HANDICAP RACE AMERICANS SECURE THIRD PLACE

Scarcely before Melbourne had finished its breakfast this morning, the Flying Dutchmen, Parmentier and Moll, roared over the city and circled gracefully down to Flemington racecourse for the honour of being second to reach the ter minus of the England-Melbourne air race. Yes- terday Scott and Campbell Black landed first after a 71-hour trip to annex the U.S.$50,000 prize and gold cup.

Their reception' was almost as great as that accorded the Bri- tisher flyers who arrived yesterday, and they were chaired across the paddock. Their magnificent flight, which challenged the Bri tishers all the way, has received speedy recognition from their Queen. On arrival they were appointed Knights of the Order of Orange Nassau. The Order was also conferred pn the wireless operator and the mechanic.

Only a few hours had elapsed since the arrival of the Dutch- men, when the indefatigable Americans, Colonel Roscoe Turner and Clyde' Pangborne, who had relentlessly chased the former from India, landed amid the cheers of the waiting thousands. I
