One Car Plunges Over Parapet ami Crushes Out Kite of Mechanician ? Another Crushes Into Touring Car, III slant ly Killing Mechanician. New York, Oct. 1.?This was the i ton of tlie sixth running of tho Vanderbilt cup race: The killed: Matthew R. Bacon, mechanician ; for Harold Stone, killed when Col- j unbu Car No. 12 plunged over bridge spanning Westbury Road. Charles Miller, mechanician for Louis Chevolet, killed when Chevlet's car left the course and struck a touring car. Ferdinand D'Zubia, New York manager of Pope-Hartford Company, killed in early morning smash-up 011 way to race. Edward Lynch run down after race; died to-night. Lbng Island Motor Parkway, N. Y.f Oct. 1.?Four killed and twenty seriously injured, three of them probably fatally, was the price in human life paid to-day in the sixth running of the Vanderbilt cup race, won in electrifying fashion by Harry Grant, driving a 120-horse power Alco. Grant, who distinguished himself last year by finishing first in the fifth Vanderbilt, won to-day's event from Joe Dawson, driving a Marmon, by the narrow margin of 25 seconds. John Aitken, in the National, was only a minute and six -^wV..viu i/vu iiiu L/anouii. The race was the most closely contested of any of the Vanderbilt cup races, and with the two small car events run as a unit, the Wheatley Hills sweep-stakes and the Massapequa trophy brought a record number of starters. The time of the three first cars to finish in the main event exceeded the best time ever made in the American road race. Grant, by covering 27 8.08 miles of the course in 4 hours, 12 minutes, 58 seconds, equivalent to an average of G5 1-5 mile an hour, established a new American record. Crowd Sorrow-Laden. Gut as brilliant as was the performance of the three winnres and as thrilling as the race itself, the horror caused by the wholesale maiming and killing which attended it cast such a deep shadow over spectators, participants and the management, that the crowd dispersed under a Da 11 of sorrow Vet, notwithstanding: the list of canealties, it was announced tonight that the Grand Prize race over ihe same course will positively be held 011 Saturday, October 15.

Car Plunges Over Parapet. The accident that caused two of the three deaths recorded was sensational in the extreme. The first occurred when the Columbia car, driven by Harold Stone. suddenly burst a tire at the approach of the cement bridge crossing the Westbury road, and, becoming unmanageable, plunged over the parapet. The groat machine went over twice in mid air and landed 011 its side, crushing out the life of Mathew Bacon, Stone's mechanician, who was caught under it. Stone himself sustained fractures to both legs and internal injuries, from which it is doubtful if he will recover. Sweeps Fence Away. The killing of Louis Chevrolet's mechanician, Charles Miller, came as the climax of a mad attempt of Chevrlot to regain the lead, lost through frequent tire trouble. The daring French driver, who, earlier in the race, had reeled off round after round at 73 1-2 miles an hour, hurdled a bad run in the back stretch, with full power on, landing on three wheels only, found his car zig-zagging from side to side unresponsive to its steering gear With Rhrlolf r?t' 1 v.f ? 4U' ? w? Mvfl IV/I I IV Mil Hit hundreds assembled at the spot, th< car plunged into the fence anc swept it away like so much paper then plunged deep into a passenger laden touring car moored on tin side of the road. The impact was terriffie and th< occupants of the touring car wen tossed high into the air. All es caped death, however, but Mille was caught in the wreckage and in stautly killed. Chevrolet owes hi j life to the staunchness of his steer ing wheel, upon which he kept i | firm hold to the end. He was pull ed out of the debris with nothinj more serious than a broken arm Other Fatuities. The third death of the day di< not occur on the course, but in ai accident en route to the race.
