TIE CYCLING ourLonk.

Bicycle and motorcycle racing should
enjoy a most prosperous inning In 1901
and the early preparations make It APP
pear that the sport will experience
what possibly may be the height Of its
popularity, The building OF more COLI
seums for night racing is assured. and
this feature is assuming tremendous
preparations. The time Is not far dis
tant when nearly every city Of impor-
lance will possess six lap belt OF
boards which, when properly banked,
admits OF a most exciting kind OF com
petition, In the large cities middle dis
lance racing will be conducted on a
grander scale than ever before, and
with fields Of anywhere from TO ~
starters and a track covered with the
Internal machines, a spectacle will be
supplied Of the most exciting character.
In bicycle racing, as In everything else,
the American people desire speed, and
a single rider following motor tandem
has Travelled over 40 miles IN the hour,
making an average under 1880 FOR each
mile. II is assured that n considerable
number OF European champions will
spend next season in this country, and
their presence will add very substan-
TALLY TO the interest and success OF cy-
Gle competition. All around, the season
OF 1901 could not present more inyit-
ing prospect.

Athletic sports in every field have en-
joyed boom during the past year. The
contests held at Paris last summer In
connection with the exposition, at
which our athletes practically defeated
the world, did much for track and field
games in this country, During 1901 the
