The peculiar elliptical (EOp) galaxy NGC 4486 and two KOII comparison stars HR5450, HR6935 were observed spectroscopically using the 74-inch telescope and Image Tube at Mt. Stomlo Observatory. From the Gaussian Broadening Function, broadened spectrum of two comparison stars were computed for the range between wavelength 4800$AA$ and 5400$AA$. Velocity dispersions in the line of sight of M87 were obtained by visual fitting. The fitted velocity dispersion is 450 km/sec at the nucleus, 350km/sec at r=12", and 300km/sec at r=24". Using the photometric data and the central value of velocity dispersion, we determined the mass of M87. From <$r^{2/4}$ law and the Virial theorem the calculated total mass in $2.1 imes10^{12}M_odot$ and from the King Model $M=1.2 imes10^{12}M_odot$. And M/L ratio of M87 is about 30.
