The Pedestrian's Record
216 THE PEDESTRIAN'S RECORD. ADDENDUM. O n page 11 reference is made to the natural running powers of P\ J. K. Cross and E. H. Felling, of whom at no distant date we anticipated great things. When writing we forgot to mention Felling's grand performance over 250 yards, which he accomplished in 24^ seconds onSeptember 22,1888, thus beating the world's record ; and Cross also covered the half mile in 1 minute 54fseconds on March 9, 1888, andin so doing beat theAmerican flyer's(Myers) bestperformance at this distance. Since writing the foregoing the crack, H. C. L. Tindall, has beaten Myers' time over the quarter-mile course, which he ran in 48^ seconds on June 29, 1889, thus stamping himself one of the finest long sprint runners England has ever possessed. At the last moment we have with some difficulty obtained the Northern Counties Athletic Championships, without which our records would have been incomplete. We append also Canadian Championships and three Handicap Challenge Cups of theLondon AthleticClub.
