A New. Speed Record.

America has lost another world record
and Britain has won it. And the win
ming of it is a tribute to British sports
manship and persistence. On the long,
sandy stretch at Daytona Beach yes
terday Maj. H. o. d. Segrave attained
his goal, that has been constantly in
front of him since the land record
passed from his grasp under the flying
wheels Of an American thirty-six-
cylinder automobile. More than year
ago Maj. Segrave, machine gunner,
aviator and automobile enthusiast, was
approached by two English sportsmen
who, calling attention to the fact that
the automobile speed title was held by
the United States, asked him to cross
the ocean again to restore it to Britain.
And to clinch the bargain they assured
him that they would go the limit 10
build the fastest car on wheels, and for
good measure the fastest craft that ever
skinned through the water.
So to this blond young Britisher was
intrusted the semi-official task of at
tanning land and water records to match
the air-speed mark already held by
England. The first part of his mission
was accomplished yesterday Driving
his specially constructed one-thousand-
horsepower monster, Maj. Segrave
burned up the sands at Daytona at the
rate of over 23l miles an hour, beating
by more than "A miles an hour the rec
ord held by Ray Keech in an American
car. The second part will be undertaken
soon, when the daring Britisher chal-
lenges Gar Wood, Americas premier
speedboat pilot, with Miss England
against Miss America VII. Woods boat
has already done better than 81 knots.
Miss England, powered with the same
motor as the automobile in which Maj.
Segrave has just broken the world rec
ord, is theoretically rated at 100 knots,
and a battle royal should ensue when
| the two drivers open the throttles.

slaught of England against America in

Mexico's Revolt Failing.

Present indications are that the Mexi-
can revolt is falling. In the first hours
the uprising of disaffected troops under
capable military leaders. against the
government, appeared to have a suf-
ficient force, at least, to establish au-
thority In several of the states and per-
haps to spread throughout the country.
But the government at Mexico City,
though evidently taken unawares by
the Instruction, acted promptly and
effectively and in short time had
uuelled the revolt in Vera Cruz and
checked it elsewhere. There now re-
mains single large rebel force in the
field concentrating at Torreon, in the
state of Coahuila. Against this force
the federal troops under the command
Of former President Gales, now serving
as minister of war. is advancing. Other
attachments of insurgents in Saltillo
are being sought by the federalists in
the hope of bringing about a definite
engagement, the outcome of which Is
hardly to be doubted in view of the
disparity of numbers. In these circum-
