1000 MILES IN 1000 MINUTES.
An effort is to .be made by an American motor cyclist to cover 1000 miles in 1000 consecutive minutes.. The attempt is to be made on the New York speedway at Sheepshead, which is claimed to be the fastest motor racing track in the world. The record looks feasible, for E. Baker, in his recent 24 hours' road ride in Australia, covered 1027 miles in 1292 minutes, a-nd when one considers the many advantages of riding on fast tracks as against around a road circuit, it certainly should make the feat possible.
