VESSEUS DIRECTED AT WILL Landing Is.Made at the Exact Spot Decided Upon at the St. Louis Exposition Police Unable to Hold Crowd at Trial's End. BT. LOUIS, Mo., Kov. 1. A second suc cessful flight of the Baldwin airship .-reus made at the "World's Fair today under the guidance of A. Knabenshue, who piloted the "California Arrow" over the -western portion of the Exposition . grounds and descended on the Stadium adjoining; the aerial course, amid the cheering Of thousands, after a flight of S3 xnlnues. Yesterday Knabenshue took the airship up to an altitude of 2000 feet, and, circling, descended In the aerial con course within 300 feet of his starting point. Today he went up to an, altitude of about 1600 feet, and, after directing the course of his aerial vessel at will, descended on the exact spot upon which be had decided to alight. Owing to- the Jarge crowd gathered within the con course enclosure. Inventor T. S. Baldwin, .of San Francisco, admonished Knaben shue at the start not to attempt to land in the concourse enclosure, but to choose -a spot without near by, where he would not be in danger of striking spectators. Knabenshue chose the Stadium inclosure, and came donw Just as he intended to do. Satisfied with the demonstrations of the airship over short courses during these two trials, Inventor Baldwin announced at the conclusion of the flight that Kna benshue will tomorrow undertake a 15 xnile flight over a designated course, the choice of the course to be leff to news paper men, and the flight to be made re gardless of the wind conditions. Floats Buoyantly and Obediently. A light breeze pf probably three miles an hour was blowing from the southwest when the "Arrow" was brought out of the aerodrome today.' The airship, with Kna benshue standing in the rigging, floated buoyantly and obediently after Baldwin, who held the anchor rope and made his way through, the crowd to a point where two supports had' been placed on which to rest the "Arrow." . Knabenshue was instructed by Mr. Baldwin to make a flight of half an hour, and to maneuver Jn the vicinity of the concourse, but in descending to land without the Inclosure. Illustrative of the nicety of balance of the airship, an incident occurred Just a moment before the start. Knabenshue had forgotten his wire pliers, and asked for them. Baldwin banded him the tool and told him to weight It in. In taking the pliers in one hand, Knabenshue scooped the other into a sandbag, and, getting about an equal weight of sand, threw the minute amount of ballast to the ground. 'Tm all ready. " Start the motor," he said. Baldwin gave the motor wheel a turn, and the little engine energetically began Its "chug-chug," revolving the pro-' peller fans. "Everybody let go," shouted Baldwin, and light as a bird the airship rose above the heads of the cheering spectators, gracefully cleared the high fence and pro ceeded due north, mounting higher and higher each instant. After reaching an altitude of about 300 feet, Knabenshue waved his cap to the spectators, and then swept his rudder to veer the "Arrow" to the south. Almost before the rudder had completed the turn the "Arrow" began to respond, slowly swinging around, until the prow pointed to the southwest against the wind. Then Knabenshue tilted the prow upward and began ascending. His course was directly across the concourse, and his movements were plainly dlscern able. He peered closely into the motor, which seemed suddenly to have died down, and began working at the control ling lever. Motor Gained Renewed Energy. After a moment, the motor seemed to gain renewed energy, and the propeller revolved with speed. The aeronaut then threw out some ballast sand, and stood toward the rear of the framework, tilt ing the prow upward at a greater angle. XJke a bird, the "Arrow" shot toward the zenith until an altitude of probably 1600 feet had been reached. Then Kna benshue headed directly for the south west, breasting the wind. Then he made a complete turn and came directly back over the concourse. Once more ho turned and proceeded to the southeast. Then the airship pointed toward the southwest and proceeded In a straight line for a mile until over the southern boundary of the Exposition grounds. The ship then went to the cast, turned again to the north, veered to the northwest and, at a good epeed, came back to the vicinity of the concourse. When almost above the concourse, the "Arrow" changed Its course again and proceeded directly east for half a mile, then made a turn and retraced until well over the stadium, when it swung to tho northwest and proceeded until It had passed almost a mile northwest of the Exposition grounds. A turn was made at that point within a radius of presumably 75 feet, and Knabenshue headed toward the east and "back over the concourse. Ho then performed a series of maneuvers, shooting off in the opposite direction, traversed a letter "S" course, dipped and came down several hundred feet, tilted the prow and ascended again to the orig inal altitude, and completed the series by turning the airship In such a short space that it seemed the vessel swung round on a pivot. Proceeding to the northwest until he had Teached about the point of his pre vious trip In that direction, he turned the -altxhlp sharply around and pulled the rope that releases the gas. Then he In clined the prow downward And slowly be gr.n his descent, all the time proceeding toward the Stadium to the southwest. "When above the Stadium, he was prob ably 600 fe?t high. This caused him to make a short circle, turning which the ship descended to within 100 feet of the ground. Knabenshue was then Immedi ately west of the Stadium, and, pointing the prow downward again, he tseadlly descended "until the framework was seized by the shouting spectators, who had hur ridb Jhread the Stadium indMure.
