belonging TO the Trinity 4. &. Of Brooklyn.
won the Marathon race yesterday from
Rye, Westchester county. to Fifty ninth
street in this city. the full distance o.
20 miles SSS yards, and not only did he
outrun his field but he made new record
for the distance and for the course The
time was hours 20 minutes % Is seconds,
and this is faster than the time made In the
London event last July by nearly twenty
minutes and faster by more than nine
minutes than the recent professional
Marathon runs In Madison Square Garden
Better figures are on record over the Boston
Marathon course. but then It is to be re-
membered that il only measures about
twenty-five miles.

at this style Of racing, his first attempt
being In the Yonkers race on Thanksgiving
Day. On that occasion he entered the race
track in sixth place and after falling down
with exhaustion Ave times he was carried
on the track and never completed the
course. The Trinity boy is not yet citizen
OF the nited States, as he came here from
the Emerald Isle only about three years
ago
