w. S. Curtis and NJ. w. Hall, two
young men who are riding across the
continent from Los Angeles, Cal, to
Boston, on $500 wager, wheeled in
to Brandon few days ago and were
invited by t. c. Mcclure to recuper-
ate before starting on the last lap Of
their long journey, one of them being
slightly i'll when they arrived. They
started from Los Angeles March 3
and will receive $500 if they reach
Boston by August 10. Their contract
does not permit them taking the
shortest route, but they are obliged
to follow a course $500 miles long,
which was mapped out for them be-
fore they started. They were allowed
to take no money with them and so
have been obliged to depend upon
their muscular abilities and the hos
pitality of strangers for board and
lodging. They report a very cordial
reception all along the line, but they
have no desire to pedal back to Cali
fornia. Their route lay through
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas and
thence up the Mississippi river TO
East st. Louis. They then struck
across Illinois to Chicago, passed
through northern Ohio and rode
across New York state by way of
Buffalo, Rochester, Schenectady and
Saratoga, thence to Fair Haven, Rut-
land and Brandon. Their route to
Boston lay through Burlington,
Montpelier and st. Johnsbury and
then across New Hampshire to Port
land, Me. From there they will go
direct TO Boston.
