CAN NELSON J. SPENCER WALK?
Well, He Made 30 Miles, Some of it
Over Mountains, to Get Home
SATURDAY.

Nelson ]. Spencer got into Homes
dale Saturday night after a 30-mile
shoe leather jaunt that took the
wiry little ex-editor of the Homes
dale Herald through a pretty fair
slice of three counties. Held up at
Cresco by the Lackawanna wreck
that killed an engineer and fireman
Friday night, he decided not to wait
for the track to be cleared but to
try shank's mare as far as the
Wayne capital. He ate good
breakfast, drank some spring water
and started. He tramped from
Cresco over the Poconos to South
Sterling, where he looked up some
acquaintances and from South
Sterling he walked on to Hamlin,
where he got a train.
''By George but life is lonely in
those Poconos!" said Mr.. Spencer.
For six miles l didn't pass house.
Then, as soon as | got out into civ
ilization again, the first crack out of
the box / met man who wanted to
borrow 81. What do you know
about that?
81 showed him a trade dollar
carry and told himNI needed the
rest of my money, even though I'd
saved a bit by not having to pay
carfare"
Mr.. Spencer was in good condi-
tion when he got to Honesdale.
He washed up at the Exchange club
and went home to sleep like a top.
Long jaunts over nondescript roads
are an old story to him. He used
to teach school in the country.

course into Brooklyn. Grahame.
White was still gaining on De Les
seps, but the Frenchman was across
New York bay and around the statue,
about 1000 feet above the black bal.
Don that showed him the course.
Then Grahame-White set in to nose
his Bleriot around above the head of
Miss Liberty and started bask along
the same course.
De Lesseps still had a slight lead,
but Grahame-White put on full speed
and began eating up the distance be-
tween them. De Lesseps kept des-
screetly in the Englislmans wake
after being passed On reaching the
railroad track White was in the lead
about two miles. The English air.
nan started his descent from

distance came the Frenchman.
Meanwhile, Moissanr was tuning
M his newly bought Bleriot. He shot
into the air and was off over the
grand stand, steering by compass for
'edloe's Island, on which stands the
Statue of Liberty. Fifty miles al
hour was the speed the spectators
reckoned he was making against the
cold, biting wind.
Mile after mile he sped, high up In
the air, crossing Brooklyn at an alti.
tude Of 1000 feet. Reaching the
East river Moisant swept across to
the New York Shore and described a
half circle and dashed out across the
bay and around the statue.
