WONDERFUL RUNNING.
Maxwell Longs New Worlds Record
of 10 40 Seconds for 44O Yards.

Maxwell Longs New Worlds Record
of 10 4-5 Seconds for 40 Yards.
The annual fall games Of the New York
Athletic Club were held Saturday at Trav-
ers Island. near New York city, before
1000 spectators. The weather was raw and
unsuitable for clever work Two world's
records We're, nevertheless, broken.
The first of Them will long be remem-
bered in athletic history. 1t was the 40
yard run handicap, In which Maxwell w.
Long of Columbia University made the re-
markable time Of 45tS seconds. which
eclipses all former records, amateur and
professional, on a circular track The best
previous record 4s&. seconds, made by
the late L. E. Myers at Stenton, Pa, on
October 13, 1881.
The present English record is 4s1a sec
onds. held Jointly by II. c. L. Tindall and
F. G. Bredlin. Wendell Baker of Harvard
holds a straightaway exhibition record of
Az. seconds. made at Beacon Park, Bos-
ton, in 1887, but as his best record for a
circular path is 30 seconds, the exhibition
has never been seriously accepted by ath-
letic authorities. Long ran from scratch
in a handicap race and was forced to run
rather wide at one of the turns. He Won
by eighteen yards.
The other worlds record was by John
Flanagan, N. Y A. c., in the hammer
throwing He sent the missile 100 feet 4
inches, beating the former record of 167
feet inches, made by himself on the same
ground two years ago.
In the ot-putting event Horgan, the
Irishman, holder of the English record,
failed in his attempt to beat the American
record of Al feet, his best effort being As
feet 4 inches.
The swimming championships of the Am
ateur Athletic Union were held in conjunc-
tion with the meet, and E. c, Shafer of the
University of Pennsylvania carried off the
| 100 yards, 220 yards and 440 yards events.
| In the 100 yards he lowered the American
record of l minute Sf5 seconds to I minute
| Ja5 seconds. DR.. w. G.. Douglas, the old
| time champion swimmer. carried off the
half-mile in capital style, and his victory
| created great enthusiasm among aquatic
| enthusiasts.
