Allowing for the good luck which
tossed tho race into Grahame White
lap. he still won from the American
team by superior preparedness. OF
the three Americans selected 10 de-
fend the cup by the Aero Club OF
America, only two started. and those
two barely before the time limit al
lowed elapsed.
GrahameW White chose an carly morn
ing hour, whom the wind was most
favorable, and stole a march on tho
defenders, After his record breaking
time had been noted the Americans
waited until the last moment for
good air.
Hamilton had trouble with hls car
hureter and never got off the ground.
Broohns had been disabled. and Drex-
el had only so horse power Bleriot
to compete against Grahame-White's
ITO horse power machine.
Latham, In a 100 horse power An
tolnottc, never showed speed enough
to be dangerous and left the course
on his fifteenth round when an ugly
gust became dangerous.
Moisant Gets. Short Notice.

had TO defend the place Of Brookins

His mechanics were 80 hurried In
making ready that they forgot to at
tach heavy rubber bands which help
to elevate the rear rudder. AS he
turned into the seventh lap he lost
control, flew wide over the grand
stand. got back into the fold and
settled.
Moisant was not done. The cup
and $4,000 were Grabame-White's be-
yond recall, but there was still a
chance TO win second place for Amer
ica, even though the honor brought
no prize. Moisant attached his rub
Der bands and went up again.
