Meanwhile Segrave already learned of the speed at the beach here and, coming from England the follow month, startled the racing \wxld | with a speed of 203 mp.h. Realizing even greater speeds could be attained here, Campbell vebuilt his old machine and came over in 1928 to again dethrone the doughty Segrave by dashing over the mile at a clip of 206. | With the record pushed well be- yond the 200 mile an hour mark, the Scgrave-Campbell racing ri 1y became intense. Losing no time, Segrave built a new machine and returning to the beach in 1929, again ' regained the straightaway championship by skimming ovn the sands at a 231 clip.

Official honors he |elways distained, and to escape them he celebrated his 80th birth- day in the seclusion of his Bavar- ian estate of Tobern Lake. Con- gratulations came to him from ,the whole financial world of Ger- many, but there were many, too, from persons whom he had assist- ed in times of stringency. His benefactions were numerous, but invariably conducted in the strict- st privacy. Gets Off Good One His wife, who ‘died in 1915, was fond of giving literary teas. At one of them, a rather boring Ger- man author was reading his poems wien a belated guest with creak- ing shoes came in. “Hush,” said Fuestenberg, who was sitting near the door, “the audience is asleep.” Fuerstenberg was known as the Bernard Shaw of the Berliner Poerse. Anecdotes of his biting wit are legion, many of them have become classics. Once he joined a party where the talk was of burglars and rohbers. o ¢ nmr a good mry about Tob- DIES IN BERLIN - THEY'RE Now's Svndicare, Inc .
