Denver to Boston.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Thomas j.
Corcoran of Aspen, 800 miles north
west of Denver, who is riding a wheel
from Denver to Boston, has arrived In
New York after averaging 20 miles a
day for thirty days. Corcoran starts
for Boston tomorrow
Corcoran left Aspen on August 14th
and has made his ride alone.
A ten-pound baggage roll was his
sole incumbrance, as he did not even
carry tool bag. The run to Denver
was the hardest of his trip, it being
over a steep mountain trail. His
route has led him through Topeka, St.
Joseph, Quincy. Springfield, Indianapo-
lis, Detroit, Niagara, Albany and down
the Hudson river valley to New York.
Corcoran does not attempt to break
or make a record for speed. He ex-
pressed his luggage from point to
point, lived comfortably and rested
whenever he felt tired His longest
days ride was los miles, made over
the prdiries CT Kansas. He is going
to ride back to Aspen after a four
