(Received Friday, 7 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 14. At Dayton Beach, Major Segrave said that he would immediately crate the “Golden Arrow,” and ship it hack to England and not race the automobile in the United States again in 1929, possibly, never again. However, he expects that nothing will interfere with the execution of his plans to attack the motor boat record in the contests soon to' be held off the Miami Coast, in which Major Segrave’s boat, “Miss England,” will have as its principal rival, ’‘Miss America 1V.,” belonging to tho noted American boat racer, Car Wood. Major Segrave hopes that his boat will reach a speed of ninety miles per hour. A valedictory to the photographer Traub, killed in the Bible smash,' will be a world-wide showing of a. news reel of the pictures he was making when he was crushed to death. The pictures were saved from the wreckage of his camera, which he attended to the end,' following the photographer’s commandment, “Gfet Your Picture.” Ray Hill, editor of the Pathe News, speaking of similar incidents, said: “They are the bravest men I know.” He recalled the escape of a phtographer last year when a ear in which Lockhart was killed somersaulted over the cameraman’s head.—(Australian Press Association.)
