But Il VIII Bs In IN Enclosed Courss-
Some Of the Race Incidents.
{ .che correspondent Of the Associated
Press interviewed a number of the
leading United Statesan and French
automobilists and they all expressed
horror at the series of accidents, and
added that IN their opinion it would
end speed racts in France and at 9th
er points on the continent The Span
ish government has prohibited the con-
tinuance OF tie race on Spanish soil
so that ends the race completely on
high roads. But the manufacturers
have agreed that as road race is i'm
possible the meeting will be resumed
within a closed course.
Clarence Moore, of Washington, has
just returned from an inspection of
the track. for which unusual privileges
were granted him by the judges of the
races. He gives a graphic description
of the terrific speed of the racers. He
timed Louis Renault's car as it passed
him, and he found that it was making
I4h miles an hour. The automobile
of NJ. Gabriel, the winner of the first
stage, he says, gave forth roar as it
leaped the steep incline near Chartres,
like a huge rabbit bounding up
a hill He saw Jarrott approach
ing at lightning speed. A huge black
mastiff got right in the path. Jarrott
realized that to try to avoid the dog
would throw his car against a tree,
and he steered directly ahead. He
struck the dog squarely and 1t was
pinned In front of the automobile for
a moment, and then dropped to the
ground between the wheels. Every
bone in its body was broken, some of
them in dozen places.
Concerning the effect OF the acci-
dents Moore expressed the opinion that
it will stop the excessive speed of
races and that this would really be
beneficial to true sport. He says the
Paris Madrid race is less contest of
craftsmanship than a competition be-
tween rival makers, seeking to gain a
reputation.
A dispatch from Bordeaux adds an
other terrible accident to the long list
of casualties. Nine. Chayssas, accom-
panied by her husband, both riding
bicycles, were watching the passage of
automobiles Mt St Andrew de Cubzac,
twelve niles from Bordeaux, when a
horse frightened by the noise bolted
and overturned the woman, who fell
