.\LEXAN"DE LIDDLE OF THE GLASGOW POLlCE. 97 with the hop, step, and leap. While at I 1wern ~ la t season he made 10ft. uin. with the pole \'ault. He won the 12. t. wrestling champion hip open to all police force in Scotland, and has hel<l it since. Last year, at Celtic Park, Glasgow, in the open wrestling competition, he met Tom Graham, of Carlisle, and the tussle was the most exciting ever seen at the Police sports. After a pro~racted struggle Liddl defeated the Englishman, who is beyond doubt one of th best r rst. men in the Cumberland style living. Harrison, of Carlisle, has been Liddle's instructor in the art, and an apt pupil the Central policeman has proved. It mu t be highly gratifying to Harrison to ee Liddle so succes ful under his methods. Liddle has gained premier honours at almost every branch of field sports practised at Highland gatherings, including hammer, ball, caber, wrestling, and jumping. He has won ( r 900) in all 346 prizes, embracing medals, marble clocks, etc., and cash, and, as he is only 27 years of age, he will doubtless win many more competitiom. He stand 5ft. 10!in. with shoe;; on, and weighs just under r 2st. He is smart on his feet and quick in his actions, fair haired and ruddy in complexion, with intelligent eyes that can be either laughing or serious as the circumstances may warrant. Liddle i a good a policeman as he is an athlete, and Captain Boyd could doubtless do with a few more like him. Liddle is but on of many in the blue uniform who have improved a guardians of the pea.cc while gaining proficiency in the athletic arena. G
