SENSATIONAL RACE.

Notable Fiat Victory."

The final race of fifty kilometres for the Grand Prix of Milan held at Monza, Italy, was the most thrilling event of the day, The rain had stopped, although the track was still very wet.. Aceori- ing to the programme, this should have been a handicap, but for the spectators it was an event for all the ears having qualified in the preliminaries and one in which they were kept keyed up to the highest pitch of excitement..

Benoist was qualided for this Anal, but, claiming that he was

and let us tell you

the carburetter selling for, the special Italian fuel was not quite right, he declined to come to the iine.

Bordine was on the front line. but the Fiat was not the first away, for Count Maggi shot off on the Bugauti with Campari, on an Alfa-Romeo, and Materassi, on a Bugatti, very close behind. At the end of a round Bordino had got in the lead, but the three others. Maggi, Camparí,

and Materassi, were so closely grouped that they might have been covered with a sheet.

Slowly, but surely, the 1500 cu. Fiat drew away from the 2,000 v.c. Bugattis and the Alfa-Romeo, but the Aght between the three fol- lowers was NO keen that one trembled for the safety of the drivers, Campari, Materassi, and Maggi are hot-blooded Italians who throw all thoughts of safely to the winds when the excitement of-n race is on them. At the end of three rounds Materassi, who was then running third, just be- hind Campari, drove his car to the pits, and abandoned, claiming that Campari on the Alfa-Romeo was fouling him. There was a most heated dispute, over this when the race finished, and argu- ment waxed wild for some time.

For the spectators the excite ment was supplied by. Cirio, one of the Bugatti drivers, who, on coming out of the Lend into the grandstand straight, shot across the track and appeared to have gone over the top of the banking. Subsequent events proved that he had carried away about thirty yards of palisading, and had stopping facing the wrong way. The driver was hurried to hospital, the latest reports stating that he was not seriously injured,

Bordino's display was magnifi- cent. He covered one round of the circuit in 3m. 51 4/5x. (96.49 m.ph. this being the fastest time of the day, and he corrected a skid, when coming off the short banked track, in a masterly man- ner. He covered the five rounds in 19m, 42 3/5s. (94.57 m.p.h.), and are followed by Campari on the 2000 e.c. Alfa-Romeo in 20m. 248. The others finished as follows:- Maggi (2,000 c.c. Bugatti), 21m. 22 2/0s.: Zampieri (1.100 C.C. Amilcar), 24m. 3s. Clerici (1.100 c.c. Salmson), 25m. 18 1/58.; Lip- man (1,100 c.4. Salmson), 27m. 11 4/5s.
