GRANDSTAND, Ballyshannon, Ire land, July 2. The international auto mobile race for the James Gordon Ben nett cup was run today and "won by Je natzy, a member of the German team, who covered the distance of 370 miles In 6 hours, S6 minutes and 9 seconds, in cluding the stops Imposed by the regu lations. Two members of the French team ran each other so close for second place that It Trill not be known until Friday whether De Knyff or Farman Is entitled to the honor. Only one minute divided them. It Is thought probable that De Knyff's claim to second place will be upheld. The most remarkable feature of the great race was Its practical Immunity from serious accidents and the wretched showing by the American team. English. Crack In Injured. At Ballyshannon, which is the head quarters for the race, no news had been received tonight of any one being1 in jured except one of the contestants, the English crack Jarrot and his chauffeur. Jarrott had a miraculous escape from death, and now lies with a broken collar bone and a badly bruised body! His chauffeur also has a fractured collarbone, besides a broken leg. Both, however, are doing well. The accident occurred through the steering gear of the favorite English car getting out of order when going at full speed. Instead of turning a corner, the automobile ran straight into the bank at the side of the road and was smashed in two. How the occupants escaped death is more than they themselves can ex plain. The car of Stocks, another Englishman, was disabled through the same cause, but lie was not hurt. Baron de Caters,' after making a splendid race, broke the axle of his -car, and Foxhall Keene retired bo cause of a similar accident American Fail to Finish. Mooers and Wintonof the American team, both failed to finish, owing to de rangement In the mechanism of their cars, and Owen, the third member of the team, completed only five out of seven laps of the race. Thus only five out of 12 starters completed the course. One of these, Edge, the holder of the cup, came In long after the race was officially de clared over. The poor showing of the American com petitors is attributed to the excessive lightness of their cars. All arrangements for- the race -worked -well, and the Irish peasants tonight are again venturing on the roads, though with fearful eyes and keen ears for the roar of the motors as they come down the hills of Klldare. The Frenchmen received some consola tion in not getting the cup by gaining the prize offered by the Hon. Scott-Montague, M. P., to the team whose mem bens all finished. Keene Runs a Great Risk. Foxhall Keene, as one of the represen tatives of Germany, had a good chance of coming in among the leaders. Before giving up, he ran a risk which -is gener ally described as one of the most daring features In the history of motoring. Turning a corner on the second round, the tires of Keene's machine were ripped, and while repairing them he noticed that the axle was giving way. Instead of stopping, Keene drove 100 miles at the gait of over SO miles an hour, and drew uj only when the car became almost un controllable. Then It was found that the axle was within the smallest fraction of an Inch of being severed. Keene admitted that "it was as much like sitting on a box of dynamite as any thing I have ever tried, but It was an awful pity I had to withdraw, as really I had not begun to let myself out." Keene's mishap caused tho greatest re gret, next to Jarrotfs accident, of anj '.ncldent of the day. "Vell-Knovra Men Present. Amid the representative crowd' of Eng lish and Irish well-known men were the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Field Marshal Lord Roberts and the Earl of Mayo. C. Gray Dlnsmorc represented the Automo bile Club of America. From a racing point of view, the con test, -which lasted from 7 in the morning until 7:20 this evening, will be always re membered for the desperate struggle be tween De Knyff, French, and Jenatzy, German. The daring driving or Gabriel In the Paris-Bordeaux race was quite eclipsed today by tho speed at which the contestants seven times passed the judges' stand at Ballyshannon. Then the rivalry between Germany and France always stood out. Both Jenatzy and De Kynff waved their hands wildly In an .swer to the cheers of the onlookers and drove with what looked like desperation. As the final round approached and the cap between the-two rivals lessened there were many who thought that a collision was inevitable, but De Kynff kept his lead of a minute or two and crossed the line ahead. Distance "Was 38 Mile. .The total distance of the course was 36S miles and 7G5 yards, as measured by -a surveyor. It was laid out principally In County Klldare, the start and finish belnsr at Ballyshannon crossroads, ' about 25 miles southwest of Dublin. In outline the course somewhat resembled a map of Africa, transversely divided Into two parts, which were known as the major and minor loop. The distance around the smaller loop was about 45 miles, and 102 miles around them both, and there was a dividing stretch of about IS mHes that had to be covered six times in going; three times around the combined loops. The small loop was covered first, and then the racers went three times around the combined loops. Long before dawn hundreds of police patrolled the usually quiet country roads, which early in the day were alive with a continuous stream of motor cars. "When the pilot car left, shortly after 6 A. M., the 30 stands surrounding Ballyshannon were becoming crowded with gaily dressed people, many of whom had spent the night In tents, erected in all directions. several complaints were made, notably by Mooers, regarding the over-olling of sections of tho roads.

ADoarcntlv. the storm -was in two divisions, one advancing down the valley of the Hudson River and the otner approaching from Lonsr tlsland Sound, which was torn Into a fury by the force of the wind.

WASHINGTON TROUBLES OF HIS DISCUSSES RACE. Recent Lynchings Mnlie the Issue National, and in the End Justice Will PrevaiL LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 2. Before an audience which crowded McCauley's Theater to the doors. Booker T. Washing ton, head of the Tuakegee, Ala., Normal School, tonight delivered an address, in which he said that recent regrettable events In connection with the race ques tion only went to show that lynch law was not confined to any one section of tho country- These events, he said, tend ed to simplify the race problem by mak ing it national. He admitted that the race was now passing a very serious and trying period, of developmeat, and appealed to the negro to be calm and exercise self-control. Among other speakers was W. H. Lewis, Assistant Dlstrict'Attorney of Massachusetts, who was appointed several months ago by President Roosevelt. Principal Washing ton said In part: "In the present season of anxiety, and almost of despair, which possesses an element of race, there are two things which I wish to say as strongly as I may: "First Let, no man of the race become discouraged or hopeless. 'There are In this country. North and South, men who mean to help in securing justice to the race. Such a man is Judge Jones, of Alabama, to whom more credit should bo given for blotting out the Infamous sys tem of peonage than to any other man. "Second Let us keep before us the fact that almost without exception every race or nation that has ever gotten upon Its feet has done so through struggle and trial and persecution. No one should seek to close his eyes to the truth that the race Is passing through a very se rious and trying period of its develop ment, a period that calls for the use of our ripest thought and sober Judgment. "Let nothing lead us into extremes of utterance or action. In the long run it Is the race or individual that exercises the most patience, forbearance and self-control In the modst of trying coneYtlons that wins lto cause. Let nothing induce us to descend to the level of the mob. In advo cating this policy I am not asking that the negro act the coward; we are not cowards: the nart we have played in de fending tne flag of our country Is suffi cient evidence of our courage. "The recent outbreaks of the mob em phasize two lessons, one for our race and one for the other citizens of our country. South and North, for it 13 to be noted that the work of the lyncher la not confined to one section of the country. The lesson for us Is that we should see to it that so far as the influence of parent, school or pul pit la concerned no effort be spared to Impress upon our people the fact that idleness and crime should cease. Wo should let the world know on all proper occasions that we consider no legal pun ishment too severe for the wretch of any race who attempts to outrage a woman.
