Moisant, who was popularly acclaimed the winner when it became known that his was the fastest time made by any of the three contestants.Mr. Moisant was disqualified by the Federation Aeronautlque Internationale for having failed to accomplish a continuous flight of one hour’s duration prior to his entry in the Statue of Liberty flight. Mr. White was disqualified because a wing t^p of his Bl£riot monoplane fouled pylon No. 5 as he was settling to the ground on the return from his flight. Count de Lesseps Is accredited the winner, therefore, although the elapsed time of his flight was longer, than that of either Mr. Moisant or Mr. White.The controversy has been one which threatened to disrupt the friendly relations between the local aero governing body and the Federation Internationale. It has aroused more Interest in aviation circles than any previous Incident of aviation tournaments, and despite the acceptance by the Aero Club of America of the ruling of the international body there remain many aeronauts and folk interested in aeronautics who believe the prize should have gone to John B. Moisant.That a controversy arose at all over the awarding of the prize was due to the conditions under which the race was flown. It is because they feel that these conditions have not been appreciated by the international body that many aeronauts express dissatisfaction with the verdictwhich gives the prize to Count de Lesseps.One condition of the race was that each contestant qualify by making a preliminary flight of at least one hour's duration. Claude Grahame-White and Count de Lesseps made such qualifying flights.

Others, unprepared to fly at that time, found the days slipping by without an opportunity to qualify. Tho day for the statue flight came and went with no attempt on the part of any one to compete for the $10,000 prize, so inclement was the weather. Although the postponement of the event had not been provided for m the conditions governing it, it was agreed, nevertheless, to permit a contest for the prizo at more favorable day, and at the same time it was understood generally that the clause requiring an hour’s sustained flight would be waived in view of the continuedbad weather.It was under these conditions that tho race was flown and tjn by John B. Moisant, who started last and w’hose reappearance after all hope of a victory by him had been abandoned drove the crowd into a frenzy of excitement. With the understanding that the sustained flight requirement had been waived, the judges of the meet at Belmont Park awarded the prize to Moisant. He was accepted everywhere as the pinner, and had been acclaimed as such when Grahame-White entered a protest with the Aero Club of America. Previously Mr. White had demanded another chance to make better time around the Statue, and had proposed that Doth he and Moisant make the trial again, he in his 100 horse power Bl£riot, Moisant in the BUriot of only fifty horse power, in which he never even had sat_ until he started on theis their ow£ business, allowed to ao so.’’CAMBRIDGE DlParty Wins MayoraftIn the HistoryiCAMBRIDGE.

The Aero Club referred his claims to the international body. Moisant said not a word. Up to the time of his death on Dec. 31, when he was crushed at New Orleans, he left his Interests in the hands of the Aero Club, confident that the tacit waiving of the sustained flight clause would be made clear to the international body. That the Federation Aeronautlque Internationale has ignored this detail of the flights was declared by Moisant’s friends last night to be a keen disappointment to them.“ There Is just one source of satisfaction In tho whole affair,” declared an amateur aeuonaut last night. “ Grahame-White, whose proposals immediately after theflight were considered unsportsmanlike, to say the least, will not receive the prize.
