LADY MOTORIST
A WONDERFUL RECORD. 10,000 MILES IN 10,000 MINUTES. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rome, March 17. A Milan message states that an outstanding motor record was achieved by Miss Violet Cordery, aged 23, a British lady, on the great Monza track. She covered 10,378 miles in approximately 10,000 minutes, thereby establishing five records for long distance and performing an astonishing feat of endurance. The first attempt was spoiled through one of her relief drivers falling asleep after 5,000 miles, necessitating a restart. To-day trouble with a water pump in the radiator caused two hours’ delay. Miss Cordery is captaining a team of six drivers in the Minza races.—A. & N.Z.
