THE coveted honour of flying the first of Britain's wonder-planes, the Vickers Supermarine Rolls- Royce S-6 B type, in the Schneider Trophy event on Saturday, has fallen to Flight Lieut. J. N. Boothman, who has displayed remarkable skill in the constant practices conducted in the last three weeks.

Flight Lieut. Stainforth, who apart from the leader of the High Speed Flight, Squadron Leader Orlebar, is the only mem- ber of the 1929 Flight again selected, is to be given another UNUSUAL MISHAP coveted honour, that of attempting to beat the world's speed record in straight flight. The present holder is Squadron-Leader Orlebar, who achieved 357 miles an hour. It is confidently anti- cipated that when Flight. Lieut. Stainforth takes up one of the S-6 B's in an attack on that record, he will set a mark exceeding 400 miles an hour.
The selections are stated by thel. Air Ministry to be provisional, but it is taken for granted that the
fliers will race as detailed.

THE LUXURIOUS Canadian Pacific liner, the
Empress of Japan, has just completed (as far as Hongkong) her most peculiarly eventful trip since her launching. In the phraseology of the famous Cochran' revue, life aboard has been for the officers just “One Dam Thing After Another."
Most startling among the happenings is related in a grim story of a Filipino running amok and seriously injuring four of his countrymen.
Earlier in the voyage, soon after leaving Van- couver, in fact, a number of young American or Canadian students are reported to have been found stowed away.
The ámok occurred immediately the great vessel.. had gone alongside her wharf in Manila, Valeriano Astero launching an attack with an iron wrench on four companions, two of whom are lying between life and death in hospital at Manila.
So far only meagre details of the forgers' activities have been re- ceived. The gang is believed to include a Chinese and a Japanese, who, it in said, have been en-HOME SOCCER. deavouring to place more than 2,000 notes of $100 denomination. Suspicion
