FEATS0F BARCLAY
DEFY IMAGINATION
Star Marathon Recalls His
Prodigious Walks and
Other Exploits.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

1AloN1ho AAL+>NA
YUNE u, week from next Satur-
day, date of The Evening Stars
national championship mara
~ thon, brings to mind the tough
est human in Great Britain at the
end Of the eighteenth century. 1t was
on June IL that the celebrated Laird
Of Ury, Capt John Barclay, collected
4 bet Of 1000 guineas that he could
walk 1000 miles in 1000 hours. He
started at midnight, June l, and fin
lshed at $50 pm, June II.
Here's an average item in the ex-
ploits of this durable man, plucked
from the press of his time:
Having gone to Col. Farquharson'
house in AberdeenShlre. he went out
4 S O'Clock in the morning to enjoy
grouse shooting, where he travelled at
least 80 miles. He returned to the
colonels house by 5 in the afternoon
and after dinner set out for Ury, 60
miles away, which he walked in IL
hours without stopping once for re-
freshments He attended his ordinary
business at home and in the after
noon walked to Lawrence Kirk, where
he danced at ball during the night,
and got back to Ury at 7 am He did
not sleep, but spent the day in par
fridge shooting"
Barclay Really Steps.
A BRAHAM LINCOLN MONTE
VERDE, president of the Interna-
tional Marathon Runners Association,
holds the official record for the New
York to Los Angeles walk, 3,415 miles
10 days. 10 hours and 10 minutes
which he accomplished in 1929 for
the only record for the trancontinental
hike recognized by the American
Amateur Athletic Union-and Monte
verde accounted it big day when he
footed SO miles
Monteverde was SO years old when
he realized boyhood ambition tc
walk across the continent and the
path in places was not conducive tc
speed-he lost three toenails early in
the going-but his performance ap-
pears hardly comparable to some OF
the feats of the Laird of Ury. To
wit:
In 1898 he walked 10 miles in IL
hours.
In 1899 he walked $50 miles, Lon.
don to Bristol and back, in two days
In 1901 he walked 300 miles in five
days, and 135 miles in 19 hours. HI
set a regular pace of 2 miles in %
minutes.
He kept in trim by walk of 2C
or 80 miles before breakfast every
morning. He walked with his body
bent forward so as to throw his
weight on his knees, and took short
steps, his feet a few inches from the
ground.

l. Crowds swarmed again
onto EPSON Downs rolling
IL acres today for the opening
of the Spring meeting, which will be
climaxed by tomorroW's renewal of
the $4,000 Derby, the worlds most
trying and treacherous horse race.
Picking tomorrow's victorious 81
year-old was one Of the toughest Jobs
in the 157-year history OF the classic.
There wasn't standout colt among
the 81 probable starters; there had
not been really confident prediction
of victory by any owner, trainer or
jockey. and there appeared to be at
least six probable winners.

Although the EPSON course has a
