Storms Recently Broke All Records by Covering Over Eight Miles In an Hour. England’s athletic prowess has received I a severe setback at the hands of Americans this year, but she is yet able to console herself with the thought that she at least possesses the greatest walker on earth in the person of W. J. Sturgess. Satisfied that he could cover eight miles within the‘ hour, the London A. C. afford- ed him the opportunity at its autumn meeting, held recently at Stamford Bridge. A handicap was framed, and as a resultI Sturgess not only completed the eight I miles, but placed another 270 yards to his I 1 I l l I I w. J. sruacass. I credit before the stipulated time had run I out. This knocks to flinders the previous best amateur record of 7 miles, 1,487 yards I and 2 feet, made by H. Curtis, as well as Griffin’s professional hour record of 8 miles 172 yards. Eleven men opposed Sturgess, and they were conceded plenty of start, but at such I a clip did the champion travel that he was I making his own pace at the four mile mark. Thence to the end all records were demolished. The following table shows what he did: Distance. Min. Sec. Distance. Min.

Curtis, who had held the championship since 1890, completely ofl his legs for this year’s title. In addition to the above records, Sturgess had just previously established new times for one, two and three miles. His action was from start to finish perfection personified, from a strictly fair walking point of view. American Cricketers In England.

These elevens proved well able totake care of themselves against local teams made up of gentlemen cricketers from areas and populations approximating those of Philadelphia. Naturally, says the New York Sun, they could not beat or- ganizations like the Marylebone club, drawing its forces from the best cricketers of all parts .of England, and the strongest counties were also too much for them. But both tours were most successful, and as the 1896 team will be made up mostly Oxford and Cambridge combined in two out of three matches, no doubt it also will make a creditable record.

Normandy is a district embracing five Seine Inferieure, together form a territory reasonably com- and .measuring about 75 miles each Eachof these departments is de- more especially to the coach horse, the saddler and the thoroughbred, Manohe to the cavalry horse and Seine Inferieure and Euro to draft horses, commonly known as Normans, Percherons or N or- man Percherons. . A registry has been kept by the gov- ernment for nearly 100 years for the im- provement of the coach horse and other breeds. The government agents purchase annually, usually in October, some of the best 3-year-old stallions to be found in the country, which are afterward kept for service at a very low fee, being sent out to numerous stations accessible to the farmers, who are thus enabled to secure the use of the best at merely nominal expense. Naturally the prices paid by the gov- ernment are liberal, last year 100,000 francs, equivalent to about $20,000, having been thus invested in the pur- ' chase of one lot consisting of four choice coach horses. The public omcials are very careful in making their selections. not only having regard to pedigree, size. conformation, action and color, undre- quiring a most thorough veterinary ex- amination, but also subjecting the colts to a severe speed test. They are required to trot over a course of 4' kilometers, a distance of abOut 2% English miles. While speed alone does not determine the choice, it is becoming more and more an important element in value. In these tests the youngsters are trotted un- der saddle, very rarely in harness. The breeders. and presumably the public of- ficials, have an impression that they trot best under saddle, a method which is That is probably an illusion which would be dispelled by training according to the American method. That they would move well in harness is apparent from their action, when shown on the line, which is free, bold and true, with a long and springy stride. I had the opportunity of observing and timing one while being driven in a cart from Caen to the village of Cagn’ey on a tour of inspection. Mr. A. Leven- I en, with whom I made the trip, drove a beautiful 4-year-old chestnut mare that had‘ never been driven single un- til after being taken out of the plow a month before I saw her. The road was somewhat hilly, but otherwise as good as the art of man has yet devised. The distance was said to be six English miles, and there was no reason to ques- tion the accuracy of the statement. She covered the distance going out in ‘37 minutes and made the return trip in 26, easily and without distress. She was as handsome as a typical Morgan and as stylish as a hackney, but larger than either, although smaller than the aver- age French coacher. The French stallions when not at the stations are kept at the government studs. These establishments are called haras. the name being derived from the Arabic “fares,” meaning a horse. There are several government hares in France, that at St. L0, or Loo, near the department of Calvados, being the most important. Said an English writer re- cently, speaking of this establishment (which I did not visit, being more in- terested in the stock to be found on the forms from which the horas are sup- plied): “The stables. exercising ground and residence of the director form a vast square, its proportions dwarflng that of the town to comparative insig- nificance. Everything is on a handsome scale. The director receives from the state the pay of a colonel; The entire initial cost, amounting to several mil- lions of francs (and, it might have been added, the cost of maintenance) has been borne by the state, horse rearers enjoying the advantage. â€"Henry J. Booth in National Stockman. W Results of Experiments.
