Carrier Pigeon Flies 2so Yards
In Fraction Over Seven Seconds

The carrier pigeon. whose record has been
used for the purpose OF comparison with
The performance of man the go yard
course, was the property of A. F.. Harman.
The race took place a Washington d. G..
where this sport is very frequently INDUCED
in. The record of this particular fight is
preserved in the records of the Museum of
Natural History. and was taken from the
Washington star Of September II. 1901 Ac-
cordng to the best authorities available the
record made by Mr.. Harmans pigeon has
never been equalled, although il was estah-
lished almost two decades ago.
On this occasion the race was between
about twenty birds. The pigeon Of AR Har-
came in first and his best time was
1882 yards for the first minute of flight,
which means 463-s9l seconds for 22O
yards.
So OF the four official records it will be
noted that while Paddock has made his 220
yards in 20 4-5 seconds, the horse is almost
twice fast while the antelope and the
carrier pigeon almost three times as
fast.
These are among the recorded speeds, but
il is well known to those who have observed
animals in the open that many others of
the various species move faster. Some per-
formances are amazing and would not be
credible were ii not for the fact that they
have been observed and noted by men who
are engaged in the business OF studying
them.
All of them go much faster than man. but
there popular misconceptions about
which of the animals make the best speed
because the imagination easily runs riot at
the ZOO while one is looking at the inhabi-
tants of the cages.

Comparing Actual Speed Records
of Man. Horse, Antelope and Pigeon

Whatever the reason whether II is man or
nature that has caused man 10 be lag
gard on the race course, the fact remains
that he is hopelessly outdistanced in all
races and at all distances
For the purpose of comparison four Off
cial records have been taken. The records
were made by a man, horse, an antelope
and a carrier pigeon. The little dash of
the man was for go yards only. The horse
ran a mile and established new American
turf record. The antelope ran many miles
but his time for one mile was taken. The
carrier pigeon few hundreds of miles. but
his distance for one minute was noted. All
these records have been made to apply to
22O yards in order that they may be COM
pared with the performance OF man on the
track.
The man who established new worlds
record for the 220 yard dash is Charles w.
Paddock n student of the University Of
Southern California whose remarkable
speed has been attracting the attention of
athletic authorities in all sections of the
world. He first equalled the record for the
800 yard dash and later TO the astonshment
of the world clipped a fifth of a second
from his own time. on March 26 at Berkeley,
cal. i'm meet between the University Of
California and the University of Southern
California. young Paddock gave new thrill
to the athletic world by lowering his own
record for the second time in one season,
and on this occasion he covered the distance
in 90 4-5 seconds.
Paddock is coming East soon for the pur-
pose of engaging in athletic events in this
lection and the announcement that he is
soon to be here has been received wi n
interest by those who are concerned Wit
