Champion Heel and Toe
Walker at Miners Theatre

The champion heel-and-toe walker
of the world. George N. Brown, is APP
bearing at Miners Empire Theatre
this week. The holder of this title is
a clean-cut youth of 19 years, weigh
ing 139 pounds, and with a pair of
legs that are as sturdy as steel. His
home town is Auburn, ". Y.
Brown captured the championship
title on May "a, 1909. at P~eterboro.
Canada, when he defeated w. A.
Hoagland in a race lasting nineteen
hours. In this race Brown covered 127
miles. A notable race in which the
youthful champion competed was at
Boston, Mass. He was entered In a
race against a horse hat vas to last
twenty-seven hours, walking nine
hours for three consecutive days. After
the horse had covered 11S miles he
dropped dead.
Next year. in July, Brown Will de-
fend his title against Frederick Smith,
of Australia. The ace will be held In
the antipodes and win be for a side
bet of $1,000.
George w. Bassett, champion heel
and-toe walker Of England, is the part
ner of Brown here. Their act on the
stage is a novel one. The two men
take places on opposite sides of a sort
of home trainer. A huge dial shows
the distance they cover. On numer-
Gus occasions the assistant has almost
defeated his master.
