After describing the assembling of the. crowds and how finally the racers were seen coming from the top of a hill, he continues: "As the cars fell there Is no other word for it down the steep slopes and approached the narrow bridge, jumped with a bouitd across and flew with' a scream up the rise beyond, you could see by the twitch of the wheels, not half of which was caused bytbe road, how agonizing was the stram on the driver, forced to' make his way through the endless uncontrolled crowds which littered the roads from Paris to Bordeaux. "Much as one may esteem the broad-minded views of the French Government in encouraging the motor industry, the government neglect to protect the course was criminal and nothing else. Though on the stretch of 8 kilos, between Chartres and the first village there were from 500 to 1000 people and from 500 to 1000 car measures for providing for the safety of the. public were either non-existent or of a ridiculous character." Mr.

Pennell then describes the scene at the headquarters at Chartres and the appearance and often hysterical de meanor of those who were out of the race, and says: 1 "Further up the street was another car with a huge gash in the tire of one wheel and the other tire down, the whole twisted and bent. In the hands of a dozen workmen. Walking away therefrom was a being with part of a cap over one ear and part of a pair of goggles over the other, plastered with mud and oil, in the rags and tatters of what had once been a suit of clothes. It opened its mouth and said in a voice choked with tears and in the American language: "I don't mind breaking down agfl-in, but it makes me so very angry. "It was Mr.
