By Telegraph— Copyright).
Rec. Sept. 4, 5.5 p.m. Toronto, Sept. 3. Breaking the world's record, Stella Walsh won the 100 metres dash at the Canadian Nhtional Exhibition track meeting here to-day in 11.4-5 seconds. Hilda Strike, Montreal, was second and Nellie Halstead, England, was third. The record is not likely to he recognised as there was a strong following wind. Ralph Metcalf won the 200 yards dash in 19 8-9seconds, making a new world's record, but the extreme wind will probably prevent it being recognised.
