Clément-Bayard "Demoiselle"
Pilot: Edmond Audemars
Engine: 20 hp Clément-Bayard O-2
Audemars' licence was not granted in time, so he couldn't
participate in the official flights. Race number 1 was originally
intended for André Crochon's Farman, but he withdrew at a late
stage. (1)

The only photo of Kinet's machine that we know of - we would
welcome a photo of it in better condition! (2)

Farman
Pilot: Bertram Dickson
Engine: 50 hp Gnôme 7-cyl.
Dickson's machine, if it is the same, was quite different from at
the Tours meeting. It still has equal-span wings, but a short
fuselage and double rudders. (3)

Sommer
Pilot: Georges Legagneux
Engine: 50 hp Gnôme 7-cyl.

Pilot: Jacques Balsan

Balsan brought two Blériots to the meeting, according to the official

(should be Labor-Picker!) engine. (3)

Blériot XI
Pilot: Jacques Balsan

cockade. It is also visible in the background of the photo above. (3)

Blériot XI
Pilot: Émile Aubrun
Engine: 30 hp Clément-Bayard O-2
The meeting program states that Aubrun's machine had an Anzani
engine, but reports give it as a Clément-Bayard and photos clearly
show a radiator up front. (3)

Antoinette VII
Pilot: Walther de Mumm
Engine: 50 hp Antoinette V-8
De Mumm also brought two machines. This one features a metal
paddle-blade propeller and a forest of exhaust pipes and inlet
trumpets between the cylinder banks, characteristic features of the
Antoinette engine. (5)

The other machine was equipped with an ENV engine and a wooden
