miles hour, dashed through a fence
at Udina turn of the Elgin race course
while giving his car its first practice
for Saturdays race Spectators gasp
ed with horror as the car left the road,
but fortune was with the intrepid
driver and he was not seriously in
jured and his car came through with
equal good fortune.
a second feature of yesterdays prac-
tice was Wishart's accomplishment
with his Mercer car, the wen-known
driver making a lap of the fast course
at an average of 74.5 miles an hour.
This speed indicated to the "railbirds"
that the races tomorrow and Saturday
will produce speed such as has never
been witnessed at Elgin.
Wishart made three successive laps
in ISIS than seven minutes, two of them
being faster than Tetzlaff's record
breaking lap of last year, which was
made in six minutes ffty-three sec

AVIATOR'S FALL
COSTS $4,000

London, Aug. 2S.-After covering t.
043 miles in his attempt to win the
prize of $685. offered for a flight of
l.540 miles around the British Isles in
hydroplane and having broken ali
records for a flight over sea, Harry G.
Hawker was the victim OF an accident
on the Irish coast.
The aviator was only slightly in
jured. but his passenger. Kauper. was
badly hurt Hawker had trouble with
his engine soon after starting from
Oban, Scotland. and the dramatic end
Of the flight came when he was spir-
aling downward, intending to alight at
Loughshinniny, fifteen miles from
Dublin, because his engine was not
working to his satisfaction. The avia-
tors rubber soled shoe. which was COW
cred with oil, slipped off the rudder
bar and he lost control, the machine
dropping like a stone.

Hawker. telling about the mishap la

hydroplane twisted right around as it
fell and was smashed to pieces. 1t
wasn't the fault of thes machine or of
the engine. but just piece of CHASTITY
bad luck"
A few more miles would have
brought Hawker to the Kingstown
control" where the maker of the en-
CINE he used was waiting with new
valves and springs. If Hawker had
known that he would not have made
the descent at Loughshinny. Hawker
escaped with a few bruises and a
rough shaking up. His passenger
Kauper was entangled in the wreck
age of the machine. his face being
badly cut, his head and neck bruised,
and one arm broken. He was taken to
a hospital.
If the prize had been won, 1t would
have gone to Tom Sopwith. who de-
signed the hydroaeroplane and employ
ed Hawker at a salary and % per cent
of the prize money If he was success
full. The Daily Mail in recognition of
Hawker's skill and courage has made
special gift of $1,000 as a consola ton
prize.
