ARMY OFFICERS ON FIRST TEST WALK
Seven Do Seventeen Miles and Then Some
More for Exercise


Seven United States Army officers attached to
Governors Island are feeling a bit sore and stin
this morning the first Of the three days test
walk of fifty miles which they have elected to
take instead of the nInety-mile test ride. In all
about twenty-six officers ranging In rank from
colonel to major and in age from siXty-three TO
forty-one, began the test yesterday morning at
different points between Old Point Comfort and
New London, Conn. The Governors Island group
walked seventeen miles, starting from the main
entrance to Prospect Park, Brooklyn.
Lieutenant Colonel Brechemin. of the medical
department, in command, the others being
Major George T. Holloway, of the paymaster' S
department; Major Writ Robinson. coast artillery;
Major Arthur M Edwards, Commissary depart
ment; Major A. w Kimball, quartermaster's de-
partment; Major u. Skerrett. paymasters depart
ment and Major Archibald Campbell, coast artil-
lerv The route led round the park to the boule-
ward at Coney Island avenue, to Coney Island and
return.
At 7:l5 O'Clock the officers swung off at four
miIe-an-hour clip. followed by two army mules
drawing an ambulance. COney Island reached
at 9:45 o'clock and a ffteen-minute rest taken
before the return trip. The last part of the walk
was accomplished at the same sharp pace, and the
end of the boulevard reached at lbs o'clock.
The final two miles around the park easy,
and the officers swung into the Plaza at least an
hour and three-quarters ahead OF schedule time.
The real test will come to-day, when the stiff
ness yesterdays trudge probably will make
the first five miles rather painful The officers are
confident they will all finish ahead of time.
