In oniy two or thr songs was the pitch given the | group from a small instrument. In | most of the numbers there was no preliminary sounding of the pitch, but at a signal from the di or the entire group began to sing with clear- cut attack and unified ghading af tone. In the high notgs there was no attempt at velling or shrieking. At | all times the members of the chor kept their mouths onl lightly open. 1t the tones were unerringly placed forward and high..and there was no | ggestion of throatliness or tremolo. ach svice was distinct in. quality from every other voice, and one could listen with us keen enjoyment to the arious voices as to different in ments in ymphony _orchestra. | Fvery one was true to pitch and sang The first two groups sung includ- ed native songs of the Ukrainian steppesswhich ranged through all the moods of life in their motifs. Some were short and merry, with a lilt| that had mischief in it. others were somber and held the tragic poignancy i that is essentially Russfan. A fine | r_volce carried the solo part of | ‘Our Lady of Potchai which seem «d 1o be of the old ballad type, & sweet contralto sang the “Luliaby” of Barvinsky-Koshetr, wiih the human accompaniment of the other -voices that was almost uncanny at tlimes in 1mitation of stringed {nstru- ments.

Y., November 3—The fastest speed ever attained by man was made yesterday by, Lieut. H. J. Brow, Navy aviator, who flew over a three-kilometer straightaway course four times at an average speed of 259.15 miles an hour. On one leg of the course he traveled at the phenomenal rate of 265.21 miles an hour. Brow's record was attained in com- petition with Lieut. A. J, Williams, former pitcher on the New York Glants base ball club and winner of the Pulitzer race, both men fiying Navy Curtiss planes. Brow was sec- ond in the Pulitzer coptest. Brow went up first and set a pace of 257.42 miles an hour, and Willlams ! was soon in the air. intent on beat- ing that record.

Willlam N. Hensley, command- ing officer at Mitchel Field, who was in direct charge of the contests. “Pretty good, Brown,” said Will- he congratulated his com- | ut I'm, going to beat it to- Brow only smiled. Today's contest was viewed by offi- clals of the National Aeronautic As- sociation and Americau representa- tives of the International Aeronautic Federation.

They were required to fly {not higher than approximately 164 feet. Weather Ideal. The speed tests had been postponed several times because of unfavorable weather. The wind declined to about three miles an hour early this after- noon and there was a slight haze, thus cutting off the glaring sun, which has often bothered the aviators Brow's first trial, in which he flew at the rate of 257.42 miles an hour. was approximately 21 miles an hour faster for three kilometers than the speed of 236.587 miles an hour which Lieut. Russei L. Maughan of the Army air service made in an Army-Curtiss racer at Dayton, Ohio, on March 29 st. 1 atisticians figured out after the trials that on Brow's fastest leg his engine was turning over at the rate of 2,800 revolutions a minute.
