AMERICAN RUNNING RECORDS TO DATE In the course of tlie last en years the speed of race tracks lias lx en developed to such an extraordinary degree that the fast horses of tlie period have set marks difficult to eclipse Still some record breaking fakes place each year and 100S is no exception So far this year five new American records have been made mostly over the short distances Of the five one Carmisa three and a half furlongs in 40J was made at Oakland two Precentors four and a half furlongs straight in 51 and Restigouches seven and a half furlongs in 131 J at Belmont Park one Fern Ls five and a half furlongs in 105 at Seattle and one Ballots one and fivesixteenths miles in 209JS at Sheepsliead Bay At Seattle Toupee tied the three niartcrs record of 1113 held jointly by Uoseben and Colonel Bob BobIt It is hardly probable that these are all of the new records to be made this year Fast horses abound and with Slieepshead Bay Brighton Beach Belmont Park and the incomparably speedy Santa Anita Park track to IK raced over something really sensational may yet be recorded In the meantime the records to data are the following followingDistance Distance Horse age weight track and
