On his first run, mods southward over the Beach. Blr Malcolm at- tained the speed of 287.458 miles on hour. Upon reaching the south end of the course, he immediately turn- ed his bullet-nosed machine around and shot back northward over the beach at a speed of 241.773.

He covered the mile on his first run in 18.40 seconds and flashed across that distance on his second trial in 14.88 seconds for on aver- sgc time of 14.17 seconds for both runs.

In establishing a new record over the mile, Sir Malcolm clipped .47 of o second oi! his old record.

Sir Malcolm said he woo not sat- isfied with his new recoro and that

probably will make an attempt to- morrow to boost it oven higher. Ho hopes to be abls to make s. record of 260 or 266 miles an hour.
