Albert Clement in a BayardClement was second, and the only other car to finish.

Crowding of the course necessitated calling off the event. At that time six other cars were running. Campbell in the Mercedes, Schmidt in the Packard Gray THE passing of the James Gordon Bennett Cup as an international trophy lor road racing 13 a noteworthy event in the history of automobiltng. and crank-shaft, consequently received no lubrication, and it became necessary to pour oil from tin' cans to the parts needing the on ma A arav tt.nlrn nlnn 4K Surprise and regret followed the announce The average time of Heath, the winner, wim 62.2 miles per hour, while Cli menl made 61 The course was one of a gross distance of "0.24 miU'E, covered ten times, makina an aRgrgate gross juumey of 4 inilrs. There were two controls, the first at Hicks-ville was of ihree minutes duration and lhat at Hempstead twice the lenifth.

These aggregated 1.8 miles In distance, thus reducing the journey around the course, exclusive of controls, to 28.44 miles aud making the total net distance 2S4.4 miles. Of the different nations representeij In the race at the time the struggle was called off there were running Ihree from America, the same number from France, two from Germany, and none from Italy. Of the tars which had dropped out, America had two; France, three; Germany, three, and Italy iwo. Clement was minutes 8 seconds a of Heath In the eight round, but the eventual Inner overcame this lead before the finish, aud won out by 1 minute and 28 seconds. The fastest round In the race was made by Tane.

It was hl tlrBt, aud covered In 24.04. The Jericho Turnpike from Hyde Park to Jericho, used as the southern boundary of this year's race, was part of the north aide of the circuit of Hurt. The only serious accident of the day was that to George Arents on the second round In which his mechanician, Carl Mursel was killed. Arenta was painfully Injured, but eventunlly recovered, liy the rnndiiloim governing the trophy the first two races were to be hel.i In this country. A complete summary of the first big road event in America follows: IWolf, and Lytle in the consistently perform ment made some time ago that the cup will be competed for next summer In a touring contest held by the Automobile Club of Milan (Italy) to commemorate the comple tion of the Slmplon tunnel, which has long ing Pope-Toledo, were on their ninth round of the ten-lap course; Tarte in the Panhard, and Luttgen in the Mercedes, on the eighth, and the late Frank Croker in bis Simplex, just finishing the seventh.

Lytle completed the ten laps after the struggle was called oft, thus put a fitting climax on a truly wonderful performance of a low powered car. THE Gordon Bennett Cup race of 1S05 will go down In history as the most exciting and cleanly contested event ever held for the trophy. For the eecond consecutive time, Leon Thery carried off the honors, his wonderful driving having brought the cup from Ocrmany in 1904. Thery had previously won the French elimination race, held to determine the three cars which should represent the republic in the struggle for the International cup and the quintet which would battle for the same country in the Vanderbilt race to-morrow. Six countries entered teams of three for the Gordon Bennett struggle of thlB year been in course of construction.

It is con sidered by those who follow automobile mat ters in other countries that the move to make the Gordon Bennett Cup a touring trophy Is but the beginning of the general death knell of all long distance road racing superfluous fluid, heated a marked degree, was thrown in the faces of driver and mechanician. It required tbe utmost Krlt to remain until the four circuits of tbe 85.35-mlle course had been covered. DlnKley's car was disabled on the first round by a cracked water jacket. Tracy's Locomobile arrived so Into that the driver had rover been able to take it over the dangerous and difficult course. It was running on, the third round, however, when tho race was called off.

The story of the event from in American standpoint points to a tardy preparation and a lack of knowledge of the conditions to be encountered on the other side for which tho speeds, were wholly unsultod. Or tho drivers in the Gordon Bennett race of this year Lnncla, Lytle, Dlngloy. Duray End Ntzzaro are 1o compete In the In the event of the Vanderbilt Cup going out of this country its donor may be asked to change the governing conditions so that it may be acceptable to foreign bodies which have decided in the future- to foster contests of an endurance nature. Judging from the very commendable attitude which William K. Vanderbilt, has always maintained on other occasions when the good of the sport has been at stake, It is thought any reasonable requests regarding a change of conditions will be granted.

The refusal of the Automobile Club of France and the like body in Great Britain to again enter a road race for the Gordon-Bennett Cup threw the trophy into the hands of the donor, the well-known Amer-can-born journalist, James Gordon Bennett. As Italy, through the good work of Nazzaro, finished second to France in the race of this year, the cup was turned over to the club of the first named country and, following the desire of the new holders, has been offered for touring.
