the machinician plunged In jiffy he was through. Wagner meantime had been pouring gasoline into one tank with his right hand and lubricating oil into an other with his left.
 It was this delay that took Wagner out of the lead in 12 of the 16 laps of the race. and gave the lead to Nazarro.
 Wagner is a Frenchman. In 1906 he won the Vanderbilt cup in French car.
 New Record Set.
 In winning this first grand prize race of the Automobile Club of America Wagner set a new record for road racing in this country. George Robertson in the Van derbilt cup race of 25S miles last month set the mark at 64.3 miles an hour. To- day for the longer distance of 402 miles Wagner raised 1t to 65 5. He averaged 23 minutes to each one of the 16 laps that measured 25.13 miles. His fastest lap was made in 2l.50, but the lap honors of the day went to De Palma at the wheel of Fiat No. IS, who twice made the circuit in 21.36, an average of about 70 miles an hour.
 Rene Hanrot had raced into fourth position when his teammate, Erie, was dsables in the accident on White Blun road, but after the leading trio had fin- ished and the usual lapse of time should have brought his white car humming into view, Hanriot was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly Hanriot in Benz No. b was discovered gliding noiselessly down the roadway not 100 yards from the finish ing tape. The fuel in the tanks had all been burned part way up the stretch and the engine, which a short time before had been snortng and biting with fiery tones of steam at the passing winds, was silent and dead. Hanriot and his machan- ician were working desperately to sus- tain the dying impetus of the car long enough to reach the judges stand,
 Last Effort Wins.
 Within 20 yards of the line it seemed that the battle was lost, but in the last expiring gasp of the exhausted machine the rear wheels cleared the tape and fourth place had been won for Germany.
 Hautvast, bearded and grim, sent his Clement -Bayard car into fifth position, while Lewis Strang, the young Ameri- can, was sixth in at the finish with his Renault No. 16.

 cars quickly followed and there was a deafening roar from the many unmuffled cylinders. Hooded drivers in oil be- grimed clothes, with ear flaps tied down tightly to stihe the noise of the hurricane created by the rushing speed of the straightaway stretches and yet per- init of hearing the slightest unusual mur- mur from beneath the engine hood, busted themselves with their charges in the last preparation of the start.

seventh. DePalma of the Fiat eighth and Fournier of the Itala ninth.
 No others finished. The race devel- oped into a battle between foreign cars, the American racers seemed un- able to stand the pace cut out by the heavier and more powerful speed ma chimes from France, Germany and Italy. The most stalwart of the six American machines had a motor rated at 60-horse power, while the foreign cars ranged from 110 to 125-horse power. Of the American cars still on the road at the finish, the Simplex, with Joe Sey mour driving, had finishe 14 laps, the National, with Hugh Harding at the wheel had made II circuits, and the Lozier, handled by Ralph Mulford, ID. The Acme finished six laps, the Chad wick four and the Buick but two.
 Only One Mishap.
 The accident to the Benz car No. 19 was the only serious mishap.
 The escape of Erie, the driver. from death was miraculous. The steel studded tread of the non-skid tire on the right ear wheel broke just as the car was attaining a maximum speed of more than 90 miles an hour.
 One of the loose ends of the flying tread struck Erie in the back of the head and for the fraction of a second his hand on the steering wheel faltered. A moment later the racer had torn from the road, struck a stone and turned upside down. Erie went flying in one direction and his mechanician in an- other. The latter was unhurt, but Erie suffered a broken nose and jaw.

Several years ago Germany, under
the bourse law, attempted to pro-
hibit the buying and selling OF grain
for future delivery. As the law
worked out, instead OF beneiiting the
agriculturist and the consumer, the
only gamer was the provincial mid
dleman. who charged higher prem
iums for his increased risk growing
out OF the lack of Berlin quotations.
The farmers got less and the millers
were asked more. The result was
the intervention OF the Government
to re-cstablish the brokers' central
organization. Though the farmers
had been given the liberty to sell
their crops in advance Of delivery,
they found this could not be accom-
plishcd successfully without quota
tions which had the recognition of
producers and consumer alike.
The United States is the greatest
surplus producing wheat, corn and

OF the American crop is sold by the
