The Chk!ago Reptibhean has the following ac
count of the arrival in that city of Weston, the
pedestrian: •
DEPARTI*RK FROM HYDE PARK.
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

"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

•
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

Tux Time:mos.—The Lottoly of Life is announced
at the Walnut this evening. Tnis joarnal expressed
its opinion of the merits of the play Immediately after_
its first representation. Since then the respectable
press of the city has taken precisely similar ground in
regard to it. There is an evident desire on tue part of
the author to provoke a controversy upon the subject,
and with this view be has publisheda long defence of
his production. This, doubtless, would be au ad
mirable method of attracting public attention to it;
but as Mr. Brougham thought necessary to apologize
for it himself tipon the first night of its presentation,
and as he has failed to show that it does nor need an
apology, the dispute will be very one-sided, if, indeed,
the newspapers do not, like the BULLETIN, decline to
orate the question. At the Arch the flue drama of
R6eedale will be produced this evening, with splendid
stage effects and a first-rate cast. It was under Mrs.
cw's administration that this play was produced, in
this city some time ago, and all wno saw it then will
recollect that it was performed k a most admirable
manner. In the present scarcity of legitimate drama
it cannot fail to attract large audiences every evening.

a varied performance.

Alas. laser.m— This evening at the Academy of
Music Mrs. Lander will appear for the first time this
eeuf on in her famous personation of Elizabeth. She
will be supported by Mr. J. 11. Taylor as "Essex," and
