TWO AIR SHIPS THEY SUCCESSFULLY SAILED ABOUT IN THE BEAVEN3. Tbeir Manoeuvers Attracted Wide Spread Wonder Both Were ia the Air at the Same Time One Fouled Tele graph Lines. New York, Oct. i. Two airships, seem' ingly tractable as water craft, accomplish' ed yesterday the first flight of dirigible aero machines ia America. Dependent on their own mechanism the ships manoeuvered at the will of their helsmen. They rose, circled obedi ent to the rudders, set courses and held them, while thousand of people craned their necks to follow the sight. Accidents of minor importance to the general results prompted the aeronauts to bring their machines to earth. Their success had been demonstrated before descent was made necessary. Rival machines made the night. One was the Santos-Dumont ship No 6, which started from its aerodrome at Brighton Beach with Edward C. Boice in the frail appearing car of tough Cypress wood. After a flight in which more than two miles was probably traversed, the ships settled in a medow back of the Sheeps liead Bay race-track. It alighted as eas ily as a gull settles in the water, and Mr. Boice, his face beaming, stepped from the car'and grasped the hands ot friends. Leo Stevens sailed the other machine from Manhattan Beach toward the vil lage of Sheepshead Bay, swung easily on a westward course, until over Coney Isl and, when he turned back and eventual ly reached earth by way of a ladder rear ed against a telegraph pole in the wires of which his anchor rope had been en tangled. Stephens was as enthusiastic as his rival. The honor of first accomplishing a flight through air in America rests in the balance. Both ships were in the air at the same time, both were uninjured, and both guided their machines at will. It was a race for laurels, however. No crews of rival yachts ever worked harder for a sailing point than the employes a bout the aerodromes at Manhatten and Brighton Beaches when one saw that the other was shaping for a flight. As a matter of fact, neither ship had planned to make so important an expe riment. For that reason few people were on hand at the staiting place. Sightseers bad become sceptical. Mr. Boice ordered his ship brought out from the aerodrome at Brighton Beach. He wanted to show it to George S Aofield and Stephen Crute, who had accompani ed him to the beach in a big automobile with Mrs. Boice and her two children The big balloon had been inflated with hydrogen gas and all was in readiness. The machine swung out of the aero drome with the ease of a ship at launch ing. Two score men strained at the guy rope thrown over the balloon, which prevented the ship from rising until all was ready. Boice glanced at things with a critical eye, tried the valves of the gasoline en gine, gave the propeller a twirl, and test ed the basket if it was secure, as a jockey tests his saddle girths before mounting. Mr. Boice stepped into the car after mer rily pinching the cheek of one of his children, took out a cigarette and, after lighting it, tossed the match aside and with the same motion of his hand waved a signal for the men to release the guy rope. " It was all so sudden that his wife, his children and his friends scarcely realized his departure before the ship drew ' up ward. Straight over their heads it sailed, the drag-line paying out through the hands of the workmen. Boice was seen to flip his cigarette quickly over the side of the car. He explained later that it occasion ed him the only tremor experienced him during the trip. He had suddenly no ticed escaping gas, and the danger of an explosion and collapse of the balloon caused him to part with the cigaratte. To the length of the drag-line the ship mounted in air and the men below braced to maintain their hold. The shipj.oiaed for nearly two minutes. Then the watch ful foreman saw Boice signal. He inter preted the signal and glanced at Mrs. Boice and her children. "Let go!" he shouted to the men tugging f.t the drag line. The next instance the linewas out of reach. The little party knew what this meant. The workmen gave a mighty cheer. Mrs. Boice drew her children to ward her.. Schofield and Crute were dumb. - It was exactly 3:30 o'clock when Boice stepped into the car. Five minutes later he waa five hundred feet in air, connec tion with earth cast aside and free to prove the prowess of hts ship. Those be low could dimly make out his figure through the network of the car. "Would the ship fly?" That was the question in every one's mind. The propeller began slowly to turn like a windlass. Then it stopped. Again it started and the blades whipped the air, steadily increasing in their revolving motion until the propeller" became a blurr. So intent were the watchers be low that at first they did not realize the significance of having to turn their heads to observe the ship. From the moment the propeller attained rapid revolutions the ship slipped easily ahead. There was no mistaking the accom plishment. Almost before the spectators realized it the ship sailed away over the buildings, bound Coney Islandward. What little air was stirring was against the Santos-Dumont. Consequently it was no drifting exhibition. The favora ble weather conditions influenced large ly Boice and Stevens to make ascensions yesterday. Boice moved steadily, with little devi ation from a horizontal line, toward the Parkway Baths. High above those build ings he turned his ship in a complete ctr- cle. At the end of the loop be shaped his course northeast in the direction of Sheepshead. Sheepshead. Schofield and Crute ran to the autom obile and, calling to two of the workmen, jumped into the vehicle. The auto dashed along the beach road, in an effort- to get beneath the ship. When Boice made his turn at the Park way Baths the auto swung around into Ocean Boulevard, and followed the direc tion uf the air-ship, the auto was eased down, as the ship was not making more than five miles an hour. The distance to Sheepshead Bay village was traversed with the ship gliding smothly through Boice's craft had reached midway of this distance when Stevens's ship was seen to rise over the aerodrome at Manhattan Beach. It transpir ed that Stevens had planned an as cension, but did not contemplate a flight. No preparations for one had been made. His ship mounted to a height of 1,000 feet, when he sig nalled the men at the drag-line to let so. Throughout a territory covering many miles along Long Island peo ple savr the two ships manoeuver ing. In Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, Bay Eidge, Bath Beach and other Brooklyn suburbs the resi dents were all eye3 for the spectacle. At Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay people ran into the streets and hurried along in crowds to follow the ships. The ships were plainly seen by three thousand people at Gravesend racetrack. Glasses were turned from the horses to the air ships, and the holders called out to those near by all that could be made out. The sport of kings was for gotten for the time. Stevens's ship was probably 3,000 feet higher in the air than the Boice machine. He 'had begun his flight at 3:45 o'clock. A half turn was made at the start, to see that all was in working order, and then, with flashing propeller, the ship moved in the direction taken by the rival craft. VA rice, not a lone a flight of air-shipt!" thousands said, and excitement became in tense. Stevens took the straight course to Sheepshead Bay, as if he would head off his rival. By the time he had Reached the outskirts the Boice machine had settled and was lost to the view of the spectators behind the woods surrounding Sheepshead Bay race-track. Stevens then exe cuted a double circle with his ma chine and sailed back over an east erly course toward the Parkway Baths. He had reached the height of more than a mile, he said later, by the time be was above the build ing, and, as isoice had done, ne swung his machine full around, and then steered a course over Coney Island. So high in the air was that peo ple below saw only the outline of the balloon. Stevens and his car were lost to sight. He reached a point, as a plummet would fall, at West Eighth Btreet, between surf and Neptune avenues, when he was observed to turn and head back. The ship was seen to settle rapidly, but apparently at the will of the aeronaut. Approaching West First street it was not more than 4OO feet above ground. Supt. Finley, of the Man hattan Beach Company, with sev eral, had followed Stevens's course. He had dropped his anchor line when at a height of about l,ooo feet. This line caught in the overhead wires at West First street and Sheepshead Bay road. A moment later it formed a snort circuit with electric wires and was burned apart. Two score men grasp ed the roDe and tried .to control the airship. Meantime Stevens, pre vented from further flight by the accident, opened the escape valve in the balloon and the ship settled quickly but easily. The basket 01 trie snip was along side the cross-bars of the telegrgph pole and Stevens climbed out. Some linemen working near by brought a ladder and he descended to the ground. Stevens said that he had intended to sail back to Manhattan Beach, but that a plug which had to do with generating the' spark of of his gasoline engine dropped out, and he decided to alight for fear of an explosion. The ship was uninjured, and af ter being taken to the ground was packed over to th'e aerdrome at Manhatten Beach. .

Canine and Babe Are B3th Badly Scorched, but Will Recover Jumps Through Window With Child in Mouth Other Newa. Marysville, Oct. 5. The hero of the fire that raged along the bord er line between Yuba and Butte counties is a great Dane dog - that fought his way through " the fire flames, bearing in his jaws the liv ing body of three year old Florence Rogers. '. When the alarm of the great fire reached them the father of the child and his wife hastened down the road a mile to assist their neighbors in fighting the common foe. There home was in a recently made clear ing and with no thought that,, the wind mizht veer and change the course of the flames they- left little Florence playing ou the kitchen floor with her big brute chum, Bruno. j For nearly an hour Rogers and his wife, with hundreds of others, battled with the blazing timber and underbrbrush when of a sudden the wind shifted sharply and the flames fed on fresh fuel, swiftly bolted their red way along the hill side toward the Rogers home. "Florence!" shrieked Mrs. Rog ers; and as her husband and three neighbors started their mile run on that fire-walled roadway, j she swooned. The men kept to their race, but the flames lapped far a head of them. They reached the clearing to tind it surrounded by fire and the stable burning like a torch. . . "I must get to the house and the kitchen where she is!" cried Rog gers as he struggled with the com panions that held him from plung ing through the circle of fire that surrounded the clearing. He had just torn himself " free when there was a crash that sound ed above the crackle of the flames. Bruno burst (through the kitchen window with the child, ber gar ments knotted in his teeth. , The jump was deep ana ine Daoys clothes gave way as the dog landed. But in an instant he bad her a gain in. grip and answering to -the whistles and calls from without the circle was cuiting his way through the ecorching trees and brush. The childs's face and hands were painfully cut and burned, but she will soon recover. And Bruno's sleek coat was sadly disfigured, but his tail still sweeps courageously, and there is nothing ia this part of the country too good tor him. America's Famous Beauties.
