Jarrott and Chauffeur Break Col In r- bonea When Car Collides With Bank American Drlvero Make a Very Poor Showing. Bally Shannon , Ireland , July 3. The International automobile nice fur the Jumt'H Gordon Dennett cup \vaii won by Janatzy , u member of the German team , who covered the dlHtancu of 370 % mlleti In G hours , 3U mlnuton and 0 secomht , Including the utopa Im posed by the regulations. Two mem bers of the French team run each other so clone for second place that It Is not yet known whether Do Knyff or Furumn Is entitled to the honor. Only onu minute divided them. It Iu thought likely that Do Knyff'u claim to second place will be upheld. The most remarkable featured of the great race wuro Its practical Immunity from serious uccldentH and the wretched showing made by the American team. At Dally Shannon , which Iu the head * quartern for the race , no nown bau boon received of any one boliiif In jured , except ouo of the contestants , the KngllBh crack , Jurrott , and his chauffeur. Jurrott had a miraculous escape from death and now lies will , a broken collarbone and a badly brulBud body. His chauffeur also IWB a fractured collarbone , besldeB a broken leg. Both are doing well. The accident occurred through the steer ing gear of the ISiiKllch cur getting out of order when going at full upeod. Instead of turning a comer the auto mobile run straight Into the bank at the side of thu road and was smashed In two. How the occupiintii escaped death la more than they themselves can explain. Stocks , another English man , hud his cur disabled through the Bumu cauHC , but wan not hurt. Baron Do Caters , after making a splendid race , broke the axle of his cur , and Foxlmll Kecno retired bcciuiRo of a similar accident Macro and Wlnton of the American team both failed to flnlBh , owing to doruiigoment of the mechanism of their cars , and Owen , the third member of the team , only completed five of the seven laps of the raco. Thus only flvo out of twelve Btartera completed the course. Ono of these , Edge , the holder of the cup , cnmo In long after the race was de clared over. The poor showing of the American competltorB IB generally attributed to the excessive lightness of their car. All arrangements for the race worked well and the Irish peasants are once moro venturing on the roads , though with fearful eyes and keen ears for the roar of the motors as they come down the hills of Klldnro. The Frenchmen received some consolation in not getting the cup by gaining the prize offered by the Hon. J. Scott Montagu , M. P. , to the team whoso members all finished. The general opinion expressed by the British authorities Is that the race was the most successful over run and Is likely to do much to remove the antagonism towards similar contests and motors In general.
