CENTENARY AIR RACE.
BRITAIN’S PROSPECTS. Received October 28, 1.40 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 27. The Evening Standard deplores the loss of tire new mail carrier on October 24 as it was the only machine thus far built in Britain embodying the requisite range and speed to enable a reasonable chance of winning the London-Melbourne air race. The only other comparable British machine is a mail-carrier built by the Avro Company, which reached 170 miles an hour in the King’s Cup race in 1932. It is now re-engined and is expected to be capable of 200 m.p.h.
