Show Toe Fastest Recorded Bunnino Time. When tho colt Longfellow was recently sold to John Harper for about livo d ullars an ounce, people generally thought that the price was a rather high one; but when the animal the other day at Sarttoga made his mile in 1:40, the opinion was just as general that Mr. John Harper was a very fortunate man. Poor Herzog's time on tho Buckeye Course two years ago a mile in 1.434 vraa looked upon as a most wonderful achievement, and when at Leiington last spring Buford's cotarSaUna knocked off the half second and came round in just 1:43, the "fastest "fast-est running time on record' was be-believed be-believed to be established for many yrars to come. Now, however , Kingfisher makes his mile in 1:41 and loses the heat by a second to hia wonder of poetio name and practical .'tehievements. |
