AMERICAS HOPE DIMMED.
Grahame-white's Remarkable Time
Accident TO Aviator.

Belmont Aviation Field, IL. Oct.
%. Americas hope Of retaining the
Gordon Bennett trophy in the Coupe
Internationale d'Ayiation was dimmed
today when Walter Brookins, in a
Wright flyer, came cropper. The
wonderful little racer with which the
Dayton brothers expected TO retain the
worlds air trophy, fell directly in front
OF the grandstand, and was smashed 10
a crumpled mass OF steel, canvas and
wood. Young Brookins, badly hurt, IS
being cared ror in the emergency hos
pital by Miss Katherine Wright, sister
OF the Dayton aviators.
Half an hour earlier, while making
his last lap in the Gordon Bennett race
Alfred lie Blanc, master flyer ofthe
French team, came to grief against a
telephone pole just outside the aviation
field Up to the time OF his accident
Lc Blanc was establishing worlds
records for long distance speed Lying,
having made fifty nine miles at the rate
OF 66 10 miles an hour.
IN TO noon the fastest time IN the
race had been made by Claude
Grahame-Whito in his 100 horsepower
BIeriot. Hc completed the 100 kilo.
metre course (62. IA miles, in hour, ]
minute. 4 seconds, and 6O-lOO at the
rate OF 60 miles an hour.
Shortly after the accident to BROOK
Inns, the Wrights announced that they
would make no effort in the Gordon
Bennett race. 1t was probable thai
John b. Moisant, the cross-channe
hier, would, therefore, be substituted
as the third member OF the American
team.
During the forenoon only one othei
racer had completed the Gordon Ben
nett course. This was Alec 0lgiyie, il
A Wright racer, his elapsed time beinE
> hours, six minutes, $500. He wa
compelled to alight for an hour be
cause OF defective ignition. But TO
the hour he was on the ground, Ogilvle'
time would have almost equalled tina
