WestOn's First Great Pedestrian
Feat,

Edward Payson Weston came to Hart.
ford, Conn, seventeen years ago as a
book canvasser, IN the service Of a sub
scription publishing house, and boarded
there all winter. A book agent, by
virtue of his calling, must be skilled
pedestrian to succeed. Weston in his
daily rounds, discovered that he had
powers of endurance Which might BE-
turned to his advantage, and it was
here that the idea of becoming a profes.
sional walker was formed. He told the
boarders at Mrs Lambs, where he was
stopping, of his purpose, and, to give
himself test, he walked one Sunday
from Hartford to New Haven and back,
distance of seventy. two miles. II was
considered remarkable feat for an anna
teur as it was. That was the first great
effort OF the present champion of the

RehObOth Beach.

rSr tne hcpuDllcan.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-A letter from Re.
hoboth City published in Tuesday s
REPUBLICAN speaks of the much vexed
question ofdancing at Rehoboth Beach.
1t Is true that the Rehoboth Beach As
sociation was started by the members OF
the Christian Church for Camp Meeting
purposes and seaside resort and
think little more seaside than camp
meeting.
The stockholders invested their mon.
ey in this enterprise with a view Of
realizing something on their invest
Tin the future. To achieve this it is
necessary for them to cater to the wish
es of those who patrorize the place and
they ought to know by this time that
there are not enough of church going
people who patronize Rehoboth to make
it what they originally intended the
place to be.
There seems to be faction in this
association who are determined to
drive away from this resort that class
OF visitors which they term worldly
people. Without this class of people
Rehoboth would certainly sink into
nothingness.
The parties who take such active
steps in this matter are those who
have very little interest at stake, and
who have done comparatively nothing
Financially to build up the place !;
and what is stranger than all, their
whole action last season was directe1
exclusively against the Bright House,
the owner of which has done more for
the improvement of the place, and has
more money invested there than one
half of the stockholders combined, es-
pecially those who are stirring up this
disturbance, Notwithstanding the fact
that dancing was first started and has
been carried on in the Surf House,
which is owned by the association.
think if this faction has the inter-
est Of the association at heart they will
keep quiet and not interfere with the
pleasure of the guests who visit Reho
both as long as they confine their dane
ing to the seaside, which is fully one
mile from where any religious worship
Is carried on. VISITOR AT REnoBoTn.

The "Drlawarean' calls the Editors
