turning home Wednesday he spent tho

Gently Smashed . Record.
Edwin Checkley, the hardy rider Of
Brooklyn, who recently distinguished him
self by breaking the bicycle record between
New York and Chicago, was born In Lon
don In 1854, but removed to America In
1871 and has since resided In the Now World.
Although only 5 IT. 4 In. in height and
weighing but lbs pounds, Checkley In said
to be one OF the strongest men In America.
His physical development Is wonderful
and ID the result Of long and persistent
training upon an unorthodox plan pecu-
liarly his own, but which seems to have
been q bowling success In his case. He
calls his method the natural" method
and has embodied his views in a book on
physiculture, entitled. "A Natural Method
Of Physical Training" His views, briefly
expressed, are that the main thing to be
kept In view in building up a strong con-
~stitution sis not the violent expanding OF
muscular power, but reserving 1t and
learning to control it,"
Mr.. Checkley's principal object In at
tempting his hard trip was to learn whether
long bicycle rides were beneficial or not,
and he decides in the negative. He rode q
safety bicycle aud is of the opinion that In
its present stage Of development the ma
chine would he Of little assistance to an
army In time Of war. The breaking OF
Nelson's record between New York and
Chicago was only an incident Of the trip.
Checklev rolled into Chicago exactly four.
.. days, twenty - ? -oars abi thirty
minutes from the time he left New York,
lowering by sixteen hours the record OF
Nelson. Checkley claims, further, that
his route was much longer and more difi-
cult than that Of his predecessor, as he
made "A detour some distance south in
passing through the Keystone state.
Mr.. Checkley seemed little the worse for
his long jaunt when he reached Chicago.
but his 'silcnt steed" was almost com.
pletely worn out by hard usage among the
mountains. Checkley is a student at the
Long Island Medical college. and expects
to get his diploma next year. One OF his
alleged feats Of strength is thus described:
He lies upon his back, allows a 800 pound
mar tn stand upon the palmsof each hand.
and then lifts them into the air. II Check.
