GIRL WILL SEEK
BOAT SPEED

NEW YORK, July 24.--Another
challenge to the supremacy of
America in sports has been issued
from England, this time by a %.
year.old girl, who IL coming here
next month to compete against Gar
Wood on the Detroit River for the
worlds speedboat championship.
She is Miss Betty Carstairs, the
same young Englishwoman whose
boat upset in the race at Detroit
last year. which Gar Wood won at
SO miles per hour.
After many months Of secret
building on a tiny island at East
Cowes in England, the Estelle Nv,
the boat with which Miss Car
stairs will try for q new worlds
speed record. has been launched.
Miss Carstairs plans doing all the
plotting of the British challenger.
When she swings the wheel, it will
turn two rudders. The second Is
forward to permit sharp bends with
out reducing the speed.
Three thousand horsepower will
be at Miss CarstaiE's command
when she takes the throttle. This
tremendous power comes from three
Napier engines. identical with those
used on the Napier SIS seaplane,
which holds the air speed record
and with the engines In Sir Henry
Segrave's Golden Arrow automobile.
which has set the world speed
record for land travel.
Miss CarstairS has refused to
state the speed she expected to
make. It Is generally understood
that the boat can hit 10S miles per
hour when pressed.
