"WIZARD" SMITH'S ATTEMPT ON LAND SPEED RECORD POSSIBLY ON SUNDAY
-By Telegraph — Copyright.)
NINETY-MILE BEACH, Thurs. Mr. "Wizard" Smith stated this afternoon that the trial was almost certainly to be held about five p.m., and mentioned Sunday as the possible date, but he says the beach is still unfit for fast speeds. It was intended to start the engine this afternoon to see that it had not been affected in transit, but it was found that the compressed air machine with which the "Enterprise" will be started was not quite ready. It is expected that the engine will be started to-morrow.
