N, S.) — Contrary to expectation«, It 1« an nounced that Britain 1« sending a team to the United States to jry to regain the Schneider Cup this fall. It will be recalled that the United States machines won the cup from Britain in «mashing style at Cowes lust year. According to the theory that the race must take place in the country by which the cup- is held, thia year’s ruce will be decided over a sea course In the vicinity of Bal* tlmore. Besides representatives from Bri tain, muchlnes from Franco and Italy have also entered, giving i h.- promise of a keen struggle for the honor of holding the cup for a year. Duo to the poor financial state of tho aircraft Industry In Britain It ut ono time appeared extremely unlike ly that the necessary money and machines could be raised, but the official announcement has definitely allayed these fears. The llritlsh team will consist of two machines and n team of pilots and mechanicians, all of whom will be under the charge of lx)T<l Edward Grosvenor. One machine will bo a float sea- plane built by the (lloucestershire Aircraft Corporation', driven by a 550-horsepower Napier Lion engine, while the other will be a small type of the famous supermarine flying boat, driven by* a • tff>0-horsepower Rolls Royco Condor engine. The first-named machine is a very smull biplane, and a development of the famous Gloster aero-planes which have won almost every aero plane speed record In England, is being especially built fog the race, and It is expected that she be able to accomplish 2 70 miles hour. Larry Carter will be pilot, while Hubert Broad. fnmous English seaplane speed man. may go to America us spare pilot. The second-named machine will be a biplane flying boat, and It is expects?) that her (150-horsepower engine will give her a terrific speed. Her pilot will be Hnrry Binrd. who won the Schneider Cup for Britain in 1922 and who was the only 'Brit ish entrant at Cowes last year. Tho British pilots regard their prospects of regaining the cup as very bright: ,b.ut, in face of the ter rific speeds which the famous Cur tis navy racers can do, they will have to do something especially good to win, in the opinion of ex- pert.B. The teams entered from Erance and Italy are so far unknown quan* titles, but ft Is known that at some of the trials of the latest Italian ma chines terrific speeds have been ac complished.
