BaIIy shannon, Ireland, July g.
The international automobile race for
the James Gordon Bennett cup was
run Yesterday and won by JOnatzy,
member OF the German team, who COW
cred the distance OF 3T0A miles in b
hours. SO minutes, 3 seconds, iHclud-
ing the stops imposed by the regula-
tons.
Two members of the French team
ran each other so close for second
place that il will not be known until
today whether DeNnyff or Farman Is
entitled 10 the honor. Only one min
ute divided them. IL is thought likely
DeKuyffs claim to second place will
be upheld.
The most remarkable features of
the great race were its practical i'm
munity from serious accidents and the
wretched showing by the American
team. At BalIy Shannon, the head
quarters OF the race, no news has been
received OF any one being injured ex-
cept one OF the contestants, the Eng
Iish crack Jarrett, and his chauffeur.
Jarrett had a miraculous escape from
death and now lies with broken col
lar bone and badly bruised body. His
chauffeur also has a fractured collar
bone. besides a broken leg. Both,
however, are doing well. The accident
occurred through the steering gear
getting out OF order when going at full
speed. Instead Of turning a corner the
automobile ran straight into bank at
the side OF the road and was smashed
i'm two. How the occupants escaped
death is more than they themselves
can explain

car disabled through the same cause,

Baron de Catras. after making a
splendid race. broke the axle of his
car and FOxhall Keehe was retired be-
cause OF a similar accident. MOOres
and Wint0n OF the American team
both failed to finish owing to a de-
rangement OF the mechanism Il 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 I2 starters completed the
course. One Of these. Edge, the hold
er 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.
Amid the representative crowd of
English and Irish well known men
were Lord Lieutenant OF Ireland, Field
Marshal Lord Roberts and the Earl OF
Mayo. Gray DinsmOre represented
the automobile club Of America. From
the racing point OF view the contest,
which lasted from in the morning
until 1880 last evening. will be remem-
bered for the desperate struggle be
