 The machines entered by E. R. Thomas and w. G. Brokaw were out of
 the race before the end of the fourth lap. the first from broken springs and the second because of a shattered axle. Although many miles behind soma of the cars, the real leader in the race up to the end of the third lap was-the imported car No 15, driven by Teste Starting tWenty-six minutes after the first car got away, the machine circled
 the course at remarkable speed. The first three laps (90.72 miles, were cov> cred in 76 minutes and 2S seconds.

 1 The Vanderbilt car was sent away with no hope that it would be real factor in the race, but to go as speed
 record for the course. The car was 1 stopped by the judges at the end of l the first round, however, on the ground
 that flying start was not permitted in a speed trial. The objection to the flying start was finally withdrawn and the Vanderbilt car was allowed to
 continue. The first round was com
 pleted in 26 minutes flat.
 l The first serious accident of the race
 occurred on the stretch between the
 turn at Queens and Westbury, when the tires slipped from Arent's machine
 and he and his chauffeur, Carl Muesch-
 CT, were thrown violtently to the ground Arents was not seriously in, jured, but the chauffeur was badly
 hurt Both were taken to hospital
 at Mienola.
 I George Heath, an Amerfcan, won the
 race by the narrow margin of 1 min
 ute and 28 seconds over his nearest
 competitor. Albert Clement. H. H.
 Little was third. The 300 miles were lowered in remarkably fast time and 1 it is thought that many records have
 been broken. The official time for the whole distance has not yet been an-
 nounced, but an idea of the great
 speed may be gained from the fact
 that Heath covered the tenth lap thir- l ty miles, In 27 seconds. The race was protested by Clement and the decision 1 has been withdraw and the protest l will be heard and decision will ba l given later in the day
 Unfortunately, the race was smarred | by several bad accidents. One person
 was killed and four were injured. The other accidents were caused by per. sons encroaching too near to the

THE WAR MUST BE
 FOUGHT TO A FINISH
 AND JAPAN MUST GO
Russian Paper Says So, And all Hope of Compromise Abandoned-Said Now That the Reported Naval Fight Off Port Arthur Was Imaginary-Re Relatives of Soldiers Will be Taken Care of

St Petersburg, Oct S.-Replying to the statement of Count Okuma, leader of the Japanese progressive party, that the war with Russia iwould be long, but that Japan would win in the end, the Novoe Vremya this morning declares that the idea of possible compromise with Japan has been aban- doned and that the war must be prose cuted by Russia in such a. way that there can be no possibility of Japans renewing the struggle. Europe for thirty years was under the menace of revenge for Alsace. If we conclude peace with Japan all our efforts i'll the far east will be valueless and we shall have to spend enormous sums to keep up our armament there. The Japanese, once for all, must be driven out of the Asiatic continent"
 It is now accepted here that the re- ported naval fight off Port Arthur was purely imaginative. The naval ex- perts of the newspapers dwell on the difficulties which the Port Arthur squadron must experience in breaking out after the disastrous sortie of Au- gust 10. The general opinion is that the squadron could not venture out unless something had happened to the Japanese warships of which there is no knowledge here. Tn any case the Russian ships could not go to the neu- tral port of Chefoo, but must head for VIadivostok.

KURoPATKI STRENGTHENING

St Petersburg, Oct 6, 1 80 D. m.- The meagreness of the news from the front is increasing the uncertainty re- garding the developments. There is good warrant for the belief that Gen eral Kuropatkin is strengthening his left flank to meet the Japanese turn ing movement, his troops occupying a triangle, from Fushun to Mlkden and Tie pass; Over three hundred guns have arrived at the front and the ac- tivity of the Russian skirmishers be- low the Hun river creates the impress sion that Kuropatkin may conten- plate assuming the offensive. But the war office gives no encouragement of this idea, though naturally, if such a move is contemplated the war office could not be expected to admit it.
