MAJOR SEGRAVE WINS HEAT. SPEED BOAT EECORD CONTEST AT MIAMI. AMERICAN CRAFT MEETS WITH ! MISHAP. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received Thursday, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, March '2O. At Miami Beach, Miss England won the first twelve miles heat in the speedboat record contest, when Miss America VH. was forced out in the third two-mile lap, with a broken quadrant, after averaging approximately 54 miles per hour. Wood, who was leading before the mishap, expects to be ready to enter the final heat to-morrow. The best he can do seems to be to tie with Major Segrave and that is not certain unless Major Segrave break down himself.—(Australian Press Association.)
