Starbuck Beats Michael.
j. Frank Starbuck accomplished feat
Saturday afternoon on the one-third-mile
track at Willow Grove Philadelphia, that
was hitherto thought impossible, at least
by an American. He lowered the colors Of
greatest twenty-five-mile race ever run in
this country. That the time was not the
fastest Is accounted for by the high wind
that prevailed. blowing straight down the
back stretch though this helped on the way
home, for it was right on the riders backs.
Allowing for this great drawback the time
made. 1902 1-5, is very near record time,
which is 1853 40. held by Michael.
