The historic walking matches,
of course, eventually gave way
when speed, rather than endur-
ance, became the goal. Six-day
walking races faded before six
day bicycle races, and marathon
races, becoming popular with the
first Olympic Games in 1896, fur

walkers.

Of the records set up back in the
last century still stand today.
Some of the famous men in the
history of these contests were
Foster Powell (1734.1793) and
George Wilson and Josiah Eaton,
who lived in the early 1S00's.
But the top-notch performer of
all time was said to be Edward
Payson Weston, an American
born in 1889 and who died in
1929. Among Weston's most
famous feats was walking 5000
miles in 100 days in England.
That made world headlines in
1883.
Weston, a sickly, underweight
youngster, found that the walk
ing required on his different
peddling jobs had improved his
health SO he determined to de-
velop himself as a pedestrian.
His first effort at long-distance
walking resulted from a wager
in 1861. He bet he could go on
foot from Boston to Washington,
