This would cut down the speeds of the Schneider racers, now approaching the rate of 400 miles per hour, but would prove of great benefit to aviation, it was pointed out British Victory Seen.

CALSHOT, England, September 11.— Man may fly at a speed of 420 miles an hour—faster than he has ever traveled before—in the Schneider Cup races to be held over the Solent tomorrow. It is expected that both of the two new British mystery machines built for | this year’s ruce ‘will be capable of about | that” speed. One is known to have | achieved 405 miles per hour in a prac- | tice flight recently, well throttled down. Whatever speed is attained, it will be the last Schneider Cup race, and the trophy, the world’s premier speed prize, | will pass permanently into hands of the | British without competition under the rules which give it to the nation win- :)lnlg three out of five successive con- ests, Entries Withdraw, International competition, with French and Italian planes fighting for the cup. was expected up until a few | days ago. Both natlons withdrew after | it was discovered that rules of the con- test would not allow a requested six months’ postponement. ‘ The Schneider Cup’s place probably | will be taken by the “Houston Trophy.” set up’ by the wealthy Lady Houston after announcement of the Frerch and Italian withdrawals, with an additional prize of £1.000 (about $5.000) to the in- 'EMBER 11, 1931. plane speed competition. l It was Lady Houston's guarantee of about $500, expenses for the British | team this year which caused the British government to reconsider its decision ! not to compete against challengers and | to let this year's contest go by default. Race Against Time. ‘Tomorrow’s race will be against time, not with planes directly racing against each other. The present plans are for one or more of the high speed planes to fly over the course and then to! have one of them try to break the speed | record over a 3 kilometer course. | ‘They will fly seven times around the triangular course of about 31 miles for | & total distance of approXimately 217, miles, and will be carefully clocked. | Qualifying trials to prove seaworthiness of the small wasp-like craft will precede | the actual speed trials. An effort will be made after the trials to break the world's speed rec: ord of 357 uniles per hour over a 3 kilon~ . course, set in one of the 1929 machines by Squadron Leader Orlebar.
