(special to u» Guardian) LONDON, March 15.—Thg Prince of Wales at a dinner tonight of the Institute of transport. of which the Prince is honorary president, said: "I would like to describe Major Segrave as a. hero. I think without exagger- ation that we can put his effort to regain the world's speed record as om of the bravest. one of the most sporting efforts aver roads. “It wasn‘t as though he did not know what the game was. He did, and he left this country with a. car, which had never been tried out. It was an entirely new experiment from the moment he started, and I am sure that allloi us take our hats of! to Major Scgravc as a very brave man and a very fine sportsman. ' "I can only sympathize with him that the only thing that marred this wonderful success. this great triumph, wasthat his opponent from. our friends over the other side, his Am- erican opponent, was killed."
