WALKING.

Some Great Strides In the Past which throw
Weston into the shade.
The success of the great Weston in walking
one hundred miles in less than twenty-five
hours naturally calls attention to previous
achievements of the same character. Of
these we find very interesting account in a
work on Pedestrianism, published in Aber-
deem in 1913. 1t seem that Robert BARLEY,
of Norfolk, who was born in 1719, used fire.
quently to walk from Thetford to London in
one day, returning the next; the distance,
eighty-one miles. Reed, of Hampshire, in
1871 made fifty miles in little more than
nine hours. In 1862 John Hogue made 100
miles in % hours and Is minutes. In 1877
Foster Powell walked from Canterbury to
London Bridge and back in % hours and so
minutes, the distance being 100 miles. In
1906 Joseph Edge of Maccesfield walked 172
miles in 40 hours 20 minutes. In 1888 John
Boty walked 700 miles in II days. and Dow
ler of Towcester walked 500 miles in
seven successive days. In 1911 Oliver
minutes, and Edward Miller did the same
distance in 23 hours 20 minutes. In
1912 Jonathan Waring of Lancashire
walked 1876 miles in 81 hours, and Clan
Vile of Shropshire walked 142 miles on
the Bath road in 20 hours and 40 minutes.
In 1912 Lieutenant Groates walked ~ miles
in IL hours Sc minutes. The greatest pedes-
Irlan OF all, however, was Cdptdlu hoOeIt
Barclay a descendant of the celebrated
Quaker Barclay of Ury. In 1901, while in
training to walk upon wager, he made, in
the park of Lord Faulkenberg, 10 miles in
19 hours 27 minutes. In 1906 he walked 100
miles in 10 hours, over the worst road in the
kingdom, and just at the breaking out of
a severe storm. Exclusive of stoppages,
the distance was performed in IL hours
80 minutes. In this walk he was at
tended by William Gross, his servant, who
made the distance in the same time as
the matter; and subsequently Cross walked
100 miles in 10 hours II minutes, on the
Aberdeen road. In 1907 Barclay walked rs
miles in IA hours, over the hilly roads of
Aberdeenshire. In the course of this year
he ran 10 miles in 2 hours and 8 minutes,
making the first miles in so minutes, though
the road was hilly and bad. In 1909, when
he was 28 years old, Barclay accomplished
the great exploit of walking 1000 miles in 1000
hours. In the course of this feat his weight
which was 1876 pounds at starting, fell off ~
pounds. Five days afterwards he joined the
expedition to Walcheren, where he served al
an aide-de-camp to the Marquis of Huntley
The expedition was unfortunate, but Barclay
returned in safety. After this he lived the
life of a country gentleman at Ury; and the
only public exploit in which he was engaged
was the training of Tom Crib for his grea
match against Molineaux.
From these facts it will be seen that bril-
