WESTON 0 1 HI 0*N HI ACK»|

An Appariiioii Ilia* in Watci.ed by Conuelieut Fauucjnk

Pair of Crimson Legs Scudding Around an Orchard—Weston's Yel'ow Setter.

Driving a Doctar from the Track The Spectators.

From tuu New York Pud.

At 2:15

P. M.

The rountrv people, unused to such an appurrtiion( stopped by the roadside watching the man. As he loped up the incline he leaned forward like the peddler. Harvey Birch in Cooper's "Spy."

The man's yellow dog, Bertie, more of a setter than a pointer, would follow him a few yards occasionally, and then sit upon her haunches until her master had made a score of rounds, wh^n the would follow him again for a short distance, sitting erect again for ten minutes.

A boy ot eight years was perched in an apple tree which shaded part of the track shaking off apples. "Look out, fop," he weald exclaim, as his father passed under the tree while the apples were falling. 2?hree men and a woman blood under ^at«e close to the track in the lot. One of the men kept tally of the laps made by the crimson legged man, while the others chatted, occasionally greeting the man on the track with an encouraging word, to which he would reply in a cheerful manner.

The man on the track was Edward Pay son Weston, preparing fOr the great walk for the Astley belt the boy up the tree was Ellswortn Fox Weston, the pedestrian'# son the woman under the ttee was Mrs. Weston the man keeping the score was Charles Spiers, Weston's English trainer the others were Mr, Hess and a reporter of the Sun.

At times strangers would climb tbe fence and walk toward the track, when Spiers would courteously inform them that the place was private and no intrusion would be allowed.

At 7 o'clock, when the dew began to fall and darkness and dampness were coming on apace, Weston left the track. He had rhade great performance. "You couldn't have got in here if vOU had not been an Old friend of mine,' said Weston, after returning to Ike h'ouae »nd changing h's clothes, He wa^'frestl as a daify and not at all fatigued mendous task. He had made lOOT.-ps around that slippery, uphill path, two of which were enough for the leporteras he jogged around with Weston,^indulging in a little chat- -'rfl *v»

Weston desired his exact performance kept a secret

he main thing with me in this •match," »aid Weston, "is abet I have made with Sir John Astley. No one but my wife knows what I am to do in the walk." •.

Weston has walked two weeks On the apple orchard track. He is nowb^gin•«in« to attract visitors. ,r...

Tois is my last day on the track here," said Weston, just before the writer departed tor New York. "I must have privacy, and people won't let me alpne." "To day," continued

I5*:

yesterday a queer look

ing nr.an appealed

in a little scrub 01

chard lot orl a farm a fe.v miler noith ot Stamlurd Conn. The man wan attireJ in a low pair of stout but pliable Erig liih walking shoes, bright scarlet wollen tight?, covered at the top with blue wol«n tuckc, and a white knit undershirt open at the neck. He was bareheaded and carried in his right hand a short vt'llow cane wi'h a white head, about the thickness of the second feint of a fishing rod. TIe man grasped the cane one-third of the distance from the head and started on a brisk walk over a well beaten, irregular path around the little orchard. The path wa6 just wide enou for one person to walk in. It was dark, wet, and slippery in places from the heavy rain ot the previous day. The path wa6 two inches lower than the sod through /vhich it had been cut. It was exactly one eigh'h of a mile round, with quite a rise at the upper side rnd end for neailvhalfa furlong. It was a hard path to* travel, and one which taxed all the muscles of the queerly clad man as he made his rounds. His brisk walk eoon quickened into a run. On he kept round alter round, and the rate of about a minute to each lap. Mile after mile A* as reeled off, until a strong horse would have broken down under the task.

Weston,

"Dr.

•Brown, of Stamforo, crossed the fence and came over to the track. Charley politely informed him that he must,leave, as I was not to be interfered with by any one. The Doctor said that he wa&^ound to see me, ar.d would run around the orchard with tne. Charley replied that he must not but the Doctor paid no at tenrion to him, and Started 9n a run after me. Then Charley wetvt fbr him and gave him one in the ear. I stopped and joined in. The Doctor Skedaddled mighty quick then, I tell you. It won't do to have every, ^qne interrupting me Will it, eh?"

Weston endedby laying that he should remain in seclusion until time for walk, and not appear in the city until the night ot the send-off.

His trainer and Mr, Hess say that he is in splerdid condition, lie certainly looks it. r.

The English trainer said that Ha*&el is more to be feared in the coming struggle than Rowell, although he looks upon the lattrr as a wonderful man.

Weston fc not disposed to talk abou the match. He is niervous if intruded upon •. Ii ss said the walk will certainly 4k- begun soortly after 12 o'clock on next Sunday night,

*Ve clip the following from the St uie Republican. The head lines and all are fiom that paper: .* THE LONDON CIRCUS—THE FINEST TENT

SHOW EXHIBITION EVER SEEN I IN ST. LOUIS. The reason of the Great London Cir cus was inaugurated yesterday, exhibitions fe-.ing given afternoon and eveiiifr- The audience of the afternoon vvtu* iar^e that of the night the largest

ever 6een in the city, the seating capacity of the mammoth tent being tested to its utmost. The performances gave general satisfaction and elicited loud and pro longed applause, to which they were undoubtedly entitled. The menagerie attached to the show i» a very fine one, embracing many rare and valuable specimens of the animal kingdom. The ten elephants, the baby camel, the three baby lions were the most prominent features and commanded great attention. To the circus pei formance too much praise could not be given. It is long, varied and interesting, containing many features new to the public. The riding, tumbling, leaping, trapeze performance, the military drill of the elephants and their formation of a pyramid—in fact the entire exhibition from beginning to end gained the applause of those who witnessed it. It was the best circus performance ever seen in St. Louis.

One particular feature of the show dese.ve* comment. No "candy butchers," as the peanut and lemonade venders are termed, are allowed to walk upon the seats. The audience enjoy the exhibition undisturbed. Another feature— the electric light—also deserves special mention. It is a splendid illuminator, rendering the tents at night as bright as day. It is kept burning during the day in order that thrse who attend the afternoon exhibition may see its power. It forms one of the most attractive features of the show, it

From tho Virginia, Nev., Chronicle. An old blunderbuss weighing fifty six poundB, was on exhibition at the Delta saloon. It was intended to be used in the bear hunt used in the bear hunt, which comes of in the Sierra Valley, next month. The weapon is a big, bell shaped affair, and six loads of buckshot is its regular allowance. This morning ack Magee took it out to the race track to test it When the smoke cleared off he was found lying about forty feet from where he had been standing, when he ulled the trigger, he was able to sit up the courbe of an hour, and he called at once for a Chronicle.
