Take the world’s records for the same distances, viz.—seven mins, eleven and two-fifths secs, or one minute fifty-seven secs, better than Martin’s figures; fourteen mins, twentytwo and two-fifths secs, or three mins, thirty-seven and one-fifth secs, less than the Australasian recortl; and forty miles three hundred and twenty-seven yards an hour, being eight miles, six hundred and sixty yards further than Martin rode in sixty minutes recently.
