35.4 seconds. and on the second in 35.2.
 Don started his record attempts at 5:25 a. rn., before dawn. He was accompanied by his trusted mechanic. Richard Garner.
 Don, crouching low over the wheel, opened the. throttle as the very light scared into the sky, and the roaring Miss England III lifted into the air and shot over the starting line.
 The boat flashed down the course like skimming arrow, al- most hidden by clouds of spray. At the end of the mile course he swooped his craft around in a wide arc, at lowered speed, and took another bullet charge up the course.
 Persons living in the vicinity, heard the roar of the motors, and came out of their homes, some not even taking time to change from night clothing. A large crowd soon lined the banks of the famous Loch.
 Ten minutes after Don finished his first runs, officials fired a green Very light, and as the emerald glow fioated into the sky, news papermen flashed that the worlds record had been broken.
 After waiting a short time, Don directed his boat out into. the lake for the second attempt, and an- other world record.
 To-day Don won back from Gar Wood the record which Wood wrested from Don at Miami Beach, Fla, last February when Woods latest Miss America went 111.71 miles an hour. Don pre- viously had made 110.223 miles per hour at Lake Garda in July, 1891, driving the Miss England II.
 It was the Miss England II which turned turtle at Detroit last September and sank to the bottom of the Detroit river, after Don had been accused of beating the start- ing gun and was disqualified.
 Don had been virtually certain the powerful craft would beat Woods record, because last Thurs day he sent over the course at a speed unofficially estimated as IA miles an hour.
 For the past two weeks of test ing the silence along the wooded shores of Loch Lomond, most beautiful lake in Scotland, has echoed to. the staccato roar of the new Rolls-R Royce Schneider trophy engines with which the latest Miss England is equipped.
 The two powerful engines de- velop a nominal 4,000 horsepower, although they are capable of more. It is estimated that the boat may attain 125 miles an hour.
 One innovation was the installa- tion of two propellors. Miss Eng land II, in which Sir Henry Sea- grave was killed, relied on only one tiny screw that turned at 12,- 900 revolutions g minute. The re- suit was that when turning at high automobile, on a gl easy road. control, which enables Don. when one propeller, while using the other to send the boat around the bend. Don believes he can turn at 100 miles an hour as result.
 The step of Miss England III, on which she limbs on to the sur- face of the water. is an integral part of the boat. The step of Miss England II, which broke when struck by log floating in Lake Windermere, was only bolted to the frame. This accident caused Seagrave's death.
 Every grain in the woodwork of this $20O,00O craft has been sub- jected to nicrOScOpiC examination The cross members are of Hon. duras mahogany, and the frame of Canadian rock elm. The stern is scquat and flat. and her bows taper to the thinness of razor blade.
 A special paint enables her to glide across the water as though on skates, on top of this is a coat ing of graphite, forming a layer of lubricant between boat and water
