 Walking to Buffalo from this city is no easy undertaking. It Is far more difficult than some young men imagine. It is all right to read about the heroes of dime novels performing remarkable feats but it is another thing when a person attempts to do these same things They are not so easy then. If any young men in this part of the town have any foolish idea of walking to the Pan-American exposition they should take warning from the experience of the quintet of young men who left town last week for Buffalo. They set out on their brave undertaking at l o'clock on Saturday morning. They plodded along fairly well until they reached Winsted. Then they began to feel tired Their feet were rather sore. Still. however, they continued to press on growing more and more tired and expressing now and then few re- marks to the effect that walking was not so easy as they had believed it was. When they reached Hartford two of l the party were well tired of their trip and they turned about and faced Wa terbury. They arrived home Monday. They left the other three in Hartford undecided as to whether they would continue the trip. The chances are, however, that they are still in the capi- tol city. One of the young men has declared that he is not so fond of walk | ing as he once was.
