ching the race. One spectator was struck on the head and was taken to hospital with a fractured

skull.

Hamilton's car was wrecked by the impact. and there can be no doubt that he was killed instanta "neously. The bonnet and engine were completely crushed, and the front axle snapped in two.. Before It came to rest the car was Aung over against another tree. Ham- ton was apparently trying to in- crease speed at the bend.

"The car must have been tra- velling af nearly 100 miles an hour when the accident happened." the writer was told by one of the spectators..

* The driver was apparently trying to increase speed at, a riost dangerous part of the bend when the car skidded vió- lently and careered into the rees at the side of the road.

"It struck a tree with a resound ing crash, telescoping the whole front of the car against the trunk. The car then swung round, and the side on which the driver was sitting struck another tree."

Hqmyton was driving for the Whitney Straight team, which scored a success when R. J. Sea- man. is an M.G.. won the light car races over the same course.

The race in which Hamilton wes "killed was won by Hans von Stuck, the famous German driver, on an Auto-Union car. Another Auto- Union, driven by Momberger was second, and Dreyfus (Alfa-Romeo) was third. Earl Howe (Maserat!) did not complete the full distance.

HIS HAIRBREADTH ESCAPES Hamilton, who was to have driven in the Ulster TT. race next Saturday, had scored successes in big Continental races, and also had many hairbreadth escapes from death.

At Brooklands in May, 1932, his car struck a patch of water and spun round five times, tearing away B0ft of the grass verge.

He broke three ribs and suffered internal injuries eleven months ago, when he crashed on the Masaryk Ring at Brno Czechoslo vakia, during the international race. He was then first reported

killed.

In April of last year, along with Earl Howe. he helped to score a great triumph for British light cars when they Anished second in their class in the Italian 1,000-mile road rate. In the following month he Auished first at the international races at the Neurburg Eing in the 800 c.c. class.
