While Walking in Match With Dr. Webb, Noted Pedestrian Suddenly Began to Backstep. Dr. W. E.

Webb, who died here Wednesday, once engaged in a walking contest with Edward Payson We. a. the famous walker. It was in 1874, when both Weston and Dr. Webb were young men.

Even at that time Weston had acquired considerable reputation as a walker. He was engaged by the management of the fair at Dela ware, Ohio, as one of the drawing attractions. The fair people had offered a prize of $500 to any person who could keep up with Weston for five miles on the race track. Dr. Webb once described his contest with the famous walking man this way: "Weston was a small, compactly built man; there were many entered for the race much larger and stronger, apparently.

At the tap of the bell some 200 of us started after that $500. Weston did not walk fast, Just an even, steady motion. At every mile several dropped out. After the first mile was past there were only about fifty in the race. At the end of the third mile Weston and myself were the only contestants.

I was feeling all right that $500 was as good as mine. As we plodded along Weston grew social and talked about walking and how he kept himself in trim. He wore knee breeches, long stockings and used a light weight riding whip to switch his legs. He said that was to keep up the circulation. I notice by the papers he still follows the practice.

'Ab we drew near the mile and a half mark I wouldn't have sold my chance of keeping up with him for $499. That was the rule of the game to keep up with Mr. Weston. Suddenly he turned and looked at me with a sort of grin and commenced walking backwars as fast as he did forward. I hadn't practiced that way and he was soon out of reach.

I tried to keep up, but It was no use. He had me on that last half mile lap, and the big crowd cheered like It does when the home team wins the pennant. "It was a fair deal all right, but of course it fooled me. Weston Is a good old sport and I admire the pertinacity with which he sticks to the game. He sure Is a good walker." Mrs.

Harry D. Walker was hostess to a small number of ladles at a fancy work party on Wednesday afternoon and again on Thursday afternoon, Dainty and delicious refreshments graced hot hoccaslons. Mayor Payson and the present city council have been making a splendid record for efficiency.
