The boat in which Don will make his bid is the same in which Sir |Henry Segrave was killed June 13, ‘when during a speed test it struck a floating tree limb.

Miss England II is powered by two Rolls Royce engines of 2,000 horsepower each which turn a sin- gle screw of 15 inches in diameter at from between 10,000 and 12,000 revolutions a minute. Wood’s Miss America IX, on the other hand, is driven by two pro- pellers with larger blades and driv- en at a lower rate of speed. The result of the races probably will center on Miss England’s attempts to pick up distance on the straight- away lost to Wood's twin-screwed boat on the turns. Regardless of the outcome there will be no opportunity for America to pick up any of the high speed records, all of which now are in ! possession of England.
