R OWELL (51—58, 65 and 76—84 miles) and G. H AZAEL (59—64, and 66—75 miles) in slower times than world's record figures—the 75 miles being done in gh. 53m. 15s. by G. H AZAEL at New York, 9 May 1881. From 85—623 miles (the end) American Records are all held by Englishmen and, with the excep­ tion of the 231 mile Record, constitute World's Records, which see. The American hour record is held by P. F ITZGERALD, British profes­ sional, with 11 miles 60 yards, run at New York 16 June 1879; the six hour record is 47 miles 1100 yards made by D. D ONOVAN at Pro­ vidence, R. I., 6 Aug. 1880; all subsequent hour records are held by Englishmen and constitute World's Records, which see. c As in the case of the mile record given above, this is notproperly an American record. Moreover, seeing that B YRNES ran 20 miles in less time than G UERRERO took to run 19 miles, and having regard to the other figures, it is pretty clear that he must have beaten American Record from 12—20 miles.
