Sopwlth again was his nearest rival, tho hnghehman flying seven seconds slower than his American competitor, rtlflciu bird ha vo driven the seagulls front tho waterfront. Thirty-eight air pilots urn competing. o'clock a gtm boomed on thn iAe shore after a salute of ten shots had neen fired und the aeroplanes poised at i lie north end of the field made ready to Mko wing in tho first event, a speod contest for monoplanes. A multitude In tho nerodronio on Michigan boulevard, on roofs and in windows viewed tho spectacle. I'ho first event was marred by two Kcne Simon, one of tho crack riders of the Molesant team, was preparing to rlimb into his seat as the first man off when Frank Coffyn In a Wright machine carrying two passengers came skimming along.

Coftyn's motor clogged, and as his machino glided down it collided with Simon's monoplane and tore ono of the 'leetleltko wings. A minute before Vrtlmr Stone In a Queen machine carrying Fritz Koman as a passenger fi.nl met with an accident. Stone was rounding tho aerodromo at the north end if the course, banking rather Btiffly, when a gust of wind caught tho curved surface of the wings. The machine slid sldewise down the air current and turned a somersault, 'the pilot and his passenger were thrown out. but as they were flying only ten or fifteen feet nbovo the ground they wero not injured.

The accidents wero observed by only few of tlte spectators, for all were turned heavenward in the direction of en biplanes that wero soaring at the name time. Too many wero in flight for the spectators to take in all at the same time. Tho cutting of gigantic figure eight, the swooping aloft in great spiral curves and other feats that are the joy of the air pilot and the seagull were familiar i i the spectators, but tho flying of ten nr fifteen machines at a time, until every cloud was decorated by a biplane or a monoplane, kept the spectators nrenthless. At 4:43 o'clock, one hour late, the monoplane speed event was started. Karl l.

ivington. his engines spitting and droning, swept down from the hangars toward the judges' stand in his Blriot. He was followed by Tom Sopwith in the Dragon I'lv. The two single plane beetles circled tho leld, banking sharply at the turns and rounding the pylons at angles that seemed terrifying to the spectators. Fifteen laps around the aerodrome completed the twenty mile race.

Ovington won In the tiin of 13 minutes seconds. While the monoplane artists were racing for mimhm! a few extra thrills were supplied 'v Lincoln Heachey, the young American who recently flow over Niagara Falls, lyider the Suspension Bridge and over rapids. Ho flew around the course four or five feet ubove the ground. He circled the pylons at angles that almost dctled the "laws of Gravitation. He along the far edge of tho waterfront so low that the body of his Curtiss tnnchlno was hidden from tho spectators hv the low bank.

"While these thrillers wore keeping tho nyi-s of the spectators busy white dot appeared away over tho lake. Field glasses failed to show it number. As it approachod it proved to be a Wright flyer 'thich had risen above the clouds unnoticed hail sailed "out to soa," looking for an altitude record and an endurance pri7.e. Tim tinv speck hovered about the mdgos stand, but it was so high that tho timers coutri not discern us numner. a hort time later it was joined by another W'rteht machine, which apparently came nit of tho sun.

It had flown away over to i he west. Tho miir descended a few thousand feet i oming down in great epirals four or flvo miles in diameter. They floated away over the lake, but for an hour or in remained at a height that kopt their numbers invisible. At length tho ludges discovered that ono of tho cloudenasers was Walter Ilrookins, who had taken two barographs and had sailed forth to cap turn an altitude nrize. Tim other was Hrindloy also of the right squad.

Ho learned that ho had been at a food store with the propeller and hud given an uc-ciunt of a flight. Ho said he had at-''mpted to fly for a pilot's license and had taken a tumble 250 feet from the ground, and that tho propeller was the only tiling saved from the wreck. fhn story gained credence and was pilnted in two or three of tho afternoon pa puis. Tho officer went to tho homo of Weinberg and he was out. Sylvester waited about three hours, when Weinberg loomed up with tho propeller.

Sylvester viid ho had no difficulty in securing issesslon of the propeller. Weinberg insisted that ho was an aviator and said that lie had made as many as eight flights and had been in tho hospital r.tveral times as a result.

Ineendliry Caught In lloiton Itlamrs the Man Who I. Now on Hall.

Frank Oostrciker, who was brought from Boston yesterday by the North Bergon, police to faco a charge of setting flro to the factory of tho American Trimming Company on Kowland place, New Durham, on July 24, has made a confession in which he implicates Christopher Fischer, tho president and principal owner of tho concern. In tho confession, which was made to thn police officers on the train, he says that ho went to work as cleaner in the factory about July 1 and that a few days thereafter Fischer proposed to him that ho set fire to thn building, promising him a handsomo reward. Oestruiker demurred, he says, principally on account of the danger to the lives of Herman Kity, the watchman, and his wife, who lived on tho upper floor. Fischer told him, he says, that the lire would cause some appliance to fall from the ceiling of the factory and that as tho noise would awaken overy one in tho vicinity there would bo no danger on that score. Ho finally consented, ho says, and it was arranged to do thn job at 1 A.

M. on July 24. At midnight he went to the factory and getting some cans of gasolene and kerosene from tho office, where he said they had been left by Fischer, he distributed them around the place and connected them with fuses. Then ho touched off the fuse and left for New York. He kept In communication with Fischer, he says, and a fow days later the latter gave him $18 and told him to get out of New York.

Tho fire was discovered by some workmen who wero passing the building and was put out, before much damage had been dono. Tho appearance of the place I. ft no doubt in tho minds of tho police that the blaze was of incendiary origin, and as it was known that thn concern had not beeu paying and that thn factory had been insured for Slu.ouo suspicion was directed to Fischer. Thn owner was arrested at his home at Itidgeflcld Park the following day but was later released on II. uuo bail.

After Fischer's release tho police learned that Oestreiker had been to the Hudson street hospital in Now York to have some burns on his hand dreesed. This set them on his trail nnd they succeeded in locating him at 1275 Columbia avenue, Boston. C'apt.

STOVER AXB Oh' BABIES. PAGEAXT tt't the Southern Half of Colonial Park Near the Polo round, and Include, a Pohllc Playground bnprri.lve If Somewhat Strange Ceremonial. The southern half of Colonial Park and the publlo playground therein were opened yesterday afternoon by the Park Department. There wero symbollo exercises, orators, a band. Commissioner Stover, two or three thousand sohool children, and a million babies more or less with mothers or big sisters, and the moving picture men.

Some misguided persons concluded that the show had been got up to please the moving picture men, for the programme was halted wearily at each feature to give them time to get their cameras in action. Colonial Park is part of the bluff that overlooks the Polo Grounds on the west. From 155th street, Just south of the Polo Grounds, It runs southward between Hradhurst and Edgecombe avenues to 145th street. Its area Is twelve acres, ono acre of which is now playground. Thn rest is mostly parched grass, with a few old dying trees.

Young trees are to lie set out shortly. Midway of the narrow park is a terraced outcrop of rocks, covered yesterday with barelegged urchins. At the base of the rocks a stand had been knocked together, and them the band played, and Mr. Stover sat enthroned behind the table with tho pitcher of water, hl yellow mustache spread out in a beamish smile, Back of him were a lot of other folks. An open space like an amphitheatre had been cleared in front of the stand.

Policemen kept it clear. The marches and dances took place in it under camera fire. It was walled in with young Americans, two tiers of babies in front of the older children, and a few grownup liehlnd them. This was the audience at which the orators orated, especially State Senator Josiah T. Newcomb.

Too many of those who think of government think of it merely as a restraint," ho thundered at the circle of babies. Mr. Stover said the improvement of the park and the making of the playground had cost $2,000,000. Let the babies repay by growing up better citizens because of It. Children wero the city's most valuable property, and the dwellers in apartments who wanted the children kept out of the city's parks were all kinds of dreadful things.

Some music, please, Mr. Bandmaster. After the parade of States John Jerome Rooney spent flvo minutes In heartily concurring with the Commissioner. Ho had observed that many of the apartment people didn't want children even in the apartments. None of that kind for Mr.

Ilooney. He alluded to a wicked crew which was opposing the Park Commissioner. Alderman John A. Holies and Reginald Pelham Bolton also spoke. The parade of States was directed by William Lee, supervisor of recreation, assisted by two young women.

The States of the Union had been divided into ten geographical sections, and each was represented by a brigade of children in costume. Kach brigade had been recruited In ono of the city's largest playgrounds. The New England States were little girls In Priscllla drnssos. The Pacific Coast States wore red scarfs and sombreros. The Gulf States were burnt corked, had wool pinned to their hair and carried a watermelon.

When it came time for their tableau the liand played "Old Folks at Home." and the watermelon in pieces went tho way of it kind, taking with it most of the Gulf States complexions. There were flag dances and Indian dances and other dances. There was lots and lots of music bv the band, Tann-hauser and Lucia and sundry musical comedies. Meanwhile, outside the charmed circle, children waited in endless Hues to slide down tho chute substitutes for nature's cellar door or kept time to the music in swings. Costumes graded from arrogant sashes, socks and sandals to tho single gingham garment and much grime.

CAE OVMPS AX AMBl'EAXCE, Surgeon Srrlou.ly Injured Drher Thrown tinder Vehicle I'nlitirt. A J. Hood Wright automobile ambu lance, driven by John Casoy of 20 Eist 13Sth street and with Dr. H. C.

Cohen at tho stern, was crossing Amsterdam avenue at tooth street early last evening whon a northbound Amsterdam avenun trolley car rammed It amidships and turned it over. Tho car was in charge of a green motorman, John Walley of 111 West Forty-ninth street. On the platform with him was a seasoned motorman, Patrick Oalvin of 510 East 150th street. Galvin thought- that Walley was not going to stop in time to avoid a collision and pushed him aside, taking tho brake himself. The time thus lost prevented stoppage of tho car and tho ambulance was bowled over.

Casey was caught under tho ambulance by tho feot. Lieut. Mitchell of fire truck 22 and Policeman Fitzpatrh liapHned to bo near by. They lifted up tho car and Casey crawled out. He wasn't oven scratched.

Dr. Cohen was tossed out on his head. He sustained concussion of tho brain and a sprained shoulder. A call was sont for another ambulance and Dr. Harrington took his colleague back to the hospital.

There were no arrests. YETERAX OE St TRIES Sl'ICUIE. ('apt. .1. Howard, Crandtnn of Hrtolu-titulary (irneral, Himself.

SAX HILL BOILS OVER. Policemen Pelted With Battles and Tnelr Uniform! Torn to Raga. San Juan Hill was ot the boiling point last night after a row in the afternoon, when two policemen arrested three negroes and marched them to the West Slxty-olghth street station through a shower of atones and bottles. The police said it was the first time the Hill had taken to missile weapons since the raco riots of three years ago. Members of the "strong arm squad" have recently made a number of arresta about tho neighborhood.

It is said that San Juan does not protest at thn arrest of a "bad negro." but if a "good nogro" is picked up for a minor offence the 8,000 black folk who live in the block between Amsterdam and West End avenues and Sixtieth and Sixty-first street pour out Mm angry bees in search of trouble. Tho Hill of course makes its own distinctions between "good" and "bad" negroes. Some of those picked by the "strorjg arm" policemen havo been "good" in the opinion of their follows, and so is George Woodson, who stood yesterday afternoon at the comer of Amsterdam avenue and Sixty-second street singing aud shouting hallelujahs. Policeman Francis Murtha told Woodson to move on. Woodson kicked him.

The policeman tackled the negro, who met him more than half way andgrabbed his club when he tried to draw it. In the struggle tor the club tho negro tore the pocket out of the policeman's trousers. Other negroes cume running to help, but stood away when bottles began raining from the roofs. William Moore, another negro, pitched in on behalf of Woodson. Woodson knocked Murtha down and Moore jumped nn him.

Policeman Charles McKenna arrived and grabbed Moore by the collar. lU a IllUIUCUl.
