Original Toronto Star caption: British speed king Tunes up new boat for test. Kaye don, LEFT, and Dick Garner, his riding mate, are shown upon their trim craft just after they made a test run-at Detroit in preparation for the coming match with Gar Wood's Miss America X. for the coveted Harmsworth trophy. During its first test run since its arrival at Detroit it is estimated the ship had an average speed of 112 miles per hour. Both the boat and its driver are coming to the C.N.E. after the races, and Miss England III. will be shown in a speed trial in Toronto waters.
