PHENOMENAL MILE RUNS.
List of Horses That Have Covered
Mile in and Under 1:41.

Mile in and Under 1:41.
The following horses ran mile in
1: al and better in 1890. Last year four
teen performers earned a like distinc-
ton. Maori heading the list with the
figures of 1:39 As. Only two accom-
plished the feat in 1888, Eolian's 1:404
being the best; but in 1887 four got in
this circle, Stuvvesant leading with his
mark of l 40. Burch and Swift each ran
a mile in 1:41 in 1856, but in 1885 not a
single performer covered that distance
in such rapid time. Up to date fourteen
horses have run mile in l: 40 or better,
and eight accomplished this feat in 1890,
thus making the running season which
just closed the banner year of American
turf history. Monmouth parks straight
course is responsible for seven of these
records, Racine being the, only horse
during the-year to run mile in l: 40 or
better on circular track; and of the
horses that have now beaten 1:40, which
are six in number, he. Ten Brock. and
Maori ran on the old-style course, Saliva
tor, Raveloe and Charley Post covering
a straight track. With the course now
in use at Long Branch the runner prom
ises to keep pace with the trOtter OH his
kite-shaped track in thu matter of
record breaking and 1891 will prob
ably lay 1890 as far IN the
shade as the latter did the season
previous to that of 1889. The perform
ance this year of Salvador ove1shadows
the records of all countries. The best
mile ever run in Australia stands to the
credit of Frying Pan, he covering the
distance in / :37. Saunterer, Bay Mid
dleton and Gladiator are all accredited
with having covered the Rowley mile in
England, which is mile and seventeen
yards, in the neighboriood OF 1:3S.
English tradition tells of Flying Child
ers running the distance in l:36, but 1t
is probable the statement was the dream
Of some enthusiast, as thu records pOr-
tray nothing to substantiate such a
claim. The list follows:
