destrianlsm.
Brooks has been considered the champion
walker of this city, having walked one hundred
and thirty hours, with only ferty minutes sleep
during that time, according to his own statement.
Mr.. Jim Swift, [pOpularly called "eolored Jim, "
at the Grand Union restaurant, says that Brooks
is not the champion walker Of this District. Jim
intends to ambulate at the Grand Union garden
for one hundred and thirty hours, allowing twenty
minutes for sleep. Mr.. Swift is much exercised
over the assumption Of Rlr. Brooks, and to prove
the superiority of his own legs over any other
pair in the District, he has Voluntarily assumed
conditions for the trial, which will, If he sue
ceeds, place him at the head of ambitious pedes-
tTiaBs. He is to walk to and fro over the length
Of an eighteen-inch plank, supported four feet
above the ground. Mr.. Swift will be rigged out
in an Indian suit and will, it is supposed, occa-
siOnally execute his conception Of war dance to
vary the mOnOtOny of his weary journey. Mr.
Swift is man Of iron will, and if be does not
complish his task it will not be from any lack of
determination. He has respectfully set aside the
warnings Of bis physicians and firmly, but gen
tly, resisted the appeals of his aged mother. The
proprietOrs Of the Grand Union garden, after sew
eTal vain attempts to dissaude him from his set
purpose, have reluctantly allowed him the use OF
their grounds,
Mr. Swift will begin his weary pilgrimage this
morning at eight O'Clock, TO continue unceas-
iDgly for 1872 long hours Jim must not forget as
he Wanders up and down this tiresome way that
the race is not always to the swift.
