to the plainslnan Of the West who feels i'll a.
ease when out of the saddle, the whole uni

they possibly can. In fact we are not walk

pretty clearly established, physical ability in a
particular line ever comes as a birth right.
In England, pedestrianism is the habltual
exercise of large classes of women Of the
better class. An Englishwoman thinks moth.

if we except Broadway and Chestnut street,
where are we to find a similar :" record .
credited to the daughters of Columbia?
Pedestrian tours are common in England.
During the long vacation, parties Of college
men or of barristers from 'the Temple have
frequently walked from Lands End to John
O'Groat's or some circuitous tout of equal
length. A walking tour IN the Continent is an
undertaking by no means unusual not only by
young men but by young women as well, and
by people too, abundantly able to pay their
way by any of the more usual methods of
travel. The consequence of all this is That
walking in England is popular, it is not con-
sldered "undignitied," as it seems to be
in America; and the Englishman who
chooses to walk three or four miles instead of
riding can do so without fear of exciting the
suspicion that a desire to save seven pence
ha' penny induced him 50 to elect. In this
way it happens that the English PEOPLE have
an immensely greater practice than we have
in walking, and are therefore very apt to be
our superiors. If they defeat lis our climate
cannot be held responsible. In rowing,
where more of an equality in the way of
practice exists, we hold our own, and even in
running, if we "sub" the matter to our four
footed friends no better guarantee than

promise of victory. But when it comes to test

Albion. Ofcourse, we here speak ofthe native
American stock, those who have been affected
in their growth by American customs and
habits. O'Leary went abroad and won as the
champion Of America, but fair play should
have credited his victories to Ireland, since he
was a man grown before he ever trod Ameri-
