ENGLISHMAN 'WINSr AVIATION TROPHY ORAHAME-WHITE CAPTURES GOR DON BENNETT CUP. Le Blanc, Far Ahead, Forced to Make Perilous Descent When Fuel Fails. New York, Oct. 29.-Claude Gra kame-White, flying for the Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom, lifted the Gordon Bennett interna tional speed trophy from the custody *f America today In the fastest time ior the full distance of 100 kilometres (61 1-4 miles) around a five kilo metre course. His average speed was a fraction better than 61 miles an hour and his fastest lap was two minutes, 55.77 seconds, but the cap agn of the French team, Alfred Le lanc, flying In a similar machine. a 100 horse power Bleriot monoplane, -was making each lap no an average *f 20 seconds faster than Grahame White and would have w nothe cup if he had not met with a disastrous ac-; *ident in his last lap, when he had the race seemingly well in hand. His first lap was a new world's 'record in itself for five kilometres-2 minutes, 45.63 seconds-but he ex -seeded It with a lap done in 2 min ates, 44.32 seconds. Was Well Ahead. Te Blanc was running before the wind under full power at an estimated .peed of 80 miles an hour when the leed pipe from his gasoline tank to his motor loosened under the Inces -sant Jarring of the engine and he suddenly found himself with nothing but momentum to carry him. Le .Blanc was helpless and panic stricken He tried to lift his planes so that 1te last few drops of gasoline might -Iter down into the engine and lend: 'Im strength enough to make a land ing. His steerageway was gone and when a puff of wind caught him he d"' 4rifted sideways, still driving at tre mendous speed, and crashed foremost Jbto a -telegraph pole. The pole was 14 inches thick but 'he broke it In three pieces as if it had 1een a toothpick. The chassis and steel shield which enclose the motor were completely crumpled, but the solid steel of the motor itself with stood the shock. Had Le Blanc hit tie pole in any other manner it is difficult to see how he could have .pesibly escaped death. Every One Sorry. ~iRis accident was accepted on every I mand with the greatest regret. Gra kamriaWhi-te, the wiine4, ad1mitted that Le Blanc would have won the race and would have established a -world's record even better than his own except for his mishap. Charles K. Hamilton of 'the American team was enthusiastic: . "Le Blanc is the best track driver in the world," he said. "The way he -took those turns was a marvel. Gra bame-White would never have been i it except for Le Blanc's accident and no American machine had a bhance with him. I am going to throw my macihine into the scrap .heap and buy a Bleriot before I leave this track. The biplane is out of date and we might as well admit it." Hamilton will challenge for the cup next year. The Wright brothers will . also build a new racer and go after it.' John B. Moissant will be a third dhal Jenger. "You bet," he said, "I'm going after It. If I don't bring it back some other American will." Colored State Fair Meets in Columbia . November 7 to 12.
