Hammer-Throwing Records Broken.

NEW BRIGHTON. N. Y., Nov. 17, 1888. C. J. Queckberner of the Staten Island Athletic Club broke nearly all records of hammer throwing at the club grounds at West Brighton on Saturday. He had six trial throws in each event. The first was a 12 pound hammer, handle 3 ft. 6in. The best throw was in the six trial, when he sent the hammer 116 ft. 4 in., beating all amateur and professional records. The next trial was with a 16 pound hammer, handle 3 ft. 6 in. He failed to break the record, 99 ft. 7 in., in the first five trials, but in the sixth he made the maguificent throw of 100 ft. 5 in. The record for throwing the 21-pound hammer with a handle four feet long was made by Queckberner about a week ago with a throw of 79 ft. 7 1-2 in. On Saturday he threw 82 ft. 3 in. He also established a record of 99 ft. 3 in. throwing the 21-pound hammer with a turn. All the throws were made from the regulation seven-foot circle.
