SEAGRAVE Ne Makes 206.95602 Miles an Hour Daytoaa Beach, Fla, Fcb. 19.-- Malcolm Campbell, British racetrack driver, today drove his Napier Blue- bird Special at an average speed of 206.9: miles per hour, to set a new world's automobile speed records. The former record was 203.79 miles per hour, made here last year by Major H. O. D. Seagrave, of England, in his Mystery Sunbeam Special. Campbell hurled his racer over the first mile in 16.76 seconds, driving south with the wind, This was at the rate of 214.79713 miles per hour, ex- actly 11 miles an hour faster than the former world's records set by Major Segrave. Harder Going Against Wind On the return run north, against the wind, Campbell covered the mile in 1803 seconds, at a speed of 199.- 66722 miles per hour, The average elapsed time was 17.- 395 seconds, at an average speed of 206.95602 miles per hour, By setting the new record, Camp- bell won the $5,000 cup offered by Sir Charles Wakefield of England for the first driver to break Major Se- grave's record. Literally burning up the sands with his giant machine, equipped with a owerful 12-cylinder motor of the ritish air service, Capt. Campbell exceeded by 3.16 miles an hour the former record of 203.79 set here last year by Major H. O, D. Segrave of England, in his mystery Sunbeam Special. Four-Mile Start Taking a four-milt running start, Capt, Campbell made his first run south with the wind, negotiating the official mile in 16.76 seconds for a speed of 21479713 miles an hour, which was 11 miles an hour faster than Major Segrave's record. On his return trip north, made against a strong wintry wind, the Englishman covercd the official mile in 1803 scc- an hour, His average elapsed ways, over the course wa onds and his average miles was 206.95602, Immediately after he the wire at the end of the official mile, Capt.

As far as the world's speed record is concerned, he has no intention of trying to beat any possible future re- cord--so long as it remains in British hands. In other words, Captain Mal- colm Campbell having beaten the pre- sent record, and also the Americans, Major Seagrave will not race again. Sir Charles Wakefield's trophy was open to drivers of all nations.

"The trophy will give a great fil- lip to the study of the engineering technicalities of the automobile, and should assist in bringing about ma- terial advances in the designs of cars and 'the perfection of engine equip- ment, and place the science of auto- mobile construction on a par with that of aviation, "The trophy has not yet been de- signed, but it will be a work of art, executed by one of the best crafts- men in the country. It will be a national work of art, and, as such, Sir Charles is determined that it shall be worthy of British craftsmanship."

Fearing that a serious accident had happened, Mrs. Campbell did not look up until friends told her that her husband had completed his run safely, On his second run north, Capt, Campbell drove his machine farther out on the beach, where the sands were hard packed, The wind slowed him up perceptibly, and he was able to average only 199.66 miles an hour over the official mile course. Af- ter he had completed his run, the Englishman drove his car back to the pit and was greeted with cheers from the grand stand. Frank Lockhart, Indianapolis, who is here seeking to establish a new world's record in his Stutz Black Hawk Special, was the first person to rush up and greet the Britisher. For thirty minutes, Capt. Campbell and his machine were surrounded by hundreds of spectators, who rushed to extend him their congratulations, About 5,000 saw the run. | Capt.
