RECORDS WILL NOT STAND.
Motor Pacing VIII Assist in Reduc.
ing the Present Figures.

Ing tne Present Figures.
With the perfection of the motor pac-
ing on beth the American and European
continents, record breaking will once more
assume international Importance. The rid
ers of both continents will be placed upon
en- equality. For some time now the
American riders have had all the advan-
tages owing to the improvements made
in this country in pacing machines. The
American multi-cycle has been lighter and
much easier TO propel than any ever seen
in Europe. Motor pace lets down bars to
all. In fact, IL is doubtful whether Eu-
rope has not the best of the argument thus
far, an advantage which Americans will not
allow to long continue.
In record breaking there are three rec
ords sought more than any others, and
these are the mile, the hour, and the twen-
ty-four hour. Predictions made by the rid
ers are liable. in view OF the late develop
ments, TO all go astray. Major Taylor, for
instance, has said that he believed the mile
| in l:20 possible. Elkes predicted thirty
eight miles in the hour. and Frank Waller
believes that 700 miles will be done in
twenty-four hours The figures would
have been considered the widest flight OF
fancy but a very short time ago. and are
now considered by some as far too high.
1t is probable. however. that they will
not be reached, although it is as proba-
BILE they will be approached very closely
and perhaps touched in one instance, that
OF the mile.
With motor pace ready at any time for
the asking. with the riders OF prominence
supplied with their own machines and with
the consequent lessening by thousands OF
dollars of the expense incurred formerly in
going for these records. the rider has an
inestimable advantage. for he may be pre-
pared at any time to take advantage OF
perfect weather conditions and delay will
not mean to him an expense in maintaining
pacing outfit of twenty men or more
idle days with which means an expenditure
OF 800 or more.
Hitherto the record camp has been a
more CT less important yearly feature, and
the expense incurred in going for the rec
ords have been so enormous as to scare
the makers out of the hunt. Once upon
time the mile record cost at a conserva-
/ tive estimate SS,e00 to procure, aud large
teams were sent scouting over the United
States in search Of track and weather con-
ditions suitable.
The record breaker. two motor tandems
with two men each and trainer and man
| ager in one-six men in all--is the neces-
| sary outfit now whore thirty men composed
| the old-time record team.
With like conditions prevailing upon
both continents, 1t is probable that Euro
pean riders will make every endeavoi
again, as they have done without success
now for n number OF years, TO hold the
| important figures. London has a motor
| pacing outfit organized with the ayowed
| intention OF cleaning up the record slate
America is not far behind, and American
riders will make every endeavor to gain
