Men of Muscle, and the Highland Games of Scotland, etc.

.. J. S. EWEN' OF METHLICK, ABERD.l!.E HIRE. 107 tall and well built, as a hammer thrower should be, lithe and sinewy, as a jumper and runner; in short, a man who has all the qualifications for any branch of athletics, and who could doubtless make world's records at any one of the events practised at Highland games, had he devoted his attention to one and one only. But, as he says himself, he has no ambition for records, preferring to try his hand at all the events, or such a· suit his fancy. His duties at the college prevent him from attending the games, unless during his two month's holiday in summer, but when he does come on the field he is just as liable a not to defeat any of the– champions at their own particular branch. Ewen stands six feet two inches, and weighs about fourteen stone.
