The American record for a mile straight is 1:35* and was made by Sal- vator at Monmouth Park in 1S90. Over an ordinary elliptical track the record is 1:37? and is held jointly by Dick Welles and Kiamesha. the former running in that time at Harlem in 1903 and the latter at Belmont Park in 1905. There is no such thing as a "worlds" record. In England several horses have covered a mile straight in faster time than Salvators.
