AERIAL RACE
Santos Dumont Had an
Accident and Then
Descended.

PARIS, October 2.-A1l of the uncer-
tainty regarding the result of the bal
loon race for the James Gordon Bennett
cup, started from here on Sunday af-
tcrnoon, was ended at noon today.
when dispatch was received by the
Aero Club announcing that c. c. Rolls
and his companion, Colonel Capper, in
the balloon Britannia, landed at Sand
ringham Upland at $50 last night, thus
establishing that Lieutenant Frank P.
Lahm, Sixth Cavalry. U. S. A, the
American competitor IN the race, who
descended near Whitby yesterday in
the balloon United States, is the win
ner.
Signor Won Willer, Italy, is second; !;
Count de La Vaulx, France, third, and
C. c. Rolls, Great Britain, fourth Some
anxiety was felt on account of Mr..
Rolls, it being feared that he had at
tempted to cross the North sea. The
delay in reporting his descent is not
yet explained.
/ Lieutenant Lahm's friends are en-
thusiastic over his victory. With the
exception of Senior Salamanca, the
Spanish aeronaut, Lahm was the
youngest competitor. Since his assign
Inent to the cavalry at Saumur, Lahm
has devoted much attention to aero
statics and his rapid advance as an
aerial pilot has already attracted con-
siderable attention. He made a dozen
ascensions during the summer, the
longest voyage being from St Cloud
to ST. Brieno. The Lieutenant took the
place of his father In the race. the
latter, who is the best-known American
aeronaut in Paris, being called home.
Major Hersey's trip, as Lieuten-
ant Lahm's assistant, was quite acci-
dental. A Frenchman, Levee. had been
selected as assistant, but the Aero
Club of France protested him. Major
Hersey, who has just arrived here from
Norway with Walter Wellman, leader
of the Wellman Chicag ago-Record-Herald
Expedition, eagerly seized the chance.
Lieutenant Lahm, who is expected to
arrive in Paris today, covered Ais miles
against 370 miles covered by Won Will
ler, his nearest competitor.
The beautiful cup for competition by
James Gordon Bennett becomes a
trophy of the Aero Club of America.
The first cash prize of $1,000 goes to
Lieutenant Lahm and the endurance
medal to Mr.. Rolls, who was the
longest in the air.
Santos Dumont had an accident
which compelled him to descend. His
arm caught in the mechanism of his
| motor. His injury is not serious, though
it necessftated his being taken to a
hospital, the flesh of his arm being
torn and the arm becoming numb and
stiff with the pain, compelling him to
descend.

IMPROVEMENT
IN SWIMMING

Twenty years ago no man living
could swim 100 yards under s5 3-4 sec
onds; last year the record was brought
as low as So seconds. During the
same period l minute so IL seconds has
been knocked off the 500 yards time,
near 3 minutes off the half-mile and
the mile record has been reduced from
% minutes 10 3-4 seconds to "a minutes
AZ 3-5 seconds, while proportionate re-
ductions have been made at interme-
diate and greater distances. How
enormous this Improvement in speed
is can be gathered from the fact that
the champion of today could give the
champion of 1886 over 20 yards start
in mile race and beat him hand
somely.

Upton Not Yet Ready

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-There will be
no race for the America cup in 1907,
according to the Times, which says
today:
,, Whatever may be the ultimate out
come of Sir Thomas Lipton's negotia-
tions for another America cup race,
it can be stated that there will be no
race next year. Assurances are said
to have been positively given that un-
der no conditions would the New York
Yacht Club consider a race in 1907.
What might be done in the following
year, or what action may be taken
on the question of rules to govern any
match that is arranged. is absolutely
uncertain. What reason actuates the
decision said to have been reached by
those whose authority will sway the
club S decision is not yet known"
Sir Thomas made an informal visit to
the New York Yacht Club last night.
He remained, chatting with friends and
club members, until after midnight.
The Upton party leaves for Chicago
this afternoon at $50 o'clock. He will
remain there until October 9. and then
return to New York.
