LONGEST JUMP ON RECORD.
Made by the Irish Athlete, Prof. New
burn of Dublin.

| MnO0 Dy tho irish Atniete, IIois ~"
burn of Dublin.
] Followers OF athletic sports nave
been startled by the wonderful broad
| jumping performances in Ireland and
England OF w. j. M. Newburn. This
athlete now holds the best on record OF
the world, twenty-four feet six and
three-quarters inches, which he made
at Mulllnger, Ireland. recently. This
is SO far in advance OF anything which
the most celebrated running broad
jumpers Of the world have ever done
that 1t could scarcely be believed.
Had it not been for the fact that this
great athlete cleared over twenty-four
feet in public six times last summer
on different grounds and under differ
ent conditions 1t Is doubtful If on this
side of the Atlantic athletes would adj
nit the genuineness of his best per-
Torrance. There are only about eight
jumpers who have ever cleared twenty
three feet or over in this country,
Great Britain and Australia. When it
is considered that Newburn leads the
whole field by nearly foot his ability
can all the more be appreciated. New
burn stands s feet 6 inches in height
and weighs 2OS pounds. His chest
measures AZ inches, thigh 251a inches,
and calf 16 inches. Newburn starts
with his run about $50 feet back from
the take-off, and approaches rather
slowly certain mark, about ninety
feet away from the take-off. On arriv-
ing at this mark he has given enough
momentum to his body to have quick
ened his speed, which he does after
getting the foot with which he jumps
at this mark His strides after leaving
this mark increase in length as his
speed increases, and the last three or
four measure over ten feet in length,
for by this time he is going at his ut
most speed. The stride just in front
of the take-off is not over seven feet
long, for he must gather himself then
for the jump, and if he put his jump
ing foot too far in front of him he |
would more or less retard his momen
IL
ground he gets great rise" and lit
orally sails through the air. Just be-
fore landing it would seem that his /
feet were going to touch, when he
tucks them under him, and their being
handled so gives the uninitiated an i'm
preston that he is taking second
spring. Then when his head and
shoulders are so close to the ground
that he can postpone the inevitable no
longer he shoves his feet in front of
him. and the momentum of his whole
body carries him forward and pre-
vents falling back Like nearly all of
he best running broad jumpers, New
burn is fast Splinter and has been
credited with running 106 yards in ten
seconds. His stride when running his
fastest in this race is from 10 feet
inches to 10 feet inches, and he is
he longest striding athlete ever heard
If since athletic sport has been chron-
cled. He is a professor in Claremont
College, Dublin, and practices his ath-
etics solely for health He lays par
ocular stress on the fact that he
leither smokes nor drinks. He writes
hat he intends to come to America

A YUBA COUNTY SUIT.
Action TO Prevent Sale of Property
Of an Irrigation District.

MARYSVILLE. Feb. 23.-Suit was in
stituted in the Superior Court of Yuba
County to-day to restrain the Collector
for the Browns Valley Irrigation Dis
trict from selling the property of the
district, advertised to be sold for taxes
in 1897.
The complaint recites that the orig
inal petition for the formation of a dis
trict to the Board of Supervisors OF
Yuba County did not purport to have
been signed by any one, and did not
show who caused the same to be pub
lished: that the advertisement for the
sale of the bonds of the district was
not made for the statutory period that
the bonds were sold at a date SIX
months prior to their actual accept
ance: that no plans or estimates for
the construction of the works of the
district were considered prior to the
election held for the issuance of the
bonds.
A temporary injunction was issued
by Superior Judge John c. Gray.
The Browns Valley Irrigation Dis
trict embraces 5000 acres, and has a
bonded debt of $4,000.
