Indeed that aspect of the matter is never considered. Sport is not entered into for the love of it but chiefly for the piirpoi^e of making records.-. We flatter our­ selves that we are the physical superiors of our forebears, forgetting they had to be stronger men. land women in every way to survive at all in their day and, therefore, that, given all the scientific thought and training now devoted to the subject, they would in all probability have knocked' all our precious records into a cock^ hat. - ,. '*■... Speed, too, has entered into the ballroom and taken from it most of the old rhythmic grace of motion. The waltz is a waltz no longer, while the foxtrot, which queens it on the floor, bears a very striking resemblance to the dances to be seen in many a West African village In this connection it is a matter for wonder that th e white man in stealing the black iflan's dance has never yet realized that he has failed to steal its grace. For there is a ceii^in grace in the shuffling steps of it. as danced by the American, negro and his forebears in' .' the Dark Continent, which none of us can hope to-acquire . Similarly, no white man can sing a. coon song in quite the way it is rendered by any member of the ra^e to whom it belongs.
