One Man Killed and One Fatally
Wounded In Great Contest.
CUP WON BY GEORGE HEATH

Beat His Nearest Competitor q Minute
and a Half In Three Hundred Mile
Run-Made an Average Speed Of Fif-
ty-two Miles an Hour.
New York. Oct. 10.-George Arents,
Jr., a New York millionaire lies dying
at a hospital on Long Island and his
chauffeur. Carl Meusel, is dead as a re-
suit Of the automobile races for the
cup offered by William X. Vanderbilt
Jr.
Arents' car was wrecked by the tires
slipping. The chauffeur was taken to
a hospital horribly mangled, where he
died half an hour later Arents was
also taken TO the hospital, where 1t was
found he was suffering from frac-
tured skull and cerebral hemorrhages.
His family was summoned TO his bed
side.
The race was won by George Heath,
an American, driving a French auto
mobile. lie was i minute 2s seconds
ahead OF HIS nearest competitor. Al
bert Clement, a Frenchman. The finish
OF the 800 mile race was 80 close that
even after the course was completed Il
was uncertain which was actually In
the lead. The result OF the race was
protested, Clement asserting that he
was detained improperly In one Of the
controls FOR one and a half minutes.
The protest was allowed by the judges.
Official Time Of the Race.
The official time taken by Heath to
complete the 300 mile course was 9
hours SO minutes 40 seconds and that
OF Clement 6 hours BS minutes 13 sec
onds. BY the system Of controls, under
which each car had to lpse nine min
utes on each OF the ten laps by slack
enng speed in passing through Hicks
vile and Hampstead. the true running
time OF Heath was 3 hours 20 minutes
40 seconds as against hours % min
utes l3 seconds by Clement.
Heath's net average for a race over
narrow roads and around sharp curves
was more than ffty-two miles an hour.
over easier courses IN Europe an aver
age speed Of sixty miles an hour has
been made.
For the last hundred miles the race
practically was a duel between Heath
and Clement, and never has one more
desperate and thrilling been fought.
There was not minute in the race
without its special danger, but In the
last wild squirt that lasted for more
than an hour, with the men never more
than five minutes apart danger was
despised so utterly that the word be
, came meaningless.
All the other contestants had falleI
far behind, aud the race was called Of
shortly after the two leaders hai
crossed the line. During the race man
machines were so damaged that theI
drivers had TO abandon the contest.

ism that rules by ideas and sympathies.
