Ely Gives Vp Flight.
None of the Curtlss machines as
cended sfter the breeze, which was
blowing IS miles an hour at 1 o'clock,
had. gained a velocity of 20 miles, a
few minutes later. Eugene Ely was
the only member of th Curtlaa team
who essayed night at all. When h
rose, the Judges announced he would
compete with liossey for the altitude
record.
After going up :00 feet he cam down
and took his biplane back to the han
gar. Parmalee. driver of the baby Wright,
also dared the wind and attained an
altitude of 625 feet.
He electrified the crowd by a series
of whllring dip, and then Walter
Brookins. originator of the spiral glide,
went up and furnished further thrills
by exhibitions of his favorite feat. At
thla time, the wind had attained Its
highest velocity. The aerometer In the
Judges' stand spun at a rat of 40 miles
an hour, but the Wright men went
through their daring performances ap
parently with aa much ease as on th
calmest day.

FIRB MARSHAL.
Th wind tore a sightseeing balloon
from Its cable. Anchor chains hastily
thrown out saved It from being blown
away. After breaking its cable, the
balloon Anally was driven upon on
of its anchors and was exploded. No
one waa hurt.
An accident Initiated the third day
of tho aviation meet this morning. J.
J. Blavln. a Ixs Angeles man, brought
out a new Curtlss type of machine of
his own construction, sailed a few feet
and fell. The biplane was wrecked,
but Slavln was unhurt.
"Jack" Cannon, another Los Angeles
amateur, made a series of short flights.
Latham Describes Accident.
While the wreck of his Antoinette
monoplane was being carried by a score
of men back to his hangar tonight.
Latham talked of the fall which might
easily have caused his death.
"When the gale started it held my
machine almost motionless on every
westerly reach. Then I decided to come
down and found I could not. There
was nothing for me to do but fly about
until a lull would permit me safely to
descend. I had been waiting for the
lull more than two hours, when my
fuel ran too low for the motor o act
properly, and when a gust struck me.
I lost control. The monoplane dashed
down 'under the hill and struck the
fence. I tumbled out. of course, but
was not hurt, and was examining the
wreck when my meehanieans appeared.
"They were excited, rauch more so
than the people who saw me fall. This
was so because they had been expect
ing an accident and all afternoon had
been , gesticulating to me to come
down,"
Samuel Perkins gave his first exhi
bition of his man-carrying kites. He
suspended a stool on the cable of the
kites, and drawing himself up with a
tackle observed the aeroplane maneu
vers from a height of about 250 feet
for two and a half hours.
GRAHAME-WHITE HAS TO QCIT
Injuries Compel Aviator to Forego
Flights for $20,000 Prize.
LONDON, Dec. 2. Acting on the In
structions - of his medical adviser,
Claude Grahams-White, who had a nar
row escape from serious Injury a week
ago, and whose aeroplane was burned
Sunday, has decided to forego further
attempts at flights across the English
Channel for distance In competing for
th Baron d Forest prise of 120.000.
Because It would Interfere with the
Christmas holidays of the men, the ad
miralty has refused Baron d Forest's
request to have torpedo boats accompany
aviators in their cross-channel flights for
his prise.
Only five days more for the competition
remain and two competitors are still in
the Held, Robert Loral ne, an actor, and
Captain F. B. Cody. 1 Is likely, how
ever, that young Sophwlth, who In a
night from Bheppy crossed th channel
and covered more than 170 miles, landing
In Belgium, will prov th winner.
It Is not unlikely that Grahame-White's
withdrawal from the contest was in' part
due to the refusal of the admiralty to
lend Its aid to the aviators.
There la still no news of Cecil Grace,
nephew of the late Mayor Grace, of New
York, who was lost last week In a re
turn flight across the channel from Ca
lais. How to cure a cold Is a question In
which many are Interested just now.
Chamberlain's Counh Remedy has won
Its great reputation and Immense sale

alwave be depended upon, i-'or sale by
