pressed at Etampes during the airplnne

quately comrete with the French Nieu-
ports and sDad piloted by Sadi Leconite,

around the track, and Bernard de Ro-

twenty minutes later both machines had
landed-R nehart with a faulty control
and Schroeder because of the fumes
again coming out Of his exhaust and
threatening to catch the woodwork
alight. The French champion, who had
completed the course seemed worried
when he Witnessed the start OF the
American machines, for he firmly be-
lieved that Schroeder could go faster
than he. In a conversation few min
utes later he said he thought the trouble
lay in the fact that 20 pr liminarY tests
were made with the Vervilie- Packard.
Lecointe himself had tested and tried
his machine for some twelve days prev
iously, as did also Kirsch, who neyerthe-
less was unable to finish the course, his
engine misfring.
Tie only British machine left in the
race suffered til the same faulty en-
CINE trouble. Even before 1t left the
ground his engine was missing and 1t
took him twenty-five minutes to cover
the 100 kilometers which Sadi Lecointe
had covered in twenty one and half
minutes.

CINE being tested and considered that
Schroeder would win the race. At the
same time, however. he remarked on the
danger Of fire from such a powerful en-
CINE for even during the testing huge
flames leaped out OF the exhaust pipes.
Other Frenchmen believed the Dayton
Wright the better Of the two machines,
but thought that Rinehart would be seri-
Ously handicapped in not having a clear
frontal view Of where he was going. The
machine was considered fast enough and
the greatest interest wac aroused In the
ability to rull in the landing wheels and
level out the two wings.
A shout of excitement went up from
the French when the Dayton Wright
took the air and the speed at which it
crossed the starting line was much com
