| The Spring bank holiday meeting at the Marine Gardens Speedway attracted a crowd of about 8000, who witnessed some fine riding. The honours of the evening went to Frank Varey of the Belle Vue, Manchester track who equalled the track record in winning his match with Len Stewart and thereafter won the Gold Helmet. The Edinburgh riders could not cope with Varey. In the Handicap, however, he failed to pass beyond his heat as a result of engine trouble. In this event George McKenzie rode well and won his third final of the season. The first race of the evening was unfortunate for the local rider Andy Milne. He was heavily thrown through collision with another machine and found to be suffering from a fractured jaw and concussion was removed to the Royal Infirmary. |
