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

58 MEN OF MUSCLE. Johnston is credited with a world's record with the 16lb. hammer in the Scots style. The distance is IIgft. }in., and the throw was made at Stirling in 1896. With a 22lb. ball he has made 36ft. 11in., while with a 56lb. weight he tied with G. M. Ross's record throw of 29ft. 1in. In appearance Johnston is a fine specimen of a typical Scotsman. He has light brown curly hair and moustache, now beginning to bleach a little. A pair of laughing eyes set in an honest, intelligent face. Square in the jaw, yet not too square, and a nose rather inclined to the Roman– in short, a model head and neck placed upon a model frame is G. II. J olmston, commonly known as " from Aberdeen."
