1 (fuom a cobiiespondent.) New York, Despite the optimistic statements regard ing the health of Mr. E. H. Harriman and his evident and pathetic efforts to appear well, the operators of the stock market have been badly impressed by the reports of the railway magnate's condition on his arrival at Hoboken yesterday. It is stated that he did not bear the railway journey to his country seat of Arden well, short as it was, and a rumour pervaded Wall-street this morning that the financier was actually in a very' had state and would not be able to resume his dominant position in the market again.

The distinguished visitors sat for nearly another hour iu their enclosure before any other competitor ventured forth, but Paulhan then treated them to a beautiful flight of 30 kilometres, and immediately after their departure about six o'clock Latham rose and soared away in his inimitably majestic style.

All day long the sun shono ardently, and the breeze whs hardly ever more than six. or seven miles an hour. Very early in tho morning Bleriot and Curtiss were out making trial flights with high-powered machines, and at ten o'clock Bleriot was out again with a smaller monoplane, but tho only incident of tho morning was tho arrival of the dirigible balloon Colonel Renard from Meaus. She appeared, a tiny speck in the western sky, shortly after ten o'clock, gradually growing larger until at 10 45 she nassed over tho who have been fideetv for davs reaardina Mr Harriman's condition, made a concerted attack termination of the campaign.

The measure is notable as embodying the principle of direct interference with the hours of adult labour as against the indirect methods favoured by the Commission which reported last year. Tho present movement towards the improvement of the conditions prevailing in Indian mills and factories began some four years ago, when a series of articles in the Times of India disclosed the abuses which, growing up as a result of the extending use of electric light in tho Bombay mills, had become intensified during the cotton boom.

Lord Morley's first stop was the appointment of a small and strong committee under the chairmanship of Sir Hamilton Freer-Smith, of the Home Office, which went out to India in tho autumn of 1906, and reported in favour of direct restriction, a maximum day oi twelve hours and the appointment of a chief factory inspector for all India.

The distance from Meaux to Bethony is, I believe, about GO miles, and it is said that the Colonel Ilenard made the voyage in less than two hours with three men on board. Although the daily official programme nominally begins at ten o'clock, and people crowd to tho ground much earlier, it seems to ine that most of the competitors do not begin to take things very seriously until the afternoon. At midday, however, Paulhan camo out.

At Kingsdown he spent a few days awaiting favourable weather. Experienced boatmen strongly advised him againet the attempt, and ho took their advice so far as to make a few improvements in his craft, with a view to increasing its buoyancy and steadiness. The plank was two feet wide and eighteen feet long. Westlake obtained four largo oilcans, two of which were lashed on each side of the plank. A mast seven feet high was fitted up with a yard a few feet wide for his tiny sail, while ho also carried two oars.

As the weather calmed down, Westlake got afloat at ten o'clock on Saturday morning, putting off in a very unpretentious way in the presence of a little knot of spectators. He headed at first for the French coast, but soon tho wind veered round and drifted him tcrwards the North Sea. The crews of the lightships off the Goodwin Sands were notified, and a look-out was kept, news being sent ashore to the effect that as darkuess came on Westlake was sighted nil well by the crew of the East Goodwins lightship. A SERIOUS MISFORTUNE. The story of the voyage was told by Westlake himself in an interview at Ostend.

Westlako Btated that he hoped to get across to Calais in about twenty-four hours, but took eufficient bread and tinned meat and -water to last two days. The breeze was not strong enough to prevent the plank drifting considerably with the tides, so that progress across the Channel was very slow. When night fell Wcetlake had a very anxious time, narrowly escaping being run down by shipping on several occasions. Ho had the misfortune on this first night of the voyage to have his stock of provisions and water swept overboard by the wash from a large steamer which nassed closn bv him. ttc ing casualties which this nU n.ew bm- however, accept the con lusion of the Commission that excessivo Ci to the formal inanition of the club and the teS alafwirtout nnv Ttteapt atS election of a small oreliminarv rotnmittixi Tli week i a small preliminary committee.

Starting again at 4 30, Paulhan put up a still better performance. He flew five times round tho course (50 kilometres) in 58min. and had nearly completed a sixth circuit when his petrol "supply failed and he camo down.

Allowing for the wide tweeps round the pylons, his total distance must have exceeded 60 kilometres more than sufficient to win the Liverpool-to-Manehester prize. Like Latham on Sunday he flew high in the air, mid very steadily though not very fast, and it was curious to see Lefehvre on a Wright machine, flying very close to the ground, follow Paulhan round the course and finally overtake him by passing underneath him. After Lefehvre, Sommer, Sanchez-Besa, Dalagrange, Do Lambert, Fournier. Corkburn, Bunau-Yarilla, Bleriot, Tissandier, Gobron, Farmau, and Curtiss started in the order named. Some of them did not complete one circuit, and others contented themselves with one timed round for the Prix au Tour de Piste, but Lcfebvre flew twice- round.

Bleriot, en a 100 h.p. monoplane, flew the distance (10 kilometres) in Smin. 42 2-5sec, thereby setting up a world's record, and Lefebvre, on his Wright biplane, was not much slower in Smin. 53 4-iisec.

Butcher despondently; "only the nominees of tho United Irish League will be nominated, -and they alone will decide between tho rival claimants for land." In the same spirit Mr. Moore detected in tho -scheme a upas tree, whioh, as is the manner of such growths, was however. Glenn Curtiss brought out his yellow Curtiss biplane, which is a slight modification of t-ho Wright design, and to the huge delight ef the Americans present broke Bit-riot's record by flying round the course in Smin. 35sec. at the first attempt.

Thus the day was not without its incidents. TH15 STARTING DIFFICULTY. Already one is beginning to wonder not that these mac-bines fly, but that so many of them hare difficulty in rising. Again and again to-day we saw aeroplanes rushing along tho ground at a great speed on their littlo wheels and just failing to got up. Of course in order to riso an aeroplane must travel along the ground at a higher speed than would suffice to keep it up once it was in the air, for it expends energy in mounting, and over' lift perceptibly slows it.

This seems to be one of the disadvantages of the monoplane as compared with the biplane. To fly at all it must fly, faster, and, indeed, all the machines give one the impression that at anything much less than their maximum speed through the air they begin to come down. The most useful form of competition for aeroplanes would probably bo one in which prizes should be awarded for tho slowest flights, for a machine which can fly comfortably at, say, ten miles an hour will be infinitely more useful and manageable than one which cannot do less than thirty or fort v. tnrough, as tho plank was practically submerged the whole time. When the morning broke there was neither land nor shipping in sight.

He could see vessels now and again, but they were a great distance away, and he and his craft presented too small an object to be observed, nor could any signal he made be seen. A PICKLE INDEED. "It was unlucky to have lost all my provisions in that way." said Wcetlake, "and I was feeling tho effects of hunger and thirst on Sunday, but I had to make the best of it, and kept a course as well ns I could for the French coast. There woe so much North Sea drift with the tides that it was difficult to tell just what progress I van making. The sea also got -up a good deal, and had to cling pretty tightly to the plank to prevent beinc- washed mo uraimue snouid draft rules and repc-t to a further meeting to be held on Wednesday next week.

Our Calcutta correspondent, writing on August 5, says: In his introductory speech Mr. Harvey explained at some length why the Government had rejected the recommendation of the Factory Labour Commission that there should he no direct limitation of the hours of adult labour.

The language used by the Factory Labour Commission on this point was very emphatic: "Wo aro strongly opposed to any direct limitation of adult working hours, because we consider that thero is no necessity for the adoption of this course, berauso we are convinced that it would cause the greatest inconvenience to existing indus The excitement was now One hundred and thirty kilometres j-rj riwrot! in 2hrs. and there was t-r-z was tho limit of the machine. kilometre, however, this was brought to an end, not of tho aeroplane, but preceded- wo tho aviator had used all his was. of course, easily first security in the windows shoot at th force defiling past them.

The idea of the club would be to band together all men interested in the problem of the air.

They would then be able to arrange for lectures by successful aviators, and perhaps help one another in various ways. Manchester men had not yet done anything in aviation, though some of them perhaps were trying to make themselves believe they were clever. (Laughter.) By hearing lectures and hoMin discussions as to the best designs and methods of building they would gradually be able to bring to ecientifie accuracy ideas which a3 vet were in the rough. A suggestion which has obtained publicity that the club members might share in the possession of an aeroplane motor was mildly satirised by one speaker. He asked what would happen if a member put the motor in a machine, and, coming to grief, smashed it.
