BETTERING A RECORD
The fastest time on record ~ is coming in
with great force just at present, the latest, as
far as The TRIBUNE is CONCERNED, being an ac-
count of the performance of Mr.. Frank I.oncy,
OF Baltimore, who is alleged to have run one
fourth OF mile id ST 2-5 seconds
at Princeton athletic games. This is claimed as
the fastest time on record, because It is ahead
Of the Saratoga meeting, where the record was
56 seconds, aud of the Harvard contest, where
81 was put down. This claim OF IS fastest on
record" is alluded to to add that the amateur
should examine the books before making the
assertion. In this case it is proper to saY that
the quarter OF mile has been made iu 4SL Sec
onds, or about q seconds faster than Mr..
aoney's performance. It was run in this time
by r. Buttery, at Newcastle, Eng, Oct. 4, 1878
