Electric Pacing Is Fast.

It seems as if the electric pacemaker
is to upset all records made by ordinary
pacing, as comparatively unknown
man, Lombard of Amiens, paced by the
Yallu electric triplet, rode a kilometer
in 591a seconds. This is the first time
that kilometer under the minute has
been officially timed in France. Going
on for the mile, however, the pace
proved too fast for Lombard, who lost
touch; otherwise he could have put up
fresh figures for the mile.-Cycling
