Weston left Hyde Park et 8.80, Chicago time. on Thursday morning, Nov. 28, and proceeded leisurely toward the city, smoking his third cigar since he left Portland. When he bad proceeded about a mile and 'a half toward the city, the Hyde Park train came along loaded with passengers, and probably owing to the curiosity of the engineer, the train was stopped, and cheer after cheer went tip Irani the passengers. Weston replied by waving his handkerchief. The crowd, which at first was not very large, kept receiving additions until, as be entered Cottage Grove avenue, there could not have been less than 3,000 persons ac companying him. At Camp Douglas he was joined by fifty policemen, An ter the guidance of Captain Nelson. The poi formed in a hollow square, Weston was placed in the centre, and the crowd moved on. Every few rods, as new accessions to the already large num ber following him were made, cheer after cheer went up, and none seemed too proud or unwil ling to countenance his journey and its success ful termination, by withholding their meed of praise. The race ended at the city limits, but. in order that there might be no quibbling on this point, he determined upon going to the Poitc office, and did so, as the following schedule of his route will show : At the city limits, a detachment of fifty mem bers of the Chicago police force, including a mounted advance guard, awaited the arrival of the pedestrian. Ho stepped over the line at seven C.yAl a half minutes past 9 o'clock, ac cordinl• to Giles Bros.' Chicago time, and here bis ',regress was arrested for a few moments by our old citizen, F. Munson,. Esq., President of the, National Insurance Company, who had ac companied him from Oakland, and who now in a few words. welcomed him to the great and progressive city of the Wtst. Mr. Munson wel comed him as a fast man coming to a fast city, and congratulated him on thus being insured of the success of his great undertaking. Weston briefly thanked the gentleman, and ex pressed great pleasure at the magnitude of the ovation which had been tendered him by the good people of Chicago. In answer to a (Ines= lion ref: ..rding his conditiOn, he said—"l can walk just a , long at this rate' as I have a mind to, and I can walk one hundred miles in twenty four hours." oclB-2a3rlt The police tiow farmed a hollow Square, in the tcntre of which Weston walked. As he left the limits he asserted that he considered his walk concluded and his wager won. The crowds in the street were so large that- business was brought to a complete-stop. IILeAFFROACII OF IN:i:J.i.TON When the great annihilator of space actually approached, the enthusiasm - became perfectly tumult , out. i ; Men swore and pushed, and tram pled 'on each others toes In their excitement; ladi s i rushed to 'windows and balconies, and with clapping of hands and waving of handkerchiefs testified - their approbation, while small boys placed themselves in all kinds of dangerous po sitions for the sake of obtaining a bight at the waThist. and thereby added materially to the gen eral excitement. One standing on Wabash aVentie—a stranger, suppose—would have had extreme difficulty in knowing what all this stir was about. Supposi tions stranger so plaCed would have wonderingly looked abroad upon a mass of vehicles, and w h at is called in common reportorial parlance, a " sea of heads," and would have seen nothing more. Lookint aloft he would have seen handkerchiefs fluttering, young men getting excited, old men churning up a semblance of enthusiasm, and every one wild to see a mac walk down the ave nue, guarded by a sufficient...number ofpollce, and headed by the Great Western Light Guard Band, acting very creditably, considering the oc casion. So the hero who had annihilated so many miles of road—difficult roads, too, as he states—was welcomed to the city, A strong pass: of the po lice force went out to meet him. The Great Western Light Guard Band went out to play him in. The whole wealth and fashion of the city turned out to do him honor, and Mr. Weston Should have been the proudest man in the world. Mr. Weston himself seemed to perfectly ap preciate the ovation tendered to him, and as he smilingly glanced from side to side, looked as happy as the happiest of the spectators. Arilvinz at the Sherman House, cheer after cheer rang out upon the air, until, in response to their vociferous calls, he appeared upon the balcony, escorted by Mr. Hamlin, and bearing In his arms his little girl, a flaxen, curly-haired little fairy of two or three years. For a few mo ments the applause was Ileafening, while he stood bowing his thanks. In answer to repeated calls of "speech, speech," he replied.: Gentle men, I have a short speech to make, but it is for the little one here," and holding her up, pressed his lips to her little forehead. Atter having . given the crowd an opportunity ofgratifying their curiosity at sight of the great walker, he again bowed and retired. no3a•l.trp• the crowd that greeted the great pedestrian at the Opera House was much larger than in the afternoon, though even then it was smaller than we had anticipated. After the musical portion of the programme bad been disposed of in a most excellent manner by the Great Western Lloht Guard Band, Mr. 'C'Veston was introduced and most enthusiastically received. When the ap plause had subsided be spoke as follows : Ladies and Grutlenuit: I feel very thankful to you for the kind manner in which I have been received in Chicago to-day. I am not quite so vain as to take it all as a compliment to myself alone, or to my action during the past thirty days; but as a compliment to an American citi zen, who, I think, has shown that in the art, if I may so term it, of walking, be has eclipsed any act of a similar nature across the water. The fatigue and trouble through which I have passed during_ the last month is entirely forgotten when I of the kind manner in which my exer tions have been rewarded. I have received a great deal of censure from various parties for not - accomplishing one por tion of this feat—that of walking one hundred miles inside of twenty-four consecutive hours, during this walk, which was originally under stood to be 1,226 miles. I can only say, if the assertion of this amounts to anything, and in my heart I know I speak candidly and - honestly when I say that I used every exertion to accom plish that feat. I tried, but in vain. I had every obstacle to contend with. I agreed to walk one hundred miles inside of forty-four consecutive hours, but I agreed that those miles should be at a measurement of 1,728 yards each; and when I say that, I don't contend that I can do more than any other American citizen, but I think it would puzzle an Englishman (applause)—but the miles, or many of them, that I was obliged to travel, have been Indiana miles. [Laughter.] I will merely state one anecdote, which, though I was very sleepy this afternoon, I tried to tell as well as I could : I started from, Calumet, Ind., to come to Illinois, and we engaged apilot there. I asked the pilot before we started : "Pilot, how far do you call it from hero to Chicago ?" "Well," says he, "by the road we take—let me see—nine and two are twelve, and three is eighteen," says he, "just twenty-four miles from here to Chicago by road, and forty-one by rail road. The road is very good," says he; "there is some sand." I found "some sand." [Laughter.' I started, and I had glorious company, and we pilled over that road at the rate of four miles an hour for four hours. When we stopped' for tea we were lust seventeen miles from Catmint, or, In other words seventeen of -the forty-four miles that this guide had kindly informed me was the distance, from Calumet to, MAO. I stopped thereand partook of refteetmete, , and cowl out lm mot another '4_0114-smother Maw' "Idfr 'bat7 oll bebl44 :Poooktb. to tin ine b.Oll alit la WA* WV to (ntb:Vl:#. WESTON. PEEILADEttIITA, ,MONPAY, DECEMBER 2, 1867. "Well," says be, "It's just forty-five miles by the wagon road." fOreat applause and laughter. J Sol. bad been four hours getting one mile backward ! I thought I bad done well, but that , was riot C°, and if' Chicago had been one hundred miles off, I felt bound to got there before 12 o'clock to-day, because I had an invi tation to dine here, and I have a peculiar facility for keeping my appointments, especially on thanksgiving day. In this manner I have been thwarted when I have tried to perform- this feat.• of walking 4 one hundred miles inside of twenty-four hours., had no opportunity to look over my route and' time-table to make any estimate in regard to that, but now I contemplate having an oppor tunity of doing so—to-morrow evening. I want to state here that I have been for the past week under a fearful state of excitement from the fact that I have received an innumerable, number of letters, a great many of them anony mow, threatening me with the use of a coffin , get into Chicago with, from the limits; that is, WSl,b promised to die Just outside of Chicago; but I feel that I don't look like a dead man. During the past 48 hours X. have had a great deal of road to travel over; nice road; Indiana road. I have a peculiar love for that road, and I have not had any opportanity to prepare any proper remarks. What remarks I make I mast apologize for, bemuse they may be somewhat disconnected. There are many sports termed athletic sports, such as gymnastics, rowing, yachting, base-ball playing, horse.racing, and pedestrianism. Ido _not think that prize-fighting . comes under the same head. There are other sports termed brutal sports, such as dog-fighting, cock-fight ing and prize-fighting. I have been associated, or rather people have tried to associate me with that class of people—prize-fighters. I say it here, as I have always said It, if it were for no other reasons, if I had no further principle to guide me than the respect that .I. have tor my fatally, and the respect that I have for my mother, I would not allow myself to be as sociated with men . who stand up and hammer each other's faces to pieces for a few thousand dollars. LAPplaupe.) Why pedestrianism should be classed ar a crime, or why a person, because he can walk a few miles. more or lees. should be called a prize-tighter, or becaure he bets on that race should be called a gam. bier, 1 'can't see it." • You get a oar life Insured. or an accident policy is issued to you for five thousand dellarr for one day, oe a week, or a month. It for a month, the company which insured yoar life against accident for five thousand dollars bets yen five thousand dollar/ against five dollars that you will not be killed inside of the month. If a man starts to walk on a joke, or anything of the kind, from his office to his house, and hie triends know it, tiad they say to one nether, "1 es ill bet you en event r suppler that so nd so can't walk to him house inetde of thestime,w is thieman en at does the wailtiug obliged to answer fur the sins, if sines on may call them, of them , men hint's( the oyster Bole err? I can't fee it. ifeaaghter and applause.) I have not contended, and I don't wish to, that In per forming line feat of walking which my friends, the re. tort erg. have, been pleased to term a great and unequaled pedestrian performance. I have done any more than any American citizen can do. In ' walking thirteen hundred and sixteen miles in twenty-six days', while it is a very fair walk for this tetanal of the year, when you come through Indiana [laughter), yet lit the game tinsel don't contend that I have done any more than any American young man can do. Tint I must contend, and it le with Pride I do ;fay, that I. think it would puzzle an English man to do it. Ile might find some fault with the miles. - bat - then - thtTeati them-"Engthskiemiles." • This exerciee of walking puts a glow upon the checks and make one look healthy, and I think if the American p. ople. if the young men of America, were to walk more —and I hope the superintendents of the horse-railroads will pardon me—sad patronize the herse-railroads less, that they would be more healthy: that they would eat heartier =tale, and they would feel better when they retire at night, and arise much better in the morning. I state this from this fact Before I started upon this rece e 'l never ate any breakfast of any account in the morning. I pimply drank a cup of coffee and ate a piece of broad, whereas, since I have started on this race I have eaten well, I will say moderately—ewe or six meals a day (laughter and - applaneel, end hearty ones, as my good filend, the proprietor of the Kinnard House, in Cleveland, had • occasion to remark. Re said that.he would like to board me, but ifl was going to take piedee trian tripe all my lifetime he would rather board me a week than a mouth. ll.sanghtelei And if yon will baler with nee 1 will relate here en anec dote which may have same bearing on this question of eating: I once boarded with a lady in New York whole one of those landladies that kept a Boarding-house and retired-with a large tortune in a short time, and her boarders retired with her, .but they • were a very bad-looking set of boarders when they tette", She used to come to me every morning—l was naturally tilillain, blunt Fort of a man. and - she came to me one morning, sad isaye she, "Mr. Weston. I take a motherly interest in you." "Well." says I, "I am very glad of it: I like to have any one take a motherly interest in me." - Says she, "1 have been thinking for some time that you are injuring yourself." And I asked her why. "Welt," says she, yre eat too ranch": Iliauehter.] Now this landlady used 'to have, if you will - excuse the expression, fried eggs for bret kfast, and there were twelve boarders of us, and she need to cook thirteen eggs, and they would go wound one apiece. I would manage to be the last young man at the table. and I would generally call for an extra egg. The good lady stood it as long as ale could, for about a week or more, and one morning we (she and I) Fat at the breakfast table alone, and I called for an extra egg, as usual, Said she, "Mr. Weston, you know that I told you the otffer day that I took a motherly b e t e . rest in you. end you won't misconstrue my motives. but," says she, "you will excuse my remarking that you are testing too much, and I don't think you had better have another egg. I should just as Have you would have it, but two eggs would make you bilious." I told her I should like to be bilious, and, therefore, I would take tsvo eggs. (Laughter.) There arc many of von, probably, who have eomo cu riosity to know in -whist manner tilts race has affected me bodily. As you have probably seen, as I hove formy friends, the reportere here, have given it to me right and lel t through' the press. Biblical allusions, etc.—l have been under a great state of excitement during the whole time, cue reason is, it has been a bad season of the year for walking, although my Creator has been exceeditigly kind to me in giving me as little bad weather as one could peteibly expect at this season of the year. Still, I bare Linn obliged to strain any nervous system f o the utmost in order to accomplish this task, and have hardly known what I have been about some of the time. I was labortne under great disadvantages through out the entire journey, and, as 1 remarked before, 1 don't with to take the flattering receptions I hare received in the cltiee through whim I have passed as a compliment to myself (I hope I am not so vain 11$ tlmt) hut ex a compliment to the energy of an American rides u; and I think any one 'militia) the same, that /my American yr nag wan that will try It will do it as well as I have. 1 hope he will do better, and, be aeeured, I would not be jealone. and would not try to walk further or do better than he lies; but I would eimply suggest, If any on o is ambitious to do anything of the kind, that he should ovoid Indiana (applause), unless they take the Michigan Central Ilailroad. The bed of the road is splendid, and I propo ie to take It on my way home, but I propose to take R car along with me. As I told my guide last night—l would keep Belting him how far we were—"when I win this race I mu going out in Indiana and buy land by the mile, and will make a fortune in a few days, for if I buy rive miler I have got the whole State." [Laughter.) • In conclusion, let me once more ask you to pardon the manner in which I have made these tow remarks to night. I have had no epporturnity to prepare thorn; I em not a public epeaker, and never made a speech before until this afternoon, and then I confess I was sleepy, and, to use a common expression, I did not know whether I was afoot or horseback. I hope before I leave Chicago to have a chance to meet many of your citi. zeue, and let me take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for your cordial and hearty welcome. [Great applause.) At the conclusion of Mr. Weston's address, which was listened to throughout with the greatest attention, the assemblage dispersed, and the great pedestrian, accompanied by a few friends, returns ct to the Sherman House. WEliTON'ti lIISTOAY AU sorts of rumors regarding Weston's previous ex ploit! in pedestrianism have been circulated, until those not acquainted with the facts believe him capable of do ing anything Ipe wiebes in the way , of walking. We have, however, the best of evidence for saying that with the exception of two feats, one in March, 1861, and the other shortly after during the riot in Baltimore, in the same year. - Mr. Weston has, never performed any noticeable thing in the walking line until the present journey. As stated above, his tirit feat wse in 1861 • the terms of the wager,and the reasons therefor, we give below in his own language: During the Presidential campaign of 1860, I made a wager with Mr. George B. Eddy, of Worceeter, Mass., to this effect: that if Abraham Lincoln was elected by the People Preeident of these United States, I would agree to walk from the Boston State House to the Capitol at Washington, D. C. miles), de of ab consecutive ndred and seventy•eight ineide of ten dam I engaged also to be present at his inauguration. He (Mr. .Eady) agreeing to do the Name thing if Mr. Lincoln was not elected. It wan simple a banter between owsclves While dining together one day, and I do not suppose that either of us st that time had the remotest idea of ever ac complishing ouch a task. For my own part, I wan not aware, 'at the time, that I possessed any groat locomotive powers • and Mt. Eddy has frequently said to me, that if tie had been • the unfortunate victim, he should--`,most deCidedly have preferred to got excused." Having loot the wager, he prepared to fulfill his part of the agreement- Having arranged everything to his 'sat isfaction, he left the Court-house in Boston, on Friday, Feb. 21 at 1.401'. M. and arrived at the Capitol' building in Washington, D. c 510 miles from Boston, at SP. M. of M ondg ; March 4, i r r a tltme to win his wager. All along his route a people m ested a great deal of Interest in him. an did everything in their power to make his trip ~ agreeable. Again, in the following April. his fame as a pedestrian having neon extentivei' c ir culated, he was selected to carry a Mail to the Un A soldiers stationed at Annapo. lie and., the mall Sorel ' having been suspended to that point on account of the trouble in Baltimore, and on the ', evening of 'ApTIIII6,II6I '-he started on his minion with 117 let,.,terLitnis D. sale 'He , performed his "mission 9 11 4 2xan sathirlwigu'l a n d lili'lWashthstos in an meredw .bly sbcdt time. id + Itairalusble letters for the heads of Abe y1a19.14, exits.
