Where Il Happened.
Fire broke out in the mine last Saturday
and although 200 men have worked every
other day. the fire being we'll walled off
while they were at work and fought, bar
ring the off days, it could not be extin'
guished. Today the miners were idle and
only the force of fighters. gas men and
foremen went in. The supposition is thai
the brattices leaked and let the gas out into
the fire area. causing an explosion which
ignited the dust of the mine, completely
wrecking the workings.
Large gangs of men are engaged In the
work OF rescue. but the entombed miners
are dead and their bodies may not bc
reached for many days. All were married
and leave large families. An explosion II

tional racing in this country between the
American Automobile Association and the
Automobile Club of America this year
the Vanderbilt cup race has lost its inter-
national character and has become a
purely American race. 1t has lost none OF
its interest, however. and it is probable
that every speed record for road racing
in this country will be shattered tomor-
row.
The first race for the cup, in 1904. was
won by an American driver. George
Heath. who was at the wheel of a French
Panhard car. France was also victorious
In the races of 1905 and 1905, Hemery
winning in Darracq in 1905 and Wagner,
in a car Of the same make, in 1906.
The race in 1904 attracted huge crowds
to the Nassau county roads over which 1t
was held. and was thrilling enough to
justify all the interest it aroused. George
Heath. the winner. drove his ninety horse
power Panhard car around the circuit at
an average speed of 522 miles an hour. a
speed which compared favorably at that
time with the great European road race
records. One other car completed the
course. Clement Bayard. driven by
young Albert Clement. who was killed
about a year ago in France. Herbert
Lyle. who drives an: Isotta car in this
years race, and who broke all American
road records two weeks ago in the Motor
Parkway sweepstakes, was third, in a
24-horsepower Pope-Toledo.
cult in 1904, Hemery won the race in a
Darracq car. Heath being second this
time. The average speed in this race
was much greater and established in
fact. the average speed record that stood
until Lytle's fine performance this year
on the new course, made in a stock car.
Hemery set figures of 81 81 miles an hour
Third place in 1905 went to America. Joe
Tracy. in 90-horsepower Locomobila.
being the man to win place for the
United States. Lancia. the great italian
driver. was fourth. in a Fiat, after meet
ing with an accident when we'll in the
lead.
The 1906 race. won by Wagner in a
1O0-horsepower DarracQ car alter thrill
ling struggled with Lancia, in 120-horse a
power Fiat. was marred by the first fatal
accident of the Vanderbilt Cup races.
Elliott Shepard. driving as an amateur.
was at the wheel of a great Hotchkiss
racer, when man ran out from the
crowd at krug's corner and was instantly
killed. The conduct OF the crowds all
along the course in 1906 was reckless in
the extreme. No attention was paid to
the deputy sheriffs who sought to keep tn =
enthusiasts back. and 1t was amazing that
more deaths were not recorded.
The record for the Motor Parkway
course. which also stands as a road racing
record in this country. Is 642S miles an
hour, made by Herbert Lytle when he
won the Motor Parkway sweepstakes in
an Isotta car two weeks ago.

Eddie McAvoy and Eddie Carter are
