have zen produced, and great improvements have
been effected in the manufacture of all variety of
their standard watches, until now they include
every size in both key and stem-winding, that can
be desred Of every quality and every price. At the
same time new inventions in machinery, and other
large economies, have cheapened the cost, so that
at present it is not 90 much to claim that the wal
than Watches are the best and cheapest watches in

fact that hardly any fine American watches,are sold

A CHALLENGE TO WESTON.
76s WEST LAKE STREET, CHICAGO, Dec. 20, is,

76s WEST LAKE STREET. CHICAGO, Dec 20, 1874.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Having perceived by the Eastern Journals that
Mr.. L. P. Weston recently succeeded in bringing
to a successful termination the Ot-attempted task
OF walking 500 miles in six consecutive days, as a
pedestrian allow me to ofer him, through the col
umns OF your paper, my warmest congratulations
for the grand feat performed. However, 1t is to
be somewhat regretted that none Of your Eastern
pedestrians (Mr. Weston not excepted) ever seem
desirous OF walking a match with another. As
general thing they walk against time, thus prevent
Ing the public from realizing the truthiulness oil the
old adage that "thcre are as good nsh In the sea
as ever were caught" Now, sir, there is no one
more xious to give to those who truly merit
10 than your correspondent; and while freely
admit that Mr. Weston, according to the New
YORK journals, has accomplished great feat
am inclined TO think that, In the field OF pedes-
trIanism. he has rival. Please do not consider
me egotistical when consider myself his equal;
and IN proof Of my assertion hereby tender u
challenge to MI. weston to walk against me at
any place he himself may select for any sum he
wishes to mention rom 500 TO $4,000 and FOR
any distance which he may desire from 20 TO 800
miles, and at such time as will be most convenient
to him, provided said walk takes place before the
expiration OF three months from the above date.
Yours, respectfully, DANIEL OLEARY.
