SPEED OF THE WINNING TWO-YEAR-OLDS. Three Track Records Are Broken and Two Equalled in January Some Shifty Youngsters. Three track records were broken and two others were equalled by the two-year-olds racing during the mouth of January. The new marks are Sweet Kiltys :11J for three and one-half furlongs at Ascot Park; Bertinonts :42J. for the same distance at Crescent Iark, and Boserrians :33J for three furlongs at City Iark. When Bemay and Frank Lord ran their dead heat In :4S at Crescent Iark on Tuesday last they equalled a record of long standing for the half mile at that track. In fact it is the third time in fourteen years that so fast a rait; has been run over the old course at New Orleans. The record was established in 1892 by Surget, an aged bay gelding by Iawnee, out of Ouachita. It was not equalled until Lady Greenwood reached the notch in 1901. The other record tied was that for the three and one-half furlongs at Oakland, it is now held jointly by Sir Wilfred and Kappa at i-llj. Incidentally this is but three-quarters of a second slower than the American record which is held by Judge Thomas, which as a seven-year-old, carrying 131 pounds, ran three and one-half furlongs at Butte, Montana, in :40J on July 14. 1!02.
