II? is a question in which wheelmen
are much interested. In discussing this
matter recently, a member OF the Rae
ing Board gave It as his opinion that
q mile In Lac would eventually be ac-

thought 1t would not be a great while
before the performance was done, either,
but better h a that he thought 1t was
not within the power of a blcyclist to
accomplish. 1t was suggested that the
conditions would have to be unusually
favorable for such a performance. This
brought out the Remark that the bicy-
Gle tracks now in use would not have

creasing ability Of bicycle riders n the
improvements that would naturally come

be all that was necessary.
