LONDON, Sept. 1
, Italy’s live machines at Oalshot are all painted red’. One Fiat known as the Red Devil is an uncanny mysteryl, as it has: never been flown, it is the smallest monoplane to be seen in Schneider Cup circles. It has a fifteen hundred horse power engine. The Italians themselves do not know the machine’s speed. They merely guiess it to be 370 or 3SO miles per hour. There is no doubt it will, participate in the race. Italv’s' other mystery, a two. engined Savora is unlikely to participate.
Meanwhile the British team continues prep-.r.Uions with undisguised confidence.
