MOTOR-CYCLING RECORDS AT BROOKLANDS

Average of 113 Miles per Hour London, Nov. 6.

At the Brooklands track to-day, Mr. C. Temple, riding a British moier-cycle, with an Anzani engine, covered one kilometre with a flying start in 19.7 sec, an average speed Of 113.49 miles an hour; and one mile, with a flying start, in 31.99 sec. an average of 112.53 miles an hour. The regulations of the International Federation of Motor-cycle Clubs, however, make it obligatory that attempts at world's records should be run both ways on the track and the mean speed taken as a record. In this case, Mr. Temple accomplished the kilometre in 20.62 sec., or 108.48 miles an hour, and the mile in 34.20 sce., or 105.96 miles an hour. Both are easily world's records and the higher speeds will rank as British records.—Reuter.
