The Fastest Three Heats ON Record.
HARTFORD, Aug 23-Great interest was
centred in the trials of speed by Rarus and
also in the trials of Edwin Forrest. The track
was in such good condition there were con-
fident believers among the spectators that both
horses would beat the hest time ever made.
Rarus did trot the fastest three successive heats
ever trotted, viz, 2.15, 213a, 213i. The con-
ditions of the trial were purse of $1,000 if the
three heats averaged 21S or under, and $500
extra if 214 swas beaten. Lulu and Great
Eastern were entered, but only Rarus started.
Rarus therefore wins all the purse offered and
makes anothcf wonderful exhibition of speed
on the turf. Edwin Forrest also trotted two
heats in 2 14a and 2.16.

AROUND THE WORLD 1Ns YEARS,

JAS. DUFF HENDERsoN's WAGER TO WALK
$4,000 MILES THE WALK BEGUN.
The great pedestrian feat which James
Duff Henderson has just begun in Toronto
will be long drawn out. He proposes to
walk distance equal to the circumference
of the earth, or about 25 900 miles. Articles
of agreement have drawn up, and by them
the pedestrian must accomplish the distance
in two years, each of 313 working days,
which will leave him one day in each week
for rest and recuperation, and his intention
is to walk forty miles each day. The arti-
cles permit him to walk against the best
records of time and distance either in
America or Europe. He receives his ex,
penses and fixed sum monthly, and
should the distance be accomplished within
the specihsd time he Is to receive the sum
of 0O00, bonds for the payment of which
have been entered into with his managers
The walk was commenced in Toronto, and
is to be continued in the principal cities of
the Dominion and the United States, thence
to Paris during the exposition, and there's
after In the principal cities of Great Britain
and the continent. The walk was begun at
the rolling Skating Rink, Toronto, where
Henderson will walk one week. He will
then probably travel to the United States.
When the heat becomes oppressive he will
betake himself northward, and 60 through
Canada, after which he will embark for
Paris. Should the weather be favorable
and permission be obtained, he will have a
track constructed on board ship and con>
tinue his daily walk. Whether he will, af>
ter leaving Paris, do Continental tour or
60 straight to Great Britain will not be de-
cided until Paris has been reached. He is
a Scotchman by birth, and is 2S years old.
he feels confident of success, notwithstand-
ing the constant strain he W iii be under from
keeping In condition. His walk is rapid,
and he can cover mile quite handily in I'm.
