Tom,

Mile a minute Murphy raced with Major Taylor back in
something like 1901 in a vaudevill act. He got the nickname from riding behind a train in Long Island NY did the mile in 57 4/5 seconds, amazing when you think that
he did this in 1899.
Can't find any pictures tho. Did you try writing to Velonews?
Marty
