"Milestones" Is of unusual interest, for

which is being prepared for the big Me
mortal Day race. The tests were made in

The chassis had only the ordinary test
seats, and the trials resembled 50O-mile

hours, and at times averaged siXty-elght
miles. which was regarded as exceptional
for an amateur driver. Never having been
on the track tefore he slowed up at the
turns. which cut his speed record ma
terially.
