MAN HOLDS RECORD.
Writer Says Horse Couldn't Equal
 Time Made by Captain Barclay.

In a short distance race-anything
 up to sixty or seventy miles--be-
 tween a man and horse, the man
 would certainly be vanquished. But
 as the distance increased the mans
 chances would become greater. Mans
 running record for sixty miles is
 hours 30 minutes B seconds--a rec-
 ord which good horse could beat.
 But how many horses would equal
 mans running record for 100 miles,
 viz: 13 hours, 26 minutes, 30 sec onds? And supposing horse were
 found capable of accomplishing this
 feat, could such an animal continue
 moving as the man did, till he had covered 150 miles in 92 hours. 28 minutes, 25 seconds, asks writer in the Grand Magazine.
 Nor did this particular man, Charles Rowell of Cambridge, Eng, cease work even at 150 miles. On the contrary he put up record of 3s0 miles in 79 hours, 40 minutes, 25 seconds. More than one horse would have been needed to cover such distance in such time.
 Yet Rowell's feat by no means rep- resents the limit of this particular form of human endurance. P. Fitz- gerald of New York covered 500 miles in 100 hours, IS minutes, 20 seconds. and George Littlewood of Sheffield. e2% miles in Al hours, 57 minutes. 30 seconds. Where, then, would your horse be in a really long race?
 One of the greatest difficulties to be overcome in the performance of feats of this description is the doing, more or less, without sleep. In this particularly trying form of endurance a man holds records that no living the exception of a salmon or goldikh-could ever hope to equal
 In October, 1908. Captain Barclay of Ury made match for 1000 guin- eas with Wedderbun Webster, to walk 900 miles in 1 ,000 consecutive mile in each separate hour. The start was made on June I, 1909. at Newmarket heath. and the course was public road. Cap tain Barclay was 26 years old at the time and weighed at the outset 13 stone i pounds. The feat was deemed impossible. but the captain such pluck and endurance that after a time odds of 2 to were laid on his accomplishing it. Before the finish these odds rose to 100 to |. The last mile was concluded on July 12, at 3:37 D. m, and the match won.
 Captain Barclays feat. which only a human being could have accom- plished. remained unequaied. in spite of many attempts to perform it. until the appearance on the scene of a pedestrian marvel named wfl- liam Gale. who in September and Oc- tober. 1871. walked 1.50Q miles in 900 hours. each mile and a half walk to be started at the commence ment of the hour.
 Gale. who was i5 years of age. ap- peared thoroughly done up In the last walk but one if seemed as if he sould never finish Then. to every lnefs smaSement. he pulled himself together and positively sprfnted the inal journey. amid the frantic cheers Jf the onfockers.

YALE SQUAD TIRED.

New Haven. Oct 5.-After the hard game against Wesleyan the Yale ssuad was not in condition for hard scrimmage and had only ten min ute half of lineup yesterday. The practice consisted in the main. of short kicking and in drill of trick plays. Defensive work in stopping tricks was also in the drill. The squad seemed none the worse appar- ently for the game yesterday. but the coaches seemed not to want to drive them. with the Syracuse contest on Saturday. Captain Morse was iu practice to-day for the first time this week and said he had recovered from his slight indisposition. He will be In his place when the whistle blows. It was said here to-day that the injury to Burch was not broken shoulder, but a broken collarbone. It is said that he will.be in the game again in n month.

him on the side lines, and academic duty kept 'Bull' Christy away. John son made the first fair catch of the season yesterday on the fifty yard line, and Beavers tried the kick, missing by fraction of an inch. The practice was greatly marred by numerous fumbles by both sides. AL though tried several times, the for ward pass only once netted gain, the balance of the efforts developing into what the cadets on the side lines called basketball. Weeks and Gar ey, ends, only played a short time, being sent on run around the plain to improve the wind. Ben Castle and T. J. Johnson went in and did good work at the end positions. During the absence of head coach Lieutenant Smithers, Lieutenant Graves and Lieutenant Bettison have assumed charge of the coaching.

WORKING ON FORWARD PASS.

Cambridge, Oct 5.-The Harvard coaches again devoted most of their attention to the forward pass yester- day, laying special stress on 1t both in the preliminary work and in the scrimmage between the varsity and second elevens. The second team used the onside kick most of the time to give the varsity drill in handling the treacherous play. The second al- so used tandem formation, like the old Harvard tandem, except that it was made up of three backs instead of having big, heavy lineman at the head of the battering ram. Inches and Pierce were added to the hospital list to-day as the result of kicks in the leg received yesterday.

STILL after POSTMASTER
Inspector Sharp Says He Will Pro-
ceed Against Bondsmen
of Lyons of Peoa

POstOffiCe Inspector Frank (. Sharp is
not satisfied with the dismissal of the
case against former Postmaster Oscar +.
Lyons of Peoa, Summit county. on a
charge OF classifying the cancellation in
his office, and says ne will proceed
against the bondsmen of Lyons in the
effort to collect the amount Inspector
Sharp believes the eX-pOstmaster owes
the federal government.
Lyons tried this week in the United
States district court and his case was dis
missed on motion of Assistant District
Attorney Pennel CherringtOn. because
feSSiOn that Inspector Sharp secured from
Lyons was made as the result of an i'm
piled threat on the part of Sharp.
Inspector Sharp does not criticize the
court, but he has the books OF Lyons i'm
his possession, which Sharp says show
plainly that Lyons changed figures so as
to raise the amount of his cancella-
ton. In addition he has what he says is
the written confession of Lyons. The
books and the alleged confession were Of
fered in court as evidence. but they were
not admitted. This ruling left the dis
trict attorneys office with but a small
measure of evidence with which to pro-
coed with the case.
Lyons was believed from his office after
his arrest. and Stephen Walker was
placed in charge pending the appointment
of a new postmaster Inspector Sharp
says the cancellation at the PeOa office
since Walker took charge has been less
than 90 cents "A day. whereas when Lyons
had charge the cancellation was from
81. 80 to more than So a day.

TO the skull with wire and made merry
with his queer plaything.
The bones were found in hole about
six feet below the surface of the ground.

FRIENDS NEEDED
FOR Boys FARM
Six Lads Waiting to Be Sent
Out as Soon as Quarters
Are Provided.
SITUATION DISCOURAGING
MANAGEMENT HOPES FOR SOME
PHILANTHRoPIST.

The industrial farm, so auspiciously
started recently by a body of men and
women who are enthusiastic for the bet
terment of the youth of Utah, is not NOV
ing along as it should do for lack of sub
stantial aid. The Canyon Crest associa-
ton is said to be seriously hampered for
lack OF funds, and were it not for few
public spirited young men, they would
today be unable to proceed with the work
of renOVating the old farm.
With the purchase Of the ranch near
BOuntiful went a contract to supply milk
to the l.. d. S. hospital. and in order TO
carry out the terms of this agreement it
is necessary to haul the milk daily with
the only team on the place No suitable
quarters have been provided for the SIX
boys who are waiting to be taken to the
farm. and so the entire work of the place
falls upon Captain NJ. NJ. Woods and one
hired man. The work of retaining
neglected place is therefore slow and the
association feels that without some con-
tingent fund with which to begin opera
lions, the task will be arduOus to say the
least.
Look Forward to Aid.
The hope is expressed that some person
erect one cottage and to leave cOntin-
gent fund for running expenses Mean
time one of the men of the association
has raised 800 for the immediate needs
of the men at work until the money is due
on the milk contract. The men and wo-
men who have taken up this gigantic
problem are Mrs. Hugh Park. S. NJ. Bar
