The administration has been re

president took the question into his

will take up this question and continu'
consideration of it until all OF the un

At four o'clock yesterday evening
smoke burst from the air shaft above

general alarm at first, for 1t was

AUTOMOBILE RACE.
The Contest for the Bennett .Cnp Won M
Jenatzy-A wretched Showing By the
American Team.


Bally Shannon, Ireland, July B.
The international automobile race
for the James Gordon Bennett cur
was run yesterday and won by Jen
atty, a member of the German team
who covered the distance of 370%
miles in six hours, So minutes and
nine seconds, including the stops i'm.
posed by the regulations. Two mem.
bers of the French team ran each
other SO close for second place that
it win not be known until Friday
whether De Knyff or Farman is emit
tied to the honor. Only one minute
divided them. 1t is thought likely
that De Knyff's claim to second place
will be upheld. The most remarkable
features of the great race were its
practical immunity from serious &C.
cidents and the wretched showing by
the American team. At Bally Shan
non, which is the headquarters for
the race, no news had been received
last night of anyone being injured
except one of the contestants, the
English crack, Jarrett, and his chauf-
feur. Jarrett had miraculous es-
cape from death and now lies with
a broken collarbone and badly
bruised body. His chauffeur also has
a fractured collarbone, besides a
broken leg. Both, however, are do
ing well. The accident occurred
through the steering gear of the IA
vorite English car getting out of or
der when at full speed. Instead Of
turning a corner the automobile ran
straight into the bank at the side of
the road and was smashed in two.
How the occupants escaped death is
more than they themselves can ex-
plain. Stocks, another Englishman,
had his car disabled through the same
cause, but was not hurt.
Baron de Caters, after making a
splendid race, broke the axle of his
car and Foxhall Keene retired be-
cause of similar accident. Moers
and Winton, of the American team,
both failed to finish, owing to de-
in the mechanism of their
cars and Owen, the third member
of the team, only completed five out
Of seven laps Of the race. Thus only
five out of IL starters completed the
course. One of these, Edge, the
holder of the cup, came in long after
the race was officially declared over.
The poor showing Of the American
competitors is generally attributed to
the excessive lightness of their cars.
Owen, who made the best showing
them, when the race was over
said he could not blame the roads.
I guess the reason was beaten is
The same as that of the other fell
ows who were defeated by the dar-
ng German"
