MIR. Ed COrrigan's late misde.
meaDor at Louisville. KY, consisted
itseems,in not protesting against the
running of his horse Owen Bowling,
the animal being unfit, but the
judges decided as there was money
on him, he must take his place. The
fact of the horse losing the race
brought his owner into some
disrepute and considerable horse no
toriety. Mr.. Corrigan has stable
of thirteen horses, among which is
the ma Pearl Jennings.

FAST MEN.
American sprinters are not
credited with records for great per-
formances in England. When
Myers was in England in 1881, at
the London Athletic clubs grounds,
he ran quarter mile against their
best record of SOLO seconds. He
made the distance in 1915 seconds,
for which feat he was presented
with a medal on which was in
scribed "Best on record" One
week later at Birmingham, he fur
Their reduced the record to even
40 seconds, for which he
received another medal with the
same inscription, "Best on record"
The Saturday following he again
eclipsed all former performances, by
the worlds" Best on record"
of 4S .3-5. After Myers return to
America, he received from tie Eng
lish amateur association another
medal bearing the words, "Best on |
record" In the face of all this the
English Athletic association an
nounced another purse to any
,printer who can beat the record of |
50.1-5 seconds. Evidently Myers
doesn't count.
Hutchens disappoints his friends
BY taking 321s seconds in which to
run the 800 yards.
FAST GOVERNORS.
An eastern sporting journal is
credited with the assertion that
The Governors of Missouri and
Utah are regular attendants at all
pugilistic encounters. Our Eli
must expect to meet Mr.. Roscoe
COnkling in his lobbying az Wash
ngtoD, and wishes to be prepared |
should she happen to be arrayed
against the scientific ex-senator.
