FEAT IN ATHLETICS.
FOUR WORLD’S RECORDS BROKEN. TIE WITH A FIFTH. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 24, 11.30 p.m. New York, April 23. At Redlands, California, Charles Paddock, in a Southern California Amateur Athletic Union meet, broke four world’s records and tied with a fifth. He tied with the record for a hundred yards jn 9 3-5 secs. He ran a hundred metres in 10 3-5 secs., lowering the record by one-fifth second; the two hundred metres in 21 1-5 secs., lowering the record by one-fift*h; the three hundred yards in 30 1-5 secs.; and the three hundred metres in 33 1-5 secs. The latter beat 8.,J. Wefer’s record, which has been standing for twenty years, by nearly three seconds. Mr. Robert Weaver, president of the Athletic Union, had charge of the meet and acted as starter; hence the records are likely to be accepted as official.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
