The milo which Jimmy Michael covered in l
minute and 81 seconds at the Willow Grove
track, Philadelphia, on last Thursday. will. it is
believed, be recognized as a worlds record. The
feat OF j. w. Stocks OF England in riding a milo
in l minute and 80 2.5 seconds was accomplished
with the aid Of an electric pacing machine,
which the L. A. w. refuses to recognize, 80 that
Michael's performance easily discounts that OF
the Englishman. 1t is the general belief that
Michael can ride a mile in / minute and 50
seconds, and he will try to do it before the close
OF the year.
The following reports, received Mt the L. A. w.
headquarters yesterday as to the condition Of
tho roads IN the surrounding towns. indicate
that tourists can take extended trips tomorrow.
