(The Innsbruck racecourse), which will be opened in connection with the international exhibition in the course of the next few weeks, will have a circumference of 400 metres and a width of 6 metres; it consists of two ellipses connected by two straight sections. The track, which will be cemented, is calculated for a speed of 16 metres per second and will have an elevation of °2 metres in the sharpest curves. The velocipede racing track, for the construction of which the President of the Tyrolean Cyclists' Association, Mr R. v. Meinong, Chief State Railway Engineer, has earned the main merit, will be one of the most outstanding and best-equipped cycling tracks on the continent. On the 29th of this month, a major international cycling competition will be held for the first time at the Innsbruck racecourse, which will be followed by regular annual velocipede prize races in the future, which will certainly be of great benefit to the promotion of cycling and tourism in Innsbruck
