ALTITUDE RECORD ASCENDS 7,105 FEET, THEREBY ESTABLISHING MARK FOR THIS COUNTRY. G00D DAY AT BELMONT PARK Brookins Shoots Up 4,822 Feet—Ten Aviators Make the Air Hum at International Meet. New York, Oct. 25.—The third day of the internat€onal aviation meet at Bel- mont park, Long Island, made up for all the damp, cold and disappointment of the first two days. A new American record for altitude was set down to the credit of J. Armstrong Drexel an® the competition in the other events was at all times a thing of delight, full of zest, action and beauty. The air fairly hummed with the buzz of the dipping, dancing craft and their [n- cessant evolutions were so swift and so intricate that the spectators could not follow them and even the official scored lagged behind. Drexel soared for altitude in his rec- ord flight at just 3:40 p. m., five min- utes before the second hourly altitude contest closed. In great, lazy circles he crept into the wind, pointing high- er and higher to a height of 7,105 feet. Beneath him three busy biplanes were scuttering the track like so many spar- rows in a panic racing for places in the grand speed event. Made Close Estimate. His descent was swift, but unhur- ried and he landed lightly in the mid dle of the field. There was immediate surmise that he had approached if he liad not established a new record, but no figures were available until his bar- ograph had been unsealed and the reading of the stylograph on the plot- ted sheet inside it examined. Drexel had made, however, what proved to be a remarkable clos estimate of what he had done. “I’ve been up more than 7,000 feet,” he said, “and let me tell you it was cold.” The barograph is an aneroid barom- eter to which has been attached a re- volving drum of plotted paper driven by clockwork, with a recording stylus attached. The instrument shows beth the height and the time at which it was made. Drexel’s reading was re- markably sharp and showed clearly that he had risen 7,105 feet. The best previous American record was 6,175 feet, made by Walter Brookins at At- lantic City; and Drexel’s own best rec- j ord, made last summer in Great Brit- in, was 6,750 feet, at the time the world’s record. The world’s altitude record 1s 9,168 feet, held by Henry. Wynmalen, a Hollander. Brookins went up 4,822 feet and won second altitude honors for the day. At the apex of his climb, his engine, which had given him some trouble be- fore, stopped dead, with both the pro- pellors pointing straight up in the air, so that in gliding to earth with no pow- er on, they afforded. him the least re- sistance in breaking the rush of his de scent. He came down whizzing, about | a mile and a half off the course, and forward landing skid. Next to the performance of Drexel the crowd took most enjoyment in the appearance of models never seen in America before. The debutantes of the air courtsied to the grand stand before crossing the starting lines and waltzed off on their first round of the course. Some Novel Fliers. They were the new Wright climber, used by “Brookins in his alt®ude flights, a tiny Demoiselle, called the ilu: ming-Bird aeroplane, but it looks more iike a butterfly; and a flying fish, Antoineite.

In two speeches, one in Manhattan and the other in Brook- lyn, he accused John A. Dix, the Dem-| acratic candidate for governor, of be ing one of the directors in a company which aided in forming ‘‘a complete scheme to accomplish the stifling of commerce”—a trust against which he quoted the strictures of a judge, now a justice of the United States supreme court—and contrasted his business record of Henry L. Stimson, the Re- publican candidate for governor, From the same platform, Bourke Cock- ran, formerly a Democratic congress- man, announced that he will this fall vote the Republican ticket. “I ask you to compare ‘Harry’ Stim- son, whom we hope yeu will judge as governor by his record as district at- terney,” ihe colonel said, “and Mr, Dix, of whom his friends have to say that as a public man he, of course, will do t).e airect opposite to what he dia as a private business man. His pres- ent backers announce that ‘they are against trusts. Well, Mr. Dix is now directer of the Standard Wall Paper conipany. “Tf you will turn to the opinion of the court in the case of the Continen- tal Wall Paper company vs. Voight, reported in the federal reporter, 148, page 939, you will find the court recora says that the National Wall Paper company, 2 corporation owning or con- tre1ing a iarge number of wall piper factories, combined or conspired to- gether with them for the purpose cf controlling the wall paper production in this countrv by suppressing compe tition among themselves. “Yhe Star d Wall Paper comp3.y was cne of parties to that ag‘ec- ment.
