Captain Barclay.

THE FATHER OF PEDESTRIANISM

This gentleman, who may Almost be said to have been the father of pedestrian ism, commenced his athletic exercises when very young. He was only a boy whan he entered upon his first match, in which he undertook fora bet of IQ&guineas to walk six miles iaside an hour. The event came off on the Oroydon Road in the month of August, 1796, young Barclay winning very easily, and from that time j for eon* years he was constantly attempt ing and accomplishing something very much out of the common on the turnpike road. His powers of endurance were very great, and all weathers came alike to Mm. Thus for a bet of 5000 guineas he undertook to walk 90 miles in 2l£ hours, but during his training for the feat, accomplished the distance of 110 miles in 19 hours, notwithstanding that it rained in torrents all the time he was walking and tht»t he was up to his heels in mud. In fche month of July ©f the same year, 1803 he walked from Suffolk street, Charing Cross, to New market, in ten hours, in one of the hottest days in a very hot season, without showing the least fatigue. He was allowed twelve hours to do the 64 miles, and so won easily. He could also run fairly well, and, opposed to Mr John Ward in a quarter-mile spin for a big stake, beat that gentleman easily, win ning, pulling up, by ten yards, in the not bad time of 53sec ; he could also cover a mile well inside smin without any pre paration. As a further instance of his endurance the following self-imposed task may be mentioned: —In August-, 1808, he visited the house of his friend, Colonel Farquharson, at Allanmore, Aberdeen shire, where he went out grouse shooting on the mountains at five in the morn ing, doing which it was computed he travelled thirty miles. He returned to the house to dinner at 5 o'clock in the after k noon, and in the evening set off for his home at Ury, a distance of sixty miles, which ha walked in oleven hours, without once stopping to refresh, Arrived home he transacted some business which needed attention, then walked to Laurence Kirk, sixteen miles, where he danced at a ball during the night, snd returned to Ury by seven in the morning. He did not than go to bed, but passed the day occupied with more grousa shooting. He had thus travelled not less than 130 miles, sup posing him to have gone only eight miles in the course of a day's shooting at home, and also danced all night at Laurence Kirk, without sleeping or having been in bed for two nights and nearly three dayt
