First, last with his aeroplane in trying to fly from Lyons to Auburn, 23 miles, Harry N. At wood, the Boston aviator who is flying from St. Louis to New York, then wandered about the air for almost an hour late today and finally was forced by darkness to land five miles west of Syracuse. The delay caused a serious setback in the attempt which the aviator is making to break the world's record In cross country aeroplane flying. Aviator Loses Bearings. Atwood ascended at Lyons with ths purpose of flying in an alr-line 98 miles to Utlca before night. Just after he started, he decided to get from tha course which he has followed along ths tracks of the New York Central rail road and cut cross-country to give tha crowds at Auburn a view of him. Bua he lost his bearings and not wishing la land, he kept flying about, hoping to find Auburn. It was 4:24 P. M. when Atwood left Lyons. At 5:20 P. M. he suddenly ap peared over Auburn and landed there. Atwood Lost Second Time. Fearful of again being lost, Atwood did not venture away from Auburn un til 6:45 P. M., when he ascended, un certain as to his destination. Then be gan another exciting search for him, extending all the way from Auburn to Utlca. Ten thousand people at Utlca awaited) him at sundown. Syracuse also was kept anxious until, at 7:17, word cams that he had landed safely at Bella Island, Ave miles west of Syracuse. Experience Is Exciting. ''It was the most exciting experience in the air I ever had." said Atwood. From Syracuse Atwppd had but 23a miles to fly before finishing in New York City. Ha has been in the air every day since he started. The dally record, not Including today's, together with a number of stops between tha dally start and finish, is: St. Louis to Chicago, two stops. 28f miles. 5 hours and 43 minutes. Chicago to Elkhart. Ind., no stops, 101 miles, 2 hours and 16 minutes. Elkhart, Ind., to Toledo, O., one stop, 133 miles, 2 hours and 66 minutes. Toledo to Cleveland, two stops, 12? miles, 2 hours and 20 minutes. Cleveland to Swanvllle, Pa., no stop, 84 miles, 2 hours and 7 minutes. Swanvllle to Buffalo, one stop, 93 miles, 2 hours and 25 minutes. Buffalo to Lyons, N. Y no stop, 104 miles, 2 hours and 11 minutes. Long Flights Encouraged. One result of his fight, Atwood soys, will be to encourage long-dlstanco fly ing In place of aviation meets. "Aviation meets, as they are man aged now, will soon be a thing of the past," said Atwood. "They invite too many spactacular attempts, with fatal results. Flights to be developed along the line of practical results, must be confined to simple flying. It is mors credit to civilization that a man can fly across the continent than that ha can turn a flip-flop in the air." Atwood hopea to arrive in Albany tomorrow night. From there on Wednesday he thinks he will be able to fly to New York. MRS. E. VAN' FRIDAGH DEA'J Octogenarian Pioneer of City Dies at Lucretia Court.
