Cabanue made 4 try for the worlds
record for two miles, and would have
broken il but for bad pacing in the last
quarter. Lumsden and Cooper paced
him on a tandem. AT the last quarter
Sanger took up the pace and was
ahead OF Cabanue when Johnson and
johnson took up the pace. They were
bit slow, and at least a second was
lost, with the result that Cabanne failed
10 break the record By three-fiths OF a
second. his time being AIS 3.5. IL
looked like a record breaker, however,
I'D TO the last hundred yards or so.
Bliss made a try for the half-mile
State record and broke IL, doing the
circuit I'm IS SIS, or one second better
,han the best previous speed.
There was notable lack OF enthu-
s.asm during the meet
