New YORK, June 26.-Milii0na ire j
B. Haggin's game little mare Firenzi,
emulating the example of her stable
mate Salvador, to-day lowered by one
second the worlds record for one and a
half miles in the race for the Coney
Island cup at Sheepshead bay. Luke
Blackburn, with t02 pounds up, made
the record at Monmouth Park III 1880.
Jim Guest, carrying ninety-two pounds,
equaled it at Washington Park in 1886,
and Firenzi herself, carrying 1l3 pounds,
ran the distance in 2:34, the record at
Monmouth in 1888. Her performance
to-day, when she clipped full second
from the record was all the more re-
markable from the fact that she carried
1T pounds, fifteen more than the great
Luke Blackburn labOred under when he
made his greatest mark. CassIus, as
usual, went out and made the running,
followed by Firenzi. Cassius led by two
lengths to the stretch, where Firenzi
challenged him and drawing away won
by three lengths. CaSsfus beat Tea
Tray four lengths. Summaries:
