L VOL. LIL—NO. 127 ~ FLIES FROM ALBANY TO NEW YORK| Cabied N - Aviator Followed the Winding Course of the Hudson River the Entire Distance N CURTISS WINS THE $10,000 PRIZE Offered by the New York World—Distance of 137 Miles Covered in Two and One-Half Hours—Aeroplane Shows Signs of Rebellion but Once—Came to Earth Easily and Lightly as a Pigeon. New York, May Glenn H. Cur- tiss flew from Albany to New York city in aeroplane today, winning_the $10.000 prize offered by the New York World. He covered the distance of 137 miles In two hours and thirty-two minutes and came to eapth as easily and as lightly as a pigeon. Eclipses Anything Man Has Attempted His _average speed for the distance —54.06 miles an hour—surpasses any record ever made by an aeroplane in long-distance flight and in its entirety his feat perhaps eclipses anything man has attempted in a heavier-than-air machine. Early Morning Start. Albany was quitted at 7.03 o'clock this morning under weather conditions as near perfect as the most fastidious eviator could demand. One hour and twenty-three minutes later he had reached his stopping place near Pough- iceepsie, where thers was en hour's in- termission. Resuming his flight at 9.26, he sped southward and landed within the boundary of Manhattan Is- land at 10.35. Only one hundred yards morth of the point on which his craft settled stretched Spuyten Duyvel <creek, separating Manhattan Isiand from the mainiand. Had he failed o cross this, his flight would have been in vain, but as he swept over it, the prize was his. Thence to Governors island his task was but 2 whim of tri- umph and the concluding lap of a race already won. The Flight. Paulhan's flight from Loadon to Manchester, 156 miles, exceeded Cur- tiss' feat of today In distance, but mot in speed and danger. The French- man’s average speed was| only 443 ulles an hour and below him lay Eng- | Curtiss followed the | sb meadowland. inding course of the historic Hud- son, with jutting headland, woodeq ®iopes and ireacherous palisades. He swung_ high over the great bridge at Foughkeepsie, dipped at times within 80 feetof the rivers broad surfaceand jockeyed like a falcon at the turns. Iy once did his craft show signs of redellion. This was off Storm King, wear West Point, where at a height of pearly 1,000 feet, a treacherous gust struck his planes. The machine drop- ped like & rock for forty feet and tilt- ed perflously. But Curtiss, always cesl, kept both his head and his heart, snd by adroit handling of his levers, ®rought renewed equilibrium to his zerial street. Remarkable Scene at the Start. Surtiss was up before dawn today favorable weather. Without eyes and brain eleared of the oob- Swebs of sieep he went with his me- chanie and a handful of spectitors to Yen Rennsselaer island in_the Hud- mon, three miles south of Albany, whence he was to start. Waiting &t _the river brink was a @pecial New York Central train for ira. Curtiss and her party, who had Tot accompanied the aviator to the is- jand. From the train they could not sce the actual start but those on the land witnessed a remarkable scene. Curtiss arose from the ground like rocket, Thers were no preliminary was no trial Tiight. The seropiane ran hurriedly over the surface of the island and started straight for its goal to the eouthward_turning only for a moment o the westward 8o that Curtiss might comply with the terms of the compe- titions under which he was fiying and echnically cross the Albany city line. Straight Up Soared the Macl p soared the aeroplane in- nce. When it reached a it estimated at 500 feet, it seem- or a moment to hold a level pace @nd| then to rise again to further lev- s.| Perbaps 700 feet woul be a con- e ive estimate. Certainly Curtiss was fiving at a height which he had never Ettempted before in his life. In three minutes he was a minute speck in the diseance, in seven minutes he vanished from sight. The whole per- formance ¥as over in a twinkling, Let Go!” Whes the racer was wheeled from Geneath her camvas coverings shorily Before 7 oclock the sky was blue and clear and what little wind was stirring Liew irom the north—a direction fa- Foradie to Curtiss—at a speed of per- four miles an hour. gasoline tank was inspected and the sparking apparatus was given a E:‘ test. Two assistants held the a manoeuvrings—there ip in leash, while a third cranked ngine. There was a roar of the $xhavst; the two bla of the fan, #@nsular and lean, makically merged mto a blurred gray rose; the muscles of the assistants on each side tautened B8 the racer tugged against them: the Bair of the assistant at the rear stood out straight from his head in the gale from the fan. “Let go!” cried the pi- ¢, and she was of. Over the level runway the aeroplane Bustied on wheels, like a _partridge ning to get its wings, and, like the ting wings of a partridge, was the ou - exhaust from the pulsating engine.

With the sighal that Curtiss was off, the special train, five cars and a lo- comotive. cumbersome now by com- gurcon gathered impetus and sought o follow. But so quickly had he flown tha: for twenty-one miles southward the l~comotive, though running nearly @ mile to the minute, remained a lag- 5 however, the train came the aeroplane &nd thence those on board kept or in sight.

For six miles the aeroplane drew attention to his coming and cheers arose from shore and boat. At §.06, sixty-three minutes from the start, he soared past Rhine- Cliff Ferry, 54 miles from Albany. Here there is a turn in the river, and Cur- tiss turned again to the west, pass ing overland to shorten his course. [ Staatsburg marked the sixtieth mile point and he had covered this dis- tance in 69 minutes. 74 Miles in 83 Minutes. - With Staatsburg behind, the giant bridge spanning the river at Pough- keepsie loomed ahead. The bridge it~ self is 212 feet high, but Curtiss top= ped it by 300. Thenge he turned up- ward and with'the precision of a bird settied softly in the field three miles south of Poughkeepsic at 8.26. He had | flown seventy-four miles from Albany | in 83 minutes. The Landing at Poughkeepsie. The landing place, known as the Gill meadows, had previously been select- ed, but because of last week's post- ponement Curtiss was not _expected this morning, so there was no gasoline | and oil awaiting him. Fortunately two automobile tourists happened by and were eager to sup- ply him with the needed fuel and oil. His tanks had been filled with ten gal- | lons of zasoline beforg he left Albany. | Examination showed that three gai- | lons remained, enough to have carried | him to West Point. But Curtiss, was taking no chances, and the timely ar- rival of the autoists with supplies sav- ed the day. Poughkeepsie Fire Alarm Bells Rung. Fire slarm bells were rung as the aviator neared Poughkeepsie, but his | progress was so rapid that but few people had a chance to reach a point of vantage. On the Gill meadows a little group sightcd him coming in ths distance and sent up a cheer. From above he saw them as black specks, and was thus guided to his landing place. Coming down gracefully, his machine struck a grassy knoll, trun- | dled along for thirty or forty feet, then came to = stop. The special train meanwhile brought his wife, who rushed from her car, climbed vallantly over the hills from the railrosa track and hurried to her husband’s side. She greeted him jubil- antly while the crowd cheered again. The Final Dash to New York. With tanks refilled and every wire ang screw tested, Curtiss took his seat for the finel dasi to New York. The biplane ran along the meadows for about 300 feet, then shot from the grouna with its nose pointed toward the river. In a moment more the craft was again over the Hudson, and Cur- tiss turned south and was soon lost to view. Exactly one hour had been‘con- sumed at Poughkeepsie, for he arrived at 8.26 and departed at 9.26. Sensational Incident. He passeq the United States military academy at West Point at 10.02. Offi- cers and cadets alike looked upward and sent up a cheer after Curtiss, but there was no salute of guns. At Storm King the most sensational incident of the trip occurred. He was flying high at this point—a. thousand feet he esti- mates—when a shifty wind caused the machine to drop and tilt. Never once losing control, however, he soared on, passing in turn_Peekskill, Ossining and Dobbs Ferry. Yonkers was reached at 10.30, and he was flving about level with the Pallsades, 200 to 400 feet up. Here he got his first_glimpse of the Metropolitan tower. It loomed ¥ar ahead, like a giant needie, and Curtiss knew 'that he was nearing the upper limits of New York eity. Watched by Thousands in Upper New - York. Out of the haze that lay In the bend of the river at Yonkers he shot into he view of the thousands who were @waiting his coming along the upper reaches of Riverside Drive and on the Toofs of the big apartment houses on Dashington Heights, New York city. A mere speck at first, the little areo- | plane looked not uniike a gull floating with rigid wings on the breast of a gale. The motor was chugging sturd- iy ana sending the craft along toward its goal at a fifty miles an hour clip. Rounding the big jutting nose of Al- pine. on the New Jersey shore opposite Yonkers, Curtiss drove his machine across the river toward the east sido of the stream and closely hugged the | New York shore. The crowds along tho {shore cheered and waved hats and | handkerchiefs, and the sharp, shiill | screeches of the whistles of the small pleasure boats jolned with the more Sonorous ones of the larger craft in giving a hearty if barmonious wel- come. On passing Riverdale, fiving straight | as an arrow and as swiftly, came the | aeroplane. Tt was abreast of New York city and only a few miles from the up- per end of Manhattan Island. Barring some unlooked for accldent, it seemed certain now that Curtiss wonld win the $10,000 prize. Spectators Wrere Nonplussed. Suddenly, when Curtiss had reached a point midway between Spuyten Duy- vil creeek and Washington Point, the speeq of the biplane slackened percep- tibly and the machine dropped until it seemed that it would almost touch. the water. Then it came about prettily, pointing upward, and headed up the river. The spectators were nonpluse- sd. Many of them belleved that the machinery had gone wrong and that Curtiss had lost his race. Landed at Upper End of Manhattan. ut Curtiss, had they known, was as codl and collected as he had been at any stage of his flight, and he waved his hand_assuringly. ~While passing Spuyten Duyvil he haa seen half a mile inland a broad _expanse of green. sward, the upper end of Manhattan Is- _Paragraphs London, May 29.—Commander Rob- ert B Peary was the guest of honor tonight at a dinner at the Savage club.
