Orlebar's feat is a particularly brilliant une in- view of the handi- cap imposed by bad weather con- ditions. Visibility was very poor and mist often hid the machines from the spectators. Stainforth's effort in the Gloster-Napier was also very good, when it is con- sidered that visibility during his fights was even worse than when Orlebar made his attempt. Orlebar is expected to make a further attempt on Thursday morning and, if weather conditions are pro- pitious, it is confidently believed that he will exceed his present record by at least 15 miles an hour.
