INTER- CHICAGO TO NEWYORK FLIGHT Lone Entrant Forced to Descend After Making Eleven Miles—Wiil Make a Fresh Start This Morning. Chicago, Oct. 9.—Eugene Ely, lone entrant in the Chicago-New York aer- oplane flight, started on the test this afternoon and remained im the air only twelve minutes. At that-he trav- eled eleven miles and landed where a fresh start will be easy tomorrow morning. Struck Rock, Tearing Away Wheel. The young aviator descended be- i cause of a clogged carburetor. Repair- ing this was a matter of a few mos ments, but in the rapidly gathering dusk, in trying to start again he ran the machine into a rock and the front running wheel was torn away. A new wheel was brought up and the force of mechanics began work, while Ely went to Ga to spend the night in a special car. Another Start This Morning. “It must have made you crazy to be stopped by so simple a thing,” sug- gested a reporter. “To an aviator such mishaps are anticipated; they are not even annoy- ing.,” replied Ely. “I'll start afresh ix o'clock tomorrow morning, and if the wind is like it was today I'll not stop of my own will until I reach South Bend, Ind, and not iong at that place.” Ow smart crowd wind and a norih wind, only a smail gathered at the Hawthorne race to see the beginning of the trial notwithstanding the original of eight entrants dwindled to the most ambitious flight attempted in the United States, realized by the spectator themselves hoarse. when oston Racer,” as the biplane called, made a short circuit, like a homing pigeon . finding its direction, and shot away to the southeast. ‘Within four minutes the man-bird was beyond the vision of the crowd. Willard and Curtiss made technical starts by flying over the race courge fence, but, as previously announced. it W not their intention to make a race of it. Their machines were quickly taken apart and shipped to Gary, Ind., to be ready to supply any parts which Ely might need. It was from one of these machines-that the spare running wheel needed h{ the “Bpston Racer” was secured. All Ready for the Start. Two hours before the star tiss, Willard;” MecCurdy, Ely, and “a number of mechanics went over the biplane with the most careful scru- tiny. The propeller developed a “thrust” of 320 pounds.” worn wires were replaced. and nuts and screws were tightened. To make assurance doubly sure. Curtiss made a trial flight of a few moments, and upon alight- ing pronounced the machine ready for the start. There were twenty gallons of gasoline in the tank to feed the 60- horsepower eight-cylinder engine, and lubricating oil in proportion—enough 1o have carried the flyer 150#miles. ng to chilly field one, is s yet Th R who cheered the Cur- Eleven Miles in Twelve Minutes.

The latter indicated pre- ely 4.11 o'clock when ‘the propelier began wairling. In nine seconds the aviator had left the earth, and after a short turn set his course in the di- ection of South Bend. A snappy wind was on his quarter. almost at his back. That it was a accelerator of his speed was shown by the fact that in the twelve minutcs he was in flight he covered eieven miles. 125,000 Disapoointed ectators. A tolephone message from Laporte, Ind., said that a sons awaited the and another from South Pend sa that 75090 were awaiting his arriva: at that place, where he had expected to _spend the night. Press despatehes telling of the de- scent obliged the disappointed throngs to -hold their interest in check until tomorrow. Traveled Like an Express Train. As Ely related his experiences aft- he had been in the air about ten minutes., and was going like an express train, whgn the engine he- gan missing.
