my training exercise on the banks of tho
Than,es near Hampton. About week before
tho great match began, ns was walking for
practice, l SAW a tug run down md sink

indies and two gentlemen: | PLUNGED Into

1Y0 pounds, and fn saving her strained my
back. When came from te water l bad to

long way to do good work, and found 1nEsclt
mako any man feel sore, md especially onc
who made the record which ] n,ado Ia
New York. The match Was, to the best Of my
knowledge, perfectly fair one: have heard
that the American people doubt that, Weston
really mnAe 5l0 miles. / have heard no hncA
doubts EXPRESSED fu England, md believe that
hc honestly mado It., 1t was as great u surprise
ncross the water % 1t vas here. But can easily
understand It, Weston has remarkable powers
gave himself fnir show. For tho first time

walk, and ho won the belt, believe, honestly
and 'fairly. haye told you one reason for
Wcston's success. Now l will give rou another,
and this Is the principal one, ln this walk he
shown before. ! Blower, brown attempted to
follow the tactics which Rowell 20 successfully
used In this city. Ho tried to break the
heart Of Weston hy following elose on
Ills heels, by tdorgIng' hin. Weston
saw tho game, and lie was equal TO the
emergency. II IA great trick Of hs TO

would be walking at a rapid pace With Brown at

got some paces orer the line before he realized
