lets being brought out there. One of
the brothers is an expert electrician.
and by repeated trials under his manip-
ulation the machines were finally inn
proved to such an extent that they be-
came available for setting pace for
single rider following. The electric
current can be regulated to a nicely,
so that the machine will set pace for
mile after mile that scarcely varies
second to the lap. The machine is tire
less, SO that in long trials against time
the rider following is not slowed by re-
peated changes of pacemaking teams.
So expert have the Jallu brothers be-
come in the handling of their electric
tandem that they have attained to the
hair raising speed of almost 40 miles in
the hour, hence the name of .'inferpal
machine" given it by the Frenchmen.
OF course everybody on this side is
curious to see the outfit in action.
Not only in the personnel Of the rae
ing men, but in the promotion, manage
ment and style of racing, the past win
ter has seen greater changes in the
cycle racing game than any previous
inte1mission between seasons. In the
first place bicycle manufacturers have
almost abandoned the support of
racing teams for advertising purposes,
and the owners of race tracks and pro-
fessional amusement promoters have
formed associations to employ racing
talent, so that there are now three very
strong organizations, with four prom
inent racing men already signed by
each, as follows:

Especial Chicago letter.

Reports of the big bicycle race meets
his season will have an unfamiliar
sound to American ears. The sum-
maries will read like extracts
from the immigrants register at
Ellis island or from the city
directory of Cosmopolis. It will be diff
6cult, without taking especial note of
the date line, to decide whether the
events occurred in America, England or
one of the continental countries of Eu-
rope. Fancy reading the report of a
big meet in which the following strange
sounding names are generously inter
mingled with those of well-known
American racing men: Linton, Chase,
Chinn, BILLY" Michael, O'Connor,
Kaser, Lehr, Wheeler, Fulford, Gou-
goltz, Lamberjack, Taylore, Jallu
brothers, Cissac, Lartigue, Petite, Jap
Eden, Pontecchi, Tomaselli, Passeni
and Singrossi. This is the most formid-
able array of foreign racing talent that
has ever invaded any country in the his
tory of the sport They are of English,
Welsh, Irish, French, German, Dutch,
Swiss and Italian nativity, and are
recognized champions in their own
countries. They include famous
sprinters and middle distance and long
distance racers. Linton, Chase and
Chinn are Englishmen who have an am
bition to wrest the laurels from that
little adopted pet of the American path
Jimmy Michael, middle-distance cham
pion of the world. Jap Eden, the
champion sprinter of Holland, is as
much fired with desire to defeat tIse
American champion, Edward C. Bald
as his Dutch nature will allow. The

The International Cycle Track Asso-
ciation-Henri Cissac, j. S. johnson,
Karl Kaser and Arthur Gardiner.
The A. C. Il. A. and l. c. 7. A. have
offices in New York city, while the
headquarters of the n. c. Z. A. are To-
Gated in Boston, where it controls the
Charles River Park track. The latter
organization also controls a number of
other prominent tracks in different
cities. The American association is in
possession of Manhattan Beach track in
New York, the Willow Grove track in
Philadelphia, and the new track build
ing at Rochester. The International
association team will make the Chester
Park track in Cincinnati its headquar-
tiers, and this association also controls
Woodside Park track at Philadelphia.
All three organizations are very strong
and by their efforts and rivalry promise
to make this great year for sport. The
national circuit, which has already
been laid out, will get most of it's sup
FORT from the National Cycle Track
association. The American Cycle Rae
ing association will conduct a circuit of
off the national circuit, and the Inter
national Cycle Track association wiz
give an international flavor to the sport
by reason of its cosmopolitan team of
cracka jacks.
The growth in favor of middle dis
lance match races cannot escape at
tention. They promise to be the i'm
portant feature of cycle racing this
year, and, with Michael, Chase, Linton,
McDuffie, Titus, Cissac, Lartigue and
others competing would be sufficiently
interesting for the most passe habitue
OF the race track. The prizes for such
events are invariably large, since teams
of 20 to 40 pacemakers, equipped with
a dozen or more triplets, quads, quints
and sextuplets, must be constantly
maintained at immense expense to pace
the stars to victory. To pay the salaries
and living expenses and transport these
great aggregations of 1iers about the
country is heavy drain on the purses
of the associations or manufacturers
retaining them and they must be re-
imbursed by large gate receipts, which
