Most Serious Outbreak Yet. This is the most serious ouibreak that has occurred since the inception of the garment workers' strike. It occurred at the plant of A.

Seri New York, Nov. 2.—Only the word of Frank H. Platt, son of the late Thomas C.

Strike leaders expressed the hope to night that by tomorrow Mr. Platt would be won over on this programme. FIRE LOSS OF $300,000. P. and O. Steamship Dock at Key West Destroyed.

Bang!” went a_big black bomb and an audi- ence afterward estimated by Wilbur Wright as double the size of the one which heard the like sound at Belmaont park knew that the Baltimore avia- tion meet was officially open. As a_matter of fact. the spectators did_not pay bom. - dyeryone was absorbed in watching Charles F. Willard of Am- erica and James Radley of Kngland circling about overhead. The Opening bomb was three-quarters of an hour late in_going aloft. but Willard had taken his Curtiss biplane up before 1.30 p. m. He was shortly joined in the air above the course by Radley, who brought his Bleriot monoplane from the railrcad station at Hale- thrope, about a mile away, by the air route. His appearance was a surprise, and a most agreeable one, to the spec- tators. While the weather e in the day was Ideal, about the time for the of- ficial opening a slight fall of rain be- gan and the fivers would not take the air while it lasted. The temperature was very mild, but high above the earth the aviators declared it was in- tensely cold. One of the most interested specta- tors of the d was Cardinal Gibbons, who reached the grounis in an auto- mobile while the flights were in prog- ress. Gov. A. L. Crothers and his entire staff and Mayor J. B. Mahool of this city also watched the flying. Owing to the expressmen’s strike in ew York, the special train bearing the aeroplanes of most of the aviat- ors was late in arriving, and the trans- fer of the machines to the aviation field was delayed. Because of this de- lay and the consequent impossibility of a number of competitors entering the events. all the flights today were in the nature of exhibitions, Willard made five circults of the mile course in five minutes 32 secow: Drexel in an early try for altitude, made 2,000 feet. Later Willard in a similar attempt took his Curtiss biplane to a height of 4,500 feet. Drexel shortly after- ward, in his Bleriot, made & record for the day with 4,800 feet. All the aeroplanes reguiarly enter- ed are now here, as are all the aviat- tors and tomorrow the regular pro- gramme will be contested. - Besides Latham, De Lesseys, Drexel, Radl Willard, Ely, Harmon amd Curtiss, who are now on the ground, it:appears not unlikely tonight that several other famous flyers will put in an appear- ance before the end of the meet.
