KAYE DON SMASHES SPEEDBOAT RECORD.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH

FOR BRITAIN.

MISS ENGLAND DOES 110 MILES AN HOUR.

THRILLING SCENE. KAYE DON, famous British racing motorist and

speedboat pilot, created a new world water speed record in Italy yesterday afternoon, guiding Lord Wake. field's Miss England II through the waters of Lake Garda at the phenomenal speed of 110 miles an hour.

CRITICISED.

Hundreds of spectators lining the shores of Lake Garda witnessed a thrilling spectacle as the graceful silver-hulled motorboat tore through the waters at a NOT ENOUGH SHOW speed equal to that of the average aeroplane, nearly seven miles an hour faster than the world's previous best, Don's own time, and eight miles an hour better than the performance of any other water craft in the world.
