hundred and forty minutesl That is
the marvellous record made without
previous preparation or warning, made
without unusual effort. made in the
way Of ordinary business and as a
matter of course, simply because there
was lost time to be regained.
And just herein lies the wonder and
the significance Of this latest achieve
msnt in speed. To do what the neees-
stiles of any given situation demand, to
do L easily, without fuss or nonsense,
andOo do it as wen as it can be done,
better than rivals can do ft-that is the
Empire State Express; that also is the
