Britons Seek New Records On Land And Water

BONNEVILLE SALT HATS. Utah, Aug. 18 —(AP)—Geriial John Cobb of London appeared confident of cracking the existing speed record for automobiles after roaring across the salt beds at 352.94 miles an hour today in a test run that a year ago would have been acclaimed miraculous-

Weather conditions were perfect and the 13-mile salt track in fine shape as Cobb pushed his 3 1-2 ton "Railton Rod Lion" almost up to the world's mark of 851.5, held by a fellow countryman, Capt. George E. T. Eyston.

COINIISION, England. Aug. 10- (CP)—8ir Malcolm Cammell and his latest Bluebird skimmed over Lake Conlston today at. a mora- breaking pace of 134 miles an hour in "Just a warm-up" for an al- fort to raise the water speed mark to around 150 mfles an hour.

with a seven-year-old “test engine," Campbell guided the Bluebird 11 over the measured mile in 28.7 seconds, faster than imn ever travelled before on water and 3.01 miles an hour fast- or than Campbell‘: listed world’: record of 130 93 miles an hour.

only the worst kind oi luck pie- vontsd the 51-year-old speed specialist from smashing thorac- ord today. Circling to return over thg measured mile-—a trip each way being necessary to eaisblifli I. fooord——he noticed his onllho was our the explosion point. This was

With fast racing and exciting finishes again pre-

tion was run off yesterday afternoon before another large crowd and again another favorite was beaten when John

Dean captured every heat of

the Dude Potempkin being able to do not better than third

place. But that wasn't the only

the meet closed out in a blaze of glory—probabiy the fin-

est meet ever staged here in

Fair—Quaker Girl, a grand old campaigner who seems to have a habit of creating an upset here, came through with

another one yesterday when,

Trot and Face, in ii. sensational blanket finish with three other horses, Quaker Girl came like a thunderbolt in the stretch to nose out the highly-favored Walter Brown. So close was the finish that hardly one in the stands could name the winner and Driver Rudderluim and his fast mare got a great hand as the starter announced the winner of

the heat. SENSATIONAL FINISH

It was easily the most sensation- al finish of the entire racing meet although in the Two.Year- Old Futiiriity George Mac and Mar- garet Jean waged a sensational neck and neck stretch duel with M.a.r-gate-t Jean nosing under the wire first but being placed second for a. break and interference.

And the “-balbies" put up a good perforimnce. There was very lit- tle troubie with their scoring and they acted like veterans through- out their race with Margaret Jean being placed second in the firs: shovinns her worth by walking off with the next two heats and the race.

Walter Brown also had to stage a comeback aifiter losing the first heat of his race to Quaker Girl but the Moncion-owned horse came into his own on the next two; with terrific stretch drives in the second and third heats after being in trailing positions the chestnut gelding uncorked stretch drives that in both cases left. him with a length to spare over the :$100l1d-D1806 horse going under the

STRAIGHT HEAT VICTORY

H. M. Sweeney's John Dean from Bridgovvater. Nova Scotia. made his summary road 1 1 1 as he raced off with the feature event on the card in ti1'\e‘Free For All Trot. Trail- ing Millie Kalmuck up to the last 100 yards the Dean horse had ‘no mucii brush for Willard Kelly's game trotter who was making her second start in three days. and won with a length to spare in the first heat. In the other heats it. was all John Dear. all the way with Millie Kalznuck furnishing all the opposition.

Two dash races were added fea- tures to the card with Marvin Brooke and Alestru. the winners in fields of four. Alestra's win was particularly pleasing to the crowd. Drive: 5. A. Rockford received rounds and rounds of applause as he came before the stand after his victory and several of the horse- men picked him bodily off the

sulky and bounced him much in the delight of evervbody pres- ent.

TWO YEAR OLD I-‘UTURITV.

First Heist: There were five start- ers came to the wire for the first neat and they got iiway on the fifth score wit.11 Margaret Jean in front. Margaret. Jean went to a break on the first turn and first place was taken over by Ueorge Mac. They continued in than 01'- der right. to the top of the stretch when Jean who had made up a. lot of lost ground came very fast on George Mac. The two raced the last 50 yards neck ani neck and it was very doubtful which horse had gotten under me wire first. Margaret. Jean had finish-ad first the tudges announced after conferring but was set backto second for inlterrference and George Mac was placed first. Ada Worthy was third a length behind the first‘ two horses with Nora Worthy fourth and DIILB Abbe fifth.

Second Heat: Duke Abbe was drawn for the second heat which narrowed the field down to four mite as they went away beautiful-

ly on the very first score. George.

Mac again ‘took the lead followed by Margaret Jean. Ada Worthy. Nora Wonthy. They continued in that order right to the first turn on ‘ah: second half of the mile where Margaret Jean took the rail from George Mac and was never
