are sufficiently heavy for beginners, especially when taking my entire system of exercises, giving each movement three times. Too light a club is as objectionable as too heavy a club, but in a different degree. INDIAN CLUBS. POSITION. 6 INDIAN CLUBS. Place the club in the hands, as shown in position. Toss the club a little higher than the head, placing the left hand against the side of the body, the back of the fingers touching the body. Pass the right hand back of the head at the right side, and allow the club to drop and form a complete small circle back of the head, which I designate as the small inward. Follow this movement v/ith a full sweep of the arm in front toward the left side, bringing it up on the right to make two small inwards, etc., thus forming Fig. i. Fjg. I.

Change — By extending the arm at the completion of the third small circle^ as if to make a large side circle; then, just as the club is ready to sweep down, turn the body quickly back to the front position. Sweep the club in front, make a small outward with the left hand, and sweep it to the right. Place the right hand as shown in the illustration, and make small circles outside and inside the arm, keeping the arm extended as much as possible, and keep the club as near the arm as possible. Keep the little linger next to the knob. Fi' 23 — CHIN-KNOCKER. Outside of arm — Inside of arm (three times each). Sweep to the left hand. INDIAN CLUBS. 29 Change — By sweeping the club to the left hand and making a small outward with the left. Place the hand, as shown in the illustration, and make small circles out- side and inside the arm, keeping the arm extended as much as possible; also keep the club moving as near the arm as possible. Do not let the knob of the club slip to the thumb and forefinger. CHIN-KNOCKER. Outside of arm— Inside of arm (three times each). Sweep to right hand. 30 INDIAN CLUBS. Change — By small outward and sweep with left hand, carrying the club to the right side by the right hand, until the hand is straight with the shoulder, as seen in the illustration. Grasp the club firmly, and hold it in an upright position. Without raising, lowering or bend- ing the arm the slightest, lay the club on the arm, then raise it and extend it till it is perfectly straight. Through- out this entire exercise the arm should not move nor bend at the elbow. -^^ A Fig. 25. the lever. Upright— On the arm^Straight out. and toss to outward. INDIAN CLUBS. 31 Change— By tossing the club to a small outward, and sweep it to the left hand; stop the hand as soon as it is even with the shoulder, and place the club in an upright position. Lay the club on the arm without bending the arm at the elbow. Raise the club without moving the arm, and extend it until it is perfectly straight, as shown in the illustration. ,->- /:■■ Fig. 26. the lever. Upright — On the arm — Straight out. and toss to outward. 32 INDIAN CLUBS. Change — By tossing the club to a small outward. Do not make a sweep, but just as the club completes the small circle, reverse it to a small inward. Then, just as the club is upright, make a small side-circle, and when the club is again upright, make a small inward, thus alternating small niivards and small sides. Fig. 27. inward and side. Small inward — Small side. and over to the right. INDIAN CLUBS. 33 Change— By passing the club back of the head to the right hand. Make a small outward with the right hand, then reverse it to a small inward, and, as it comes to an upright position, change it to a small side-circle, then back to a small inward; thus alternating small sides and small Inwards. Fig. 28. inward and side. Small inward — Small side (three times each). and toss over . the head, letting it drop gently in the left hand, as shown in Fig i— position.

CONDENSED FOR CONVENIENCE ONE CLUB Presupposing that the pupil has become famih'ar v/ith all the movements; i.e., with the necessary details in the learning of each, 1 present herewith my system of exercises in a condensed form, as a reminder to the indi- vidual, or as an aid to the teacher in calling the move- ments to a class. The order of exercises, and the number of movements of each, are the same as 1 use for my classes in their public exhibitions. On the rostrum, at the close of my lecture on '"Scien- iific Physical Training, or the Care of the Body, " \ aim not only to entertain, but to exemplify the principles set forth in my lecture, by giving, in appropriate costume, my entire system of Indian-club exercises — the clubs weighing eight pounds each. As a rule, 1 do not advocate the use of heavy clubs; but these, to me, do not seem heavy, having had them in use — privately and publicly — for thirty years. My plan of work is on the principle of " cumulative strength" — the only /r//f- principle. Hence I advise the use of one club throughout the entire system of exercises; then rest a moment before swinging the two clubs. Rest again, if desirable, at the close of the ''windmill," before concluding the entire system. By so doing I fmd no difficulty in closing the evening's entertainment by a few movements with both clubs (i6 lbs.) in one hand. INDIAN CLUBS. 35 By adhering to these suggestions, invigoration will take the place of exhaustion. Be patient in well doing. ONE CLUB. No. I. Inward Right — one. two. three. No. 2.

Finish by tossing the club over the head, dropping it gently into the left hand. INDIAN CLUBSc 37 TWO CLUBS GENERAL DIRECTIONS When the clubs fall parallel in the same direction, they should drop simultaneously, and should not be separated from each other any greater distance during the move- ment than when the movement began. With the single exception of a "follow" movement (the windmill, Fig. 12) both clubs should drop with the same impulse, even though they are making differ- ent movements. The slightest variation from this rule will destroy the gracefulness and beauty of the swinging. When facing front, avoid turning the body from side to side, except in Fig. i. Practice before a mirror, in order that every movement of the club may be seen while facing front. This will teach one to look at his audience, instead of turning his head and watching the clubs. Master your clubs instead of allowing them to master you. 38 INDIAN CLUBS. Take position by pointing the two clubs to the left, as shown in the illustration. Keep the palms of the hands up in order to steady the clubs. Toss both clubs up and out, sweeping them down in front of the body, and bringing them up to left side. Avoid angles. Toss them out and bringthem in as if describing an arc of a circle. N. B. — To take up the clubs artistically — which can- not be done until all of the movements shall have been learned — see page 68. ./ / Point left — Sweep, " - Halt. Fig. I. POINT. Point right — Sweep (three times each). INDIAN CLUBS. 39 Change — By halting at position and making a small outward with the left, and a full sweep with the right; both clubs dropping simultaneously. The club in the right hand makes a large revolution, while the one in the left makes a small one. Fig. 2. SMALL LEFT — LARGE RIGHT. Small Wheel — left hand. Large Wheel — right hand. 40 INDIAN CLUBS. Change — By sweeping both clubs in front and bring- ing tiiem up on the right side, and halting them in po- sition of point right. Make a small outward with the right hand, and a full sweep with the left, both clubs falling simultaneously. Fig. 3. SMALL. RIGHT. LARGE LEFT. Small Wheel — right hand. Large Wheel — left hand. INDIAN CLUBS. 41 Change — By sweeping the clubs back to the left side and halting them a second, making a small outward with the left and a full sweep with the right. Sweep them both to the right side and halt only long enough to make a small outward with the right and a full sweep with the left; thus alternating the movement from side to side. /' /'// -.\\ ^\ \ \ \ \ 1 ^ 1 \ f \ 1 \ » 1 / \ \ 1 / !

Change — By sweeping the clubs back to the left side and halting the club in the left hand at poise i ; but pass the right club up in front of the face and push it back of the head, letting it drop as if to make an inward. In- stead of making a small circle, push it to the right, as shown in the illustration. As the right club drops be- hind the head, the left club sweeps in front toward the right side. The clubs now change position — the left club is pushed back of the head, and the light club sweeps in front. POISE: I y , V N // ' i ^:^ I ^ <\ : f \ \\ ■|j Fig. 5 — backward drop.

While this is being done the right club sweeps back on the circle in front, and halts at poise i on the right side, then to poise 2, and drops in front of the face; thus making the regular poise and drop with each hand.

Turn the left club to an outward, while the right club passes down in front and sweeps up on the right side, making a small inward and push — as in the backward drop. It then sweeps down in front and is pushed back of the head, making a backward drop and push, while the left club is making an out- ward. (J U T W A k I ) 1 . |., KT— BACK W A K I ) D R D p.

When the club is pushed right the third time, instead of dropping it in front, turn it immediately to an outward. The left club makes no change but continues making the out- ward and sweep. Fig. 8. alternating outward. Outward left — Sweep, Outward right — Sweep. 46 INDIAN CLUBS. Change — By halting both clubs a second, just as the right club closes the third small outward. Reverse it to a small inward, followed by a full sweep. The left club also reverses its movement, making a sweep, fol- lowed by a small inward. One club is making an in- ward while the other is making a sweep. Fig. 9. alternating inward. Inward right — Sweep. Inward left— Sweep. Both clubs left side. INDIAN CLUBS. 47 Change — By making a small outward left, and a full sweep with the right; i.e., what is known as small left, large right. Sweep both clubs in front at the same time, and bring them up on the right side, and sweep them up, over and back of the head, making small circles, both clubs parallel, as shown in the illustration. Fig. io — small circles — back. One small circle — Sweep. Two small circles-»-Sweep. Three small circles — Change. 48 INDIAN CLUBS. Change— By making an extra small circle with the left hand while the right sweeps in front. The right hand passes back to a small inward, while the left hand sweeps in front. By the time the small inward is fin- ished with the right hand, the left will be in place for a small outward. The clubs now join, and make another double circle back of the head. / f I I 1 \ s \ N N N N \ N \ \ N ^ \ \ \ ^ \ \ \ s \ \ \ \ \ t I ) ! \ 1 1 1 \ \ \ f 1 / / 1 / t / t / ^ / / / * / Fig. II — LEFT — RIGHT — BOTH.

Sweep the left club in front, make a poise and drop, and, as it drops, sweep the right club down with it. Fig. 25 — RIGHT HORIZONTAL. Horizontal — Right. Inward i — Left. " 3 " and sweep. Poise and drop — Left. Sweep both. INDIAN CLUBS. 63 Change — By sweeping the clubs up to the left side, holding the left arm horizontal, and passing the right club back of the head.

" 3 " and sweep. Poise and drop — Right — Sweep both. 64 INDIAN CLUBS. Change — By sweeping the clubs to a small circle back of the head, as shown by the position of the clubs in Fig. lo. Turn the body squarely to the left, the weight on both feet. Make a small side-circle with the left hand, while the right makes a large side-circle. Then make a small side-circle with the light hand, and a lai^ge side- circle with the left. Both clubs should fall with the same impulse — the one making a large circle, while the other makes a small. f I I I I I I t I % % w \ \\ '\ »l 1 1 * / Fig. 27 — SHOULDER BRACE.

Small right— Large left. change, INDIAN CLUBS. . 65 Change — By checking the large side-circle, with the right hand, just as the club has passed a short distance back of the feet. At the same time extend the left arm and club up and forward — pointing exactly opposite the right. Slip the right foot a little back of the left — the momentum of the club on the downward sweep will aid you. With a quick but strong impulse sweep both clubs at once in opposite directions — the left arm makes a large circle forward, the right arm a large circle re- versed. Keep the arms unbent and close to the body. ^^^^ Fig. 28 — LARGE REVERSE. Left and Right — opposite (repeat three times.) 66 INDIAN CLUBS. Change — By halting the right club as it sweeps up in front on the third reverse. Let it fall to a small side. Check the left club as it passes the feet the third time, and bring it up in front with a sweep. It will reach there in time to join the right club as it makes a second small side-circle. Join them (both making a small side), sweep them to the front (turning the body front), and pass them back of the head, making small circles back, as shown by position of clubs in Fig. lo. Pass directly to the ■iviudmilU and add small side alternates (Fig. 22). Fig. 29 — WINDMILL — ALTERNATE. Inward right — Outward left — Small side right — Small side left — Sweep right. Sweep left. Repeat three times. Sweep both. INDIAN CLUBS. 67 THE FINISH Halt the right club when completing the third small alternate, till the left club comes up on the third small circle. Sweep both in front with one impulse, and pass them back over the head to a small circle, as shown by the position of the clubs in Fig. lo. Follow this with a small side-circle (Fig. 21). Pass the clubs gracefully under the arms (Fig. 24). Keep them there till you have made your bow and exit. 68 INDIAN CLUBS. TWO CLUBS TO TAKE UP BOTH CLUBS ARTISTICALLY Face front. Stand between the clubs. Fold the arms. With the first note of the music unfold the arms, raise the hands above the head and sweep them down to the side. Bend the body, take the clubs with suffi- cient impulse to sweep them a short distance back. Straighten the body, and this will give the clubs an im- pulse forward. Sweep them up high enough in front to make small side-circles (Fig. 17), then small circles back of the head (Fig. 10), then, turning the body quickly to the left, make small side-circles (Fig. 21), halting them in position of Fig. i — two clubs. N. B. — In class exhibitions it would be well to have the pupils leave the platform at the close of the 6>//^-club exercise, and when they return, carry the two clubs under the arms, as shown in Fig. 24. At a signal from the music toss the clubs in front to the same position as when taking them up from the floor.

The cylinder, made of brass, having a closed end and highly polished interior, is placed in front of the oarsman, as shown in the illustration. The piston rod of the cylinder is connected with the short oars by me.ins of a whiffletree and connecting rods. The act of taking a stroke draws the piston away from the closed end of the cylinder, producing a vacuum, and the pressure of the atmosphere upon the piston simulates the resistance that is afforded by the water in rowing a boat.

DENVER AG 5PALDING ti BR05 NEW- YORK AND CHICAGO SPALDING'S MOUNE PLATFORM THE ffiost delightfully exhilarating indoor exercise is unquestionably that of vigorously punching a .light, air-intiated bag against a reliable responsive disc, it has, unfortunately, been deterred from occupying its proper place as a home exerciser by the unwieldy size, weight and ge'neral unsuitability of the. ordinary gymnasium disc and its many useless substitutes. Our Molinc Platform is adjustable in height, readily attached to any wall, and ihe side bracket so arranged that it touches three rows of studding. Neat in design and handsomely finished, it in no way detracts from the appearance of the room, does not obstruct the light, and overcomes many other objectionable features cf the uJd style disc usually costing double the price: The arrangement of the face of the rinv permits of two speeds, slow and fast. The part designed for fast work is much quicker than the fastest work obtainable in any other platform. The changing of speeds is an entirely new and exclusive feature, and offers a wide range of clever combinations and scientific work. Each platform is supplied with everything necessary for attaching to wall, and crated ready for shipment. Complete Catalogue o/ Athletic Goods Free. k.
