PARIS, Sept. 25.-Sadj lee>jete, 'ho
French fier who to-day spec over the
lOo-meter course Il the tgc"tA elm
nation trials eor the Bennett Cu. race
at u speed of 2s2 kilometers an hour,
placed himself at the head of the team
which will represent his country in the
big race next Tuesday.
Flying the last part Of his trial heat
at a distance at times of only two
meters from the ground Lecointe COW
cred the course in the fastest time of
the day, despite hard luck which at
first threatened to rob him OF place
on the French team.
Iecointe mounted his Nieuport short
ly after 8 o'clock this morning and
headed for the course at Etampes, just
outside the city. The weather was fine
but the wind slight. ell got started
we'll .and had flown nearly twenty min
utes when his little machine was seen
to be swerving and dropping. Auto
mobiles were rushed to the scene where
Leconte had alighted but it was dis
covered that only engine trouble had
forced the descent.
After making few requirements on
his machine Lecointe started again this
afternoon, resolved to make up for his
mornings failure. The machine took
off like shell from big gun and
never slackened it's speed over the en-
tire course, flying low most Of the
time to take advantage of the heavier
atmosphere. AS he neared the goal
Lecointe was so close to the ground
that spectators feared he would be un-
able to make landing, but without
mishap he glided to a standstill after
covering the 100 kilometers in 81 min
utes y28 seconds.
The first attempt of the day was
made in SDad by Captain de Romanet,
who covered the distance in % min
utes and 16 seconds. During Lecointe' S
first flight Cusale also went up, and
finished in % minutes and 40 seconds
but this trial was annulled because of
irregularity in going around the outer
pylon. Casale tried again. but failed
to get a good start, and it took him rs
minutes to cover the course. He was
thus definitely eliminated. Kirsch
made the distance in % minutes is
seconds in his first flight. He did not
improve this on further trials, so takes
second place on the team.
