—strange break-

The grandstand was not overrun, butthis did not mean that the race hadlest its popularity. Many have learnedthat the places to see a Vand»rbi

David Bru<-e-BroT\ n. the amateur, whokept running at about the same «?ven

pace; Leland A. Mitchell, who had his

big Simplex car in the thick of the light

most of the way. and Jack Fleming, whogot a lot of speed out of his smooth run-ning Pope-Hartford. Robert Burmanalso drove w«*ll for eight laps, and then SIRS. H. B. EUBTIS.

These brushes aroused the crowd to a

high state of excitement.Because of the wire fence? around the

Motor Parkway the course was fairly

well policed, but on the country roads,

which made up more than half the cir-cuit, the drivers were in constant fearof committing manslaughter. Many per-sons seemed to reck not of their livesand encroached upon the course in a way

that no doubt led up to many of theaccidents that marred the race.

the race was spectacular to a degree.

There was hardly a moment when one

Side Lights and Incidents That IlluminedVanderbilt Cvip Race.

While the average time made in yester-day's Vanderbilt race was the record aver-age time for this fixture and for America,

It is not the fastest average hourly timeever made in road race.- The record —asmade In th« Florio cup race at Bologna,Italy. September fi. 190S— a distance of 552.2

miles. The average time made by Naz-zarro in a Fiat car in that race was 71.3miles an hour. In the. Grand Prix race atDieppe, France, on July fi, IMB, Lauten-schlager, driving a Mercedes, made an av-erage of 63.24 miles an hour over a distanceof 478.1 miles.

The farmer." and householder- of NassauCounty reaped a harvest last Friday nlcht.After leavins Mtineola there were literally

hundreds of men with lanterns who swung

them in the faces of the car occupants and

advised them that they could have parkingspaces at rates varying from Jl 10 J.'i. Oneof them was asked how and why he variedIlls rates. "Well," he said. "Ilooks at theircar. Then Ilook? at thorn. And if1 thinkthey won't kick 1 rharge 15, but if Ithinkthey will kick Icharge $1."

One of t!;e men in the press stand hadnever seen a Vanderbilt rare before, and he

was loudly enthusiastic. When one of theCHdsmobiles went by on one of the laps begot quite excited and railed to tjip officialsthat the chain of that car was mixed upIn the wheels and would overturn the carif they didn't watch out. He was told thatthe car was shaft driven and no' to botherthe officials.

After it was over and lie bad removeds.;fn>it>nt <lirt from his face to show whatmanner of man he was, some one asked htmhow h<> lik«-d it. "Well." said. he. #'I wouldnot have missed it for $l,ot¥) and Iwouldnot do it a sain for 15,009."

Mr. Pardington should have consideredthe matter when he appointed October 1

as the date of the big race.Fred Wagner, the veteran starter of

automobile races, is never happy unless he

is busy. He has his hands usually pretty

fall keeping the riders in order before andduring the running of a big race like the

context yesterday. But he discovered a

leaking water pipe in the middle of thepit section yesterday, when the big race

was about half over. He promptly requi-

sitioned some tire, tape from one of th«pits and set to work diligently to mendthe. leak, which he did very acceptably.

Amonc the thousands who attended th«

Vanderbilt race was a man from Coloradowho had seen a good many of the worthwhile thine? in the world H» was anxiousto see the Vanderbilt. Accordingly he wastaken. He was left in an automobile which

was parked Ina space facing on the park-

way. He could not see very much, but he

was vastly interested in what he could pee,

and the weird ride, down through the night

fascinated him greatly. -

October 1 Is mortals day. and when the

interminable string of cars came up theHoffman Boulevard approaching the

Queensboro Bridge it met a seemingly

endless parade of moving vans staffedwith household good*, which hung out atdangerous angles, and threatened to side-swipe Pome of the occupants from theclosely packed cars.

But this was the smallest of the trouble.The. vans got into all sorts of inconsid-erate places, mired across the road andslued into sand hollows.

Thore waa one unforeseen complication

Ten Thousand Cars Carry Manyto Vanderbilt Cup Race.

the thousands that lined the VanderbiltCup course as the ears swept by. Every

one peemed to have his or h*r own way

of looking at the race. There were as

many thousand ways of enjoying thespectacle as th^re tver* spectators, andthey all had their say about it, too. a

who stood up in a Long Island Railroadtrain from Brooklyn to tne grandstand

had a set of emotions, highly developed

ones, entirely different from those ofthe ones who had motored over from(Jarden City in the cold, gray dawn.

Then perforce the race was stopped

and those who were not lucky enough to

own cars or own friends that did made

their wav to the tracks of the Long

Island Railroad and waited for the

wheezing, puffing engine to struggle

handle. Going to the course was badenough, but coming back was a night-

mare, the more realistic as most every-

body Cored off between jerks and stops.

The Yanderbilt Cup race is over, the

struggle for the Grand Prize 13 to come,

and even the speed maniacs are hoping

that the cost may not he so groat.

Spectator Hurls a Bottle.

Louis A. Disbrow and John Aitken.

vho finished second and third, respec-

tively, in the big race, had hard luck

stories to tell which no doubt had dis-

tinct bearing on the outcome, and which,

perhaps robbed them of the victory they

might have won. Neither man was dis-

posed to detract one whit from the credit

due Harry Grant, but both felt that the

luck of the race was against them.

John Aitken had something more than

a' grievance, as some man near th«

grandstand who had a better aim than

peiise of fairness hurled an empty beer

bottle at the car as It flew by. The mis-

sile rtruck Aitken's mechanic on the

head, and stunned him so that he. was

limp in the car for almost a full lap

This necessitated flow driving, and

Aitken lost many precious minutes'out* Disbrow plowed up for a stretch

and almost withdrew from the race be-

cause he thought he had struck and

perhaps killed an onlooker. He was so

wrought up for a time that he lost all

merest in the struggle, but suddenly

realised that he had a duty to perform

and sent his car spinning along once

more at top speed.

So far as driving was concerned, there

was little to choose among the first

three to finish. Allthree showed remark-

able skill in handling their cars, that

reared and plunged and jumped about

at times as ifabout to flyoff the course.

Ml three were daring without being

reckless: all three were careful without

being timid.Louis Chevrolet appeared to have the

nice at bis mercy when the unfortunateaccident which resulted In the death of

struggle. His driving at times waswonderful, and to him belongs th.- credit

for covering the fastest lap. He rushedover the circuit in something under 10

was t'e case in other rears, when the

leading cars finished. Those who hadonly two or three la' to complete frereallowed to go thundering on. Suddenly.

however, the crowd, which had beenkept Inbounds all too long Inits way of

thinking, broke loose, and Foon touring

cars, runabouts and. in fact, everything

that had four wheels and a bit of gaso-

lene was shooting up and down thecourse.

The seconds ticked off. each one seem-

ing like a full minute to th" anxiouswatchers. Once more the bugle sound-ed, once more the cry vent up, "Carcoming!" and once more necks were

craned and watches consulted as Daw-;-> 11 cane hurtling down the course.The driver knew full well that every

second was precious, and withoutthought of risk the car jumped the lastbridge and swung around the last turn

Suddenly the bugle announcing the

out. In a moment the crowd was on
