An attempt at the record is also to jbe made by Wally Kilmister. Iv both efforts there should bo broadsiding of an outstanding order, and for further thrills there will be the special points',race between Pearce, Eilmlster, and van Praag, who will meet one another three times under rolling start conditions. These events will furnish but part- of a big programme.
