A Milan message states that an outstanding motor record was achieved by Miss Violet Cordery aged 23, a British lady, on the great Monza, track. She covered 10,378 miles in approximately 10,000 minutes, thereby establishing five long distance records, and performing an astonishing feat of endurance.
