Garret Brower of this city walked 2,000 miles when he was ninety years old. le is now ninety-seven years old and for the past three years he has given up walking as a regular occu pation. But for about 12 years before that he walked persistently, in bad weather and good, on week days and holidays. And this at a time when he had long passed beyond the three score and ten years supposed to be man's allotted span of life. He used to walk with a pedometer at his belt 9s his only companion. From his former home on Willough by avenue, he would walk out to the Williamsburg bridke and across to Manhattan. This not appearing long enough for a grownup man, he often would walk back to the Brooklyn end of the bridge and then cross and re cross the bridge two or three times before starting home. In his diary he kept a record of the distances cov ered on these expeditions. They va ried from month to month; but seven years ago, when he had reached the age of ninety, his walks still averaged six miles a day. Being now close to the century mark, he has discontinued Walking out of doors. "A friend hor rowed by pedometer," he explained with a laugh.-Brooklyn Eagle.
