NEW YORK, Sept. 21 A raet throng
which rushed upon the course today pre
vented the completion of the elimination
race to eelect Ave American racing auto
mobiles to take part In the race for the
Vanderbilt cup, after three of the cars had
completed the rsce. Joeeph Tracy, who
won the race, Hubert Leblon second and
H. K. Harding third, were the only rscers
who were allowed to cover the entire
course. They thue qualified their machines
for the cup races and the Judges selected
machines driven by Herbert B. Lyttie and
Walter Christie ss the other two, to rep
resent . Americsn manufacturers in the big
race.
When Tracy crossed the finish line of the
287-rolle Journey, after a sensational rsce
In which be made one circuit of the course
at the rate of a mile a minute, Including
nine turns, the great crowd of spectators,
which greeted him with a roar of cheers,
thronged down upon the course and en
gaged In a scramble to see snd congratu
late the winner. Leblon and Harding, who
were on the tenth and laet lap, had to
drive their cars almost Into the throng In
order to get aoroes the finish line, but the
other racers, who were far behind, were
unable to force their way through.
Vaaaerbllt Stope Rare.
Perceiving that the action of the crowd
would prevent a fair finish of the remain
ing two qualifiers, W. K. Vanderbilt. Jr.,
the donor of the cup, and the Judges or
dered the races stopped and held a meet
ing to select the other conteetante to qual.
Ify. Lyttie and Christie were choeen, be
cause they were in fourth and fifth posi
tions when the course was blocked. Lawell
was pressing Christie closely for the fifth
place.
Tracy's time for the entire course wss
Ave hours twenty-seven minutes and forty
five seconds, that of Leblon five hours fifty
one . minutes and , twenty-five seconds,
Harding's six hours twenty-seven minutes
and thlrty-ntne seconds. '
Notwithstanding that the course was re
garded as - mora dangerous than that over
which tbe cup race was run last year and
the drivers sent their powerful machines
over it at a speed at times as high as
ninety miles aa hour and on sharp curves,
only one of the racing cars was reported
to have been smashed and from that tbe
driver, Mongint, and his mechanician es
caped without serious injury. Twenty
miles from the starting line the car driven
by Moglnl burst a tire, and, turning out
of the road, crashed Into a telegraph pole
and was badly damaged. Moglnf was
thrown out, but landed 'safely.
There were numerous minor accidents to
the machines, chiefly damage to the tires,
so tbat the racers were trailed .out at long
Intel vale over the couree and many bad
not half oompleted the distance when the
winner finished.
Leaders Alternate.
Throughout the greater part of the race
the oonteet for first place lay between
Tracy, Leblon and Lytle. Lytle led the
others In elspsed time lor the first two
rounds Leblon then took the lead, but
alternated for the leadership In eaoh round
with Tracy until the tenth and last lap,
and Traoy clung to his lead.
Tracy scored the' swiftest record for the
lap of the day, covering the 28.11 miles In
tt minutes and ta seconds. This was In
the sixth lap.
Never wss there a more odd gathering
of spectators than that which thronged
at vantage points along the course to wit
ness the running of this race.
The start was scheduled for I a. m., but
the spectators began to gather even before
midnight. Before the sun rose almost the
entire couree presented an unique spectacle.
Clustered about the starting line was a
great park of automobiles and strung along
ths crooked course were many hundred
more.
Spectators la Camp.
Knowing that It would be hopeless to try
to secure sleeping quarters at any of the
little villages, the spectators formed In
groups along the roadside for miles, where
they found parking places, and many even
brought camping outfits to prepare break
fast. Their campnres and the glaring head
lights of their cars marked the course long
before daylight.
Hundreds passed the long hours In sleep
in tbelr cars. No circus ever Invited a
more motly gathering than those as
sembled In the villages along the Una.
The big grandstand on the south side of
the course midway between Jericho and
Hlneola was crowded when the call for the
first starter went up.
There were twelve starters and the first
was sent away nromptly at I a. m., with
Ernest Keeler driving it

ing. A meeting of the Judges was then called

NEW YORK, Sept. 2. Thousands of per
sons and hundreds of automobiles and
other vehicles gathered early today along
the course over which the preliminary auto
mobile race for the Vanderbilt cup. was
contested today. The raoe, called the elim
ination trial, was for cars of American
manufacture and was to determine which
of the cars should have the honor of com
peting for the cup over the same course
on October 1 The conditions for today's
race were:

length of race, ten times around course.

to compete In the Vanderbilt cup race, to be
run over me same course oetoner a.
Estimated time It will take, five hours.
Winner last year, Bert Dlngley. ,
Spectators and contestants wero astir
early, giving the staid old roads of Long
Island an appearance of life they seldom
assume. At Westbury, where the start
was made, the grand stsnd was crowded
to the limits of its capacity. Many per
sons prominent In society mingled In the
throng and It was noticeable that many
of the fair sex risked the denser of early
mists snd fogs to witness a race In a sport
that has so taken hold of popular Interest.
The course is said to be an exooedingly
dangerous one and there were fours of
accidents. There are nine sharp turns no
the course, as follows: Jericho, East Nor.
wleh, Bullahesd, Old Westbury, at s point
near Roslyn, Manhassett. Lakevllle, Sear
Ington and Mlneula. The turn at Old West
bury Is the roost dangerous. Its shape Is
Ilka a hairpin and It has been given the
nsme of "Hairpin Turn."
The arrangements made by the managers
of the Nassau hospital appeared more like
preparations for a battle between two ar
mies than provisions in connection with a
contest of speed and skill. Eight ambu
lances were sent earlv this morning to
various dsnger points along the course.
Sheriff Frederick Gllderslasvs bad made
equally elaborate preparations to prevent
Injury to spectators and to keep the puhllo
from encroaching on the course. Mors than
309 deputy sheriffs and flagmen had been
stationed along the roads ever which the
racers were t speed.
In drawing for the numbers for the
starters the so-called "unlucky thirteen"
was omitted.

Tedford Piles Answer.
SUte Binder Howard Tedford of . Mt.
Ayf today filed his answer In the district
court here to the suit of the labor union
people of this sity for an .Injunction re
straining the state officials from paying
him for the binding of the Official Register,
because of the work being done outside of
the state. In his answer Mr. Tedford al
leges that the courts have no Jurisdiction
and that the secretary of state, only,, hss
authority to pass on the work done and if
he finds It properly done to issue a warrant
for the payment. He explains that the
fact that the legislature required 26,000 ad
ditional copies this year necessitated tak
ing the work out of the state In order to
give the state proper service and a fur
ther reason was the fact that a strike In
this city Inaugurated by the people now
asking for an injunction was the principal
factor that Interfered with doing the work
here. Further he asserts a legal right to
take the work outside of the state becanse
the law, while requiring the state binder
to keep an office "equipped sufficient to do
the work," In this city, does not say thst
the work has to be done in it. , ' (

GYPSY BAND HAS TROUBLE
Party from Bervla Knocked from
Post to Pillar on French
Frontier.
PARIS, Sept. 22. (Specisl Cablegram .to
The Bee.) A psrty of gypsies continues
to have a queer time along the eastern
frontier. It Is being sent from pillar to
post, as no sooner does It turn up at one
place than it Is evicted, to try Its for
tune's elsewhere, with a like result. After
having been expelled from several French
towns, It was conducted by gendarmes to
the border, but the Germans did not rel
ish the society of the gypsies any more
than their neighbors had done, so they
found their way once more across the
frontier. The French officials, however,
were on ths watch, and when the luckless
wanderers appeared st another spot on
their territory, they wers packed off again,
only to be promptly driven back. At the
present moment quite a little army of
French and German troops Is keeping an
eye on the gypsies. Tbey are on French
soil, but a company of Chasseurs is posted
around them. One of their chiefs has
applied to the Servian minister here, as
they hall from his country, asking him
to get them all removed to the Italian
frontier, and the sequel to all this ls being
awaited with considerable Interest.
