LONDON, Dec. 9. After an inspection of several alternative venues, tlie Aero Club decided to hold the 1929 Schneider Cup race at the Solent. The opinion is that it alone combines a stretch oi smooth water suitable for three hundred miles an hour machines to alight upon, with the necessary shed and slipway accommodation. It is expected that Britain, France, Italy, America, and Germany will compete. Special racing seaplanes, estimated to attain a speed of three hundred miles per hour, are being constructed in Britain in order to defend the trophy.
