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 diff
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 "silent 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

alleged feats Of strength is thus described
He lies upon his back, allows a 200 pound
man to stand upon the palms of each hand
and then lifts them into the air. If Check
ley can perform such a trick with his 12s
pounds of bone and sinew he is indeed tc
be accounted Il of the most powerful
men in America.

A BRAvvNY
Edwin C~heckley, of Brooklyn, Who Re-
Gently Smashed a Record.

Edwin Checkley, of Brooklyn, Who Re
Gently Smashed a 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 New World.
Although only 5 it. 4 in. in height and
weighing but 1875 pounds, Checkley is said
to be one of the strongest men in America.
His physical development is wonderful
and is the result of long and persistent
training Upon IN unorthodox plan pecu-
liarly his own, but which seems to have
been a 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 @1lAYsical Training" His views, briefly
expressed, are that the main thing to be
kept in view in building up a strong con.
stitution lis not the violent expanding OF
muscular power, but reserving it 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 s
safety bicycle and is of the opinion that in
its present stage of development the ma
chine would be of little assistance to al
army in time of war. The breaking Of
Nelson's record between New York ant
Chicago was only an incident of the trip
Checkley rolled into Chicago exactly four

Mr.. b. F. Burge, whom he met near the
