THE WORLDOF SPORT.
LUTHER CARY BREAKS A COUPLE
OF RECORDS.
williams Lowers the Hurdle Record.
Splendid Performances at the inter-
Collegiate Sports.

Record breaking is still the order Of
the day, especially in the athletic line.
Our boys broke some coast records,
and the telegraph brings word of worlds
records being beaten at the inter-colle-
giate games. Luther Carey showed him.
self to be the fastest amateur in Amer
ica, his record in the 22O being particu-
larly worthy of mention. H. L. Will
liams, who lowered the worlds record in
the hurdle race, is not unknown in the
athletic world. In 1890 he won the
championship at this game in the ex-
cellent time Of is 1-5 seconds.
Thus far the California horses
have not captured very many
of the big stake races in the east.
Sir John appears to be the best to show
up thus far, and he has more than held
his own. The races begin at Westches-
ter today. The st. Louis, Sheepshead
and Washington park club meetings
will be run during the present month.
California horses are well entered at
the above meetings, and many rich
horses from the Golden state.
