Distances from $50 to 500 Yards
in the N. Y. A. &C. Pool.
BEATS HANDY's LONG MARK
Bud" Goodwin Also Comes Close
to Record and Wins Contest
Trough Liberal Handicap.

NEW YORK. February 5.-once more
Charles n. Daniels. OF the New York
Athletic Club. took fall out Of Father
Times best swimming figures when he
established new records in the Mercury
Foot" pool for all standard dis
tances from $50 yards up to go yards.
He started to lower the record of 6nl. AS.
for zoo yards, held by II. j. Handy. Of
the Chicago Athletic Association, and had
little difficulty in chopplng 1t down to
6m. IS Ass.
Handy's record was made in sixty
foot tank, which competent Judges main
tain is at least ten seconds faster for
800 yards than the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT tank
In which Daniels swan last night.
Incidental to the breaking Of the long
mark for which he set out, Daniels made
the following new American records:
Two hundred and fifty yards. from 3rn.
8 2-5s. to Sm. 2-5s.
Three hundred yards, from 3m. 49 2.5s.
to 3m- IS 2-5s. I'd s3
Three hundred and nifty. yards, from
Am. II 2-5s. to an 293-5s.
Four hundred yards. from 5m.
16 Us. to bm. l3s
Four hundred and forty yards, from
5m. sos to 5m. AZ 2-5s.
Handy was the holder of the 440 and
500 yard marks. while Daniels himself
held the others.
The records last night We're made in
q heat against c. C. Mengel, of Yale,
who had n handicap Of tifty-fve
seconds. The Yale boy took advantage
of his allowance by getting seventy
five yards ahead OF the Mercury Foot"
athlete. Daniels lost no time In set
ting out after his pacemaker, and se-
cured the first hundred" In b92-5s,,
the fastest time for that number Of
yards yet made in distance race.
Cutting Down the Lead.
At this stage the champion had cut
down twenty-five yards of the lead. and
was cutting into Mengel's lead yard by
yard. At the 200-yard mark Daniels had
made up all but fifteen yards, and was
splashing through the water at q great
gate with his graceful trudgeon stroke.
At the 4O0-yard mark the two swimmers
We're on almost even terms, and Mengel,
who had been taking matters easy. livened
up the pace 80 that Daniels had all he
could do to get up on even terms as they
started for the last fifty yards Although
the Yale swimmer made gallant squirt,
he was not quite speedy enough to beat
Danlels's crawl and was beaten three
yards in the final dash.
Although Daniels smashed records, he
did not win the race, which was awarded
to the swimmer making tho best elapsed
time. "Bud'' Goodwin, with q handicap OF
twenty-four seconds, swan only three
record for the whole distance, and was
the victor. Daniels was second ana Men
gel third.

Held Over the Long Island
Course Next Fall.

!. NEW YORK, February 5.-Mr. Jeffer-
son De Mont Thompson, who has been
chairman oftyhe racing board
of the American Automobile Associat ton
by President William II. Hotchkiss, an
nounces the following gentlemen to serve
on the racing board for the current year.
William X. Vanderbilt, Jr., New York;
E. Russell Thomas, New York; Dave

iigton Brooklyn; Frank G. Webb, Brook

Ford. Detroit. Mich: ]. ]. Mann, Paris,
France. Frederick II. Elliott secretary
Of the a. A. A.. will act in a like ca
pacity for the racing board.
There is scarcely any doubt that the
Vanderbilt Cup race will again be run
in this country this year. Tho Automo-
bile Club OF Italy, which has first claim
on the cup contest by reason Of the
French clubs refusal to officially partic-
ipate in the race. Is in favor Of having
the race run here. and this desire is
also shared by the Italian manufacturers
who have entered cars In the past races.
There Is no doubt that the German club
also wishes to have the race decided on
American soil. While In Europe Mr.,
Vanderbilt Will make careful study of
tho regulations governing the 1907 Grand
Prix Of the Automobile Club OF France,
and also the rules for the Targa Florio
in Italy and the race for the German
Emperor's cup. He will present tho re-

English handlcappers have paid to
American steeplechase horses great
compliment, for they require John NJ. p.
to carry 40 pounds In the Liverpool
Grand National, which Is at four ana
half miles. or about twice as far as he
seemed able to so when In America. He
Is second weight In the handicap, which
is on high scale, top weight. 175 pounds,
being allotted to last years winner. AS
cetic's Silver. who. however. had up only
1i9 pounds when he won it then. In last
years race John NJ p. tho favorite, with
1Gi pounds up, felt h II the English han
dicapper is right, Hylas or Collgny, talk
ing the Champion Steeplcchase at Bel

John M. p In that race at Belmont
