Blerlot wnfc eliminated from tho Prix do la Vi tesse by un accident to hi* rudder, which flung his machine -ftp tho ground, set it al\je, and resulted In painful but not serious burns for the Channel fly.er. Tlio concluding ecenlc clTect of a week full of surprises was a twilight vision of Paulhan's graceful mono piano, like a great whito bird, soaring above (ho yellow dl'ik of the harvest moon, just rising abovo tho distant hills, and the fleeting "golden flyer," us tho Curtlss onachlno lia-s been dubbe d, making Its winning flight. . Thui} tho United Btates has tho lion's share of (ho honors of the meeting. Tho Prix tie Ja Vitesse of 20,000 franca ( $ 1000) Is divided Into four prizes, and was distributed to tho four machines making three rounds oT th'e course, thirty kilome ters, at the greatest speed. The first prixo was won by Curtlss quite han dily, in -spite of a penalization heavier than that of nny of his rlvalti. Curtlss won rilso tho second place In tho speed lap contest, which was over one circuit of ten kilometers, or 0.2 1. miles, raising Ills total money winning for the . meeting to 38,000 francs ($7 600). besides tho Interna tional cup, which goes to the Aero Club of America, inscribed with bis name. Tha only serious accident, of the meeting was that which removed B'.o rtvt, the American's most dangerous competitor, from the day's three-lap speed contest. Blerot's escape from death was a narrow -one. ? Ho had passed the first turn In tho Prix de la Vitesso when his rudder suddenly felled to respond. His monoplane turned completely over three times, landing with such force that tho pff irol tank burst, and, catching flro from the l:ot motor, enveloped the machine and pilot in flames. Before Blerlot could extricate himself ho was burned about the face and hands, but fortunately not seriously. i with nierlot out of the contost, Latham remained Curtlss' only se rious rival. Latham with his mono plane No. 13 started only four min utes ahead of the American, who gave chase.* Curtlss overhauled him stead ily, finishing less than 400 meters be hind the Frenchman. The tlmo by Jap3 was: Latham ? S.47 3-5, 17.38 4-5, '26.32 2-5; Curtlss ? 7.5& 4-5, >6.00 2-5, 24.15 1-5. The committee first posted Lath am's time, with ono-twentleth penali zation, r.s 27.51 2-5, giving Curtlss, In spite of his or.e-tenth penalty, the victory, as the others who had taken part in the event had not approached the American's speed. Latham, how ever, refused to accept defeat, and brought out No, 2 9. With this he flew considerably faster, his tlmo be ing recorded As S.33, 17.03, 25.18 1-5. The time, but not the amount of penalization, was posted, and there was cxcltemerit among the Americans, ns the penalization, which wts only one-twentleih, would bring the time to 2 6.33 1-5, seven seconds less (tak ing Into account the American'! pen p]ty> than that mad* hv Ourtls3. At the timu no oillcial Information could bo obtained beyond the fact that the Judges were awaiting reports from th? Field Commissioner at 5.80, after which no start would bo possi ble. Curtlss, therefore, who said he had been obliged thrlca to muffle his accelerator cn the previous flight on account of pitching, declared his con fidence that ho could do better In an other attempt, and 'decided to try again. Within two minutes his ma chine was out and speeding across the line. Ho flew higher than he had ever gone before, heoplng the Ihrot* tie wide open and making cach round nt swifter speed than in any of his previous efforts. The first round- Jie. covered In 7.4 9 2-5, the watches showed 15.37 4-5 at the end of the second round, and they were snapped at 23.20 at the finish. With his pert j'lizatlon Curfifs" timoftthus stood at ?25.4 0 2-5, and this f;ave hl<$h the raoo by almost a minute margin. j % Latham won the Prix do l'Altltude, 10^00 francs ($2flOOL Tor the aero plnnlst attaining the highest altitude, r cach lug, a height of 155 mat res (about 4Dt) fsi>t).

The river fell considerably, and whllo still high. the danger h over. Seventeen and a half inches of rain fall la the official record during three dayB. The Santa Catarlna River was higher than it has ever been, and at ono time, tho Plaza Zaragoza, the highest part of tho city, was flooded to a depth of about one foot. Fully 15,000 pereons were homs lesa and were cared for by the city government in tho best way possible. At noon 5000 persons received bread, coffee and soup at the municipal offices, but there wove many more on tho south aide of tho river out of reach of aid because the river was at flood stage. Conservative estimates of the property loss olaca the figures at $20,000,000 All through tho dny bodies wei'e taken from the debris and ruins in the path of the flood, More than i>00 had been recovtred, / Tho greatest loss of life occurred when the large I building* ap thv? south Bide of tho 1 river commenced 10 crumble and fall. Many of tho houses had from 100 to 200 people on their roofs, and all disappeared in the flood. In one school building on the south side of the river, ninety women and children were drowned when tho walls of the building collapsed. This was one of the most pathetic incidents of the flood. Tho women and chil dren had run to the school for safety, but the water having reached there, drove them from room to room until they were all clustered in ono room. Two prie3ts were with tlveni in tho room, and while the priests were blessing (ho women and children, the walla fell and the? whole ninety weive swallowed up In tho flood.
