THE NEW YORK TIMES. SUNDAY. AUGUST 29 1901). -1 1 I themselves astonished at their own newly discovered power. What the Week Has Seen.

jlSunday evening they flocked forth from their hangars In tho rich sunset end, mada the bewildering of twenty of them. "It is the utter calm." we said. Such a night has never been seen be-forc'nd will not be seen for a long time again." But Monday all were out again, and the American. Curtlss, made a record for speed. Tuesday Bleriot beat it.

Wednesday Paulhan broke all records for both distance and time In the air. Thursday- Latham traveled almost ninety-six miles in the sky before our eyes, making a new record that appeared unconquerable. The unforget-able sight came Friday, when Farman traveled more than 118 miles, and after more than three hours came swooping home because the timekeepers had ceased taking records before the 112th mile was finished. To-day we saw the speed record twice broken. Curtlss winning the International Cup and Bleriot coming after with the fastest lap yet made.

Monoplanes Hold Their Owsu 4 It is too early to reach positive con-. elusions on the events. The contest of I the monoplane and biplane is still unsettled. The champions of these types maintain that the results vindl-' cate their respective claims. It is true 1 the monoplane may win only the prize for speed of a lap perhaps not that but Bleriot's speed and Latham's speed and ability to remain in the air are great facts.

As to stability there la little difference between the Lath-i am, Farman. or "Wright models, while In manoeuvring ability Latham In an Antoinette monoplane and Lefebvre in a Wright biplane were equally as- tonishlng. It deserves to be noted that there were no serious accidents whatever In 4- the week, and tonly a few minor mis-j haps. As a matter of fact, the development of the aeroplane has been I marked by accidents that are ly inconsequential as compared with the automobile. Latham tells me be found the monoplane easier to learn than the automobile.

JUBt as the auto-r" mobile was easier to learn than the bicycle. fi The demonstration of the ease In and the safety of the aero- plane given at Rhelms is likely to cause an Immediate boom in the business of their manufacture. The hang-ars have been constantly visited this week by prospective buyers. Aviators Are Like Oilier Men. i Much nonsense is printed in the i French and English papers about a 1 new race of birdmen, with steely eyes vand beaked faces, and it is declared that all the famous bear the mystic stamp of the new profession.

The Petit Parisien had the other day a headline Two Aviators Visit Rhcims." The aviators referred to were David Lloyd-George, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, and S. Churchill, the President of the Board of Trade.

The editor evl- dently took It for granted that, being sufficiently -famous to have their ar rival at Rhelms noted, they must be aviators. Balloons are Dlaeredlted. One fact was; established to the satisfaction of everybody who witnessed the visits of the two dirigibles, the Colonel Renard and the Zodiac. They were Impressive and' magnificent, and added Immensely to the picture, but the spectacle of the aeroplanes making circles around them taught a great From a military viewpoint, I am i told, the most important fact learned from the meetings is that an aeroplane flying low and head on is invisible a fsnlle away.

I Might Cross the Atlantic. Three weeks ago, hlle talking to Bleriot.

I asked him -what he thought of the possibility of crossing the Atlantic. He replied that he considered the question fantastic. On Monday, with apologetic trepidation. I repeated the question to Curtlss, and since have repeated It without shame to eleven other leading fliers Latham, Farman, Paulhan, Cockburn, Sommer, Le Blanc, Tissandier, De Lambert, Delagrange, Lefebvre, and Fournler, and alsc to the aeroplane designer. Le Vavasseur.

Not one was unwilling to discuss it as a practical question. They generally agreed that it soon would be accomplished, perhaps in ten or twenty years. Such Is the inspiration of the epic marvels daily performed and witnessed in this strange week of rainbows and cloud pegeantry above the plains of Betheny and under the walls of Rhelms.

Cartlss Weather la the Mornla.

V.eathex coadiUons are ideal this morn ing for the international raoe. the main event of aviation week. There was a light hase over the but the flags hung limp and not a breath of air wu stirring. Many Americans were early on the and they all declared tt was "Curtlss weather" and cordingly. Curtiss had said 'that he In tended 10 atari on his two laps for the iP, at tna "rst favorable opportunity.

Ihe mariner who falls to sail in good weather Is never forgiven," he remarked By 10 o'clock there was great activity at the sheds of Bleriot, Latham. Lefebvre, Cockburn. and the other contestants. The pilots and the representatives of the American, English, and French clubs were summoned before the committee to receive instructions. They were Informed that attempts -for the Internationa Cup could be made at will any time between 10 o'clock and 5:30 o'clock.

Curtiss had lightened the weight of his machine for the run to-day by substituting a small gasoline tank for the heavier tank carried earlier In the week. lie came to his decision to make a trial round suddenly at 10:11 o'clock. Surrounded by a group of enthusiastic Americans.

Including Cortlandt F. Bishop, President of the American Aero Club; Commander P. L. Chapin, the American Naval Attache at Paris, and T. Bentley Mott.

the Military Attache, he "had the machine run out on to the field. Curtlss made no preparations for his flight other than to change his coat for a leather jacket. "With no trace of excitement, he climbed Into the seat and gave the order to start the propellers. Running along- the ground a short distance for a flying start, he lifted the machine lightly and circled between the timekeepers and the -tribunes. Then, mounting gradually until he had reached a height of forty-five feet, Curtlss crossed the lire at a terrific pace.

The Curtiss aeroplane, small, romrart. and with trim lines, looked more like a racer than any of the others here. As It sped away straight as an arrow many exclamations oi aamiration were heard. Takes Honors from Bleriot. Clipping the corners closely, Curtlss continued at a uniform height until he had passed the last pylon.

He then descended sharply, to get the benefit of gravity, and crossed the finish line less than a dozen feet above the ground. A few seconds afterward the white ball was noifted. Indicating that a record had beeu broken, whereupon the Americans cheered wildly. The time van i-s taking the honors from Bleriot, who had made a Ian In 8:04 2-5. The acrnnlnn was towed back behind the line and Curtiss was showered- with congratulations.

He replied modestly that this speed was only what he anticipated, and he ex pressed perfect satisfaction with the way in which hla aeroplane had behaved. He complained, however, that he had encountered peculiar air currents. Curtiss announced that he woiHd start Curtiss at the Wheel V-7- )T as Immediately for the international. Uisi gasoline tank was quickly refilled and he got away In fine style. He txse to a greater height than on his trial In order to escape the turbulent air currents near the ground.

Ills flight was masterly. The machine lifted before every turn and swept around on the down grade. Curtiss's first round was slower by 2 1-5 second than his trial, but on the last round he let out his motor to its full speed and came home like a streak. He Shot down from a height of li feet, at which altitude he rounded the last pylon, to the finish line. He crossed in im-pre5sive style, and his time for this round was 7:53 1-5.

This broke his own world's record made half an- hour previously. His total for the twenty kilometers, 12.42 miles, was 15:50 3-5. Air Fairly Boiled t'nder Him. As Curtlss stepped from his after having completed his two rounds, he said he thought he had given his rivals something to worry about. He declared, however, that It was the roughest Journey he had ever made.

"In front or the tribunes I was going steady." he explained, "but when I got to the back stretch I experienced a most remarkable atmospheric condition. There was no wind, but the air seemed fairly to boil. My machine pitched, and over the graveyard I was almost thrown out of my seat. The machine once or twice seemed literally to drop from under me. Under ordinary conditions this curious state of the air would have prevented my starting, but after the splendid time I made In my trial, and considering the circumstances, I could not refrain.

As a matter of fact my experience confirms mv theory that my machine is faster in turbulent air than in a dead calm." Thousands of visitors of all nationalities made their way to Curtiss's shed to congratulate him. Curtiss's competitors showed plainly their astonishment at his remarkable performance, and they hastily completed their preparations to compete with him. Bleriot a trial with his bag machine, but his time was 7 minutes 58 1-5 seconds, which was slower than any one of Curtiss's rounds. Shortly after 11 o'clock Iefebvre. with Wright biplane, made an effort, but his speed was manifestly inferior, and at the last turn of the final round he lost considerably by swinging out too far.

This obliged him to take a reverse curve to pass In front of the keepers. His total time for the distance was 2ft minutes 33 2-3 seconds, almost five minutes slower than Curtiss. The first round, how ever, was made In 9 minutes 45 4-5 seconds. Trouble Over a Bleriot Flight. Bleriot, in his No.

22." again crossed the line at 12:30.. On the advice of Santos- Dumont he had. removed his four-bladed propeller and substituted one of two blades. His number was at once hoisted to the Bignai yard, but no signal showing the contest In which he was engaged was raised. This caused much comment, as the Instructions provide specifically that the pilot apprise the committee In advance whether he was trying- for the International or the lap record.

By this time tne wind had arisen and was blowing from three to five metres a second. Bleriot after completing a single round alighted. No time was announced, the timekeeper saying only that It was slower than Bleriot's earlier round of 7 minutes 58 1-5 seconds. It was afterward announced that his time was 8 minutes 14 2-5 seconds. The machine was put back In thl Bhed.

The official explanation of the failure to hoist a signal designating the contest was that the Commissioner was with Bleriot when he started from a distant part of the field and did not have time to notify the signal station until after Blriot had finished. Mr. Bishop, for America, made a protest against the apparent Irregularity In hoisting of the Bleriot signals, and the committee decided to post every contest In which an aviator started immediately after he crossed the line. As the day advanced, the breeze gradually increased, and at 2:45 it was blowing Irom four to seven metres a second. Bleriot, who had replaced his four-bladed propeller and had been working on.

his machine with feverish haste, started on a third trial round shortly after 3 o'clock, but he stopped after passing first turn. Hubert Latham made a trial lap shortly after 3:30. He went around only once, and flew directly back to his shed. His time is estimated unofficially at 8 minutes and 10 seconds, the beat he has done. The excitement grew steadily as 5 ciock, -which the public understood was the time limit for starting In this event, approached.

Bleriofs and Latham's machines were run out and everybody stood watch In hand. At. 5 o'clock the crowds concluded that the two French champions had defaulted, and a murmur of protest arose, but a minute later it was officially announced that the wordlnr of th mia had been misunderstood, and that it allowed a start to be made any time before CipcK. Bleriot starts at Svrlft Raee. A few minutes later Bleriot and Latham crossed the line in quick succession.

Bleriot went by the tribunes at a terrific pace, and for a moment the Americans feared lest Curtiss had been beaten. He finished the first round almost in the identlfacl time of Curtiss's fastest lan. covering the ten kilometres in 7 minutes 3 3-3 seconds, but his speed seemed appreciably to decrease the last and before he reached the final turn the stop watches showed that he had lost. The French crowds were greatly disappointed! at the failure of their countryman, but largely owing to the popularity of the rights In France and the general 1 rench recognition of the wonderful stimulus Americans have given to the science of aviation, no foreign victory could have ben so popular as an American. The Judges Immediately ran Up the American flag on the signal pole on the timekeepers' stand tn front tt the tribunes, and the bands played "The Star, fcpangled Banner." There was great re-Joktiug among the American spectators Whlte- accompanied by Mrs Theodore Roosevelt.

Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Quentln and Archie, had ar-rved in time to witness the flights bv Bleriot-and, Latham from a special box placed at the disposal of the party. Cartlss Meets, the Roosevelt. When the American flag went up Curtiss. who had refused to accept commit- I ulatlons until It was officially announced that Bltrlofs time was slower than his, was escorted, or. rather, dragged from the sed to the Ambashador's box by several hundred enthusiastic A Mr.

Wtlte's first words were I came to bee you win. and you have done it He then told how Droud h. triumphed and that the blue ribbon of the air would now he rir.n by the nited States. congratulating Curtiss In the name of the and the people of the United States, and then nmcnii xr and Mrs. Roosevelt, as well as the other lucmutrrB ci party, wno added their -vmi kluibiiuiib in warm' terms.

Quentin said "It was bully." at which everybody laughed. Mrs. Roosevelt expressed regret that the ex-Vrrstdcnt ws not thre to witness the American victory Thousands watched scene from the lawn below the stand. The entire party then visited Curtlss In the shed. He gut Into the seat and explained how the machine was controlled1.

Later the Ambassador made lh rnniuii several other sheds to congratulate of His Aeroplane the aviators, while Mrs. Roosevelt and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bacon visited one of the dirigibles and were informed as to Us workings. Bleriot Just at dark clipped 5 2-8 seconds off Curtiss's fastest round In the International In a ten-kilometer flight In the lap ajJeed contest, maklngthe distance in 7 mlautea 47 4-S seconds, which Is a new world's record.

Curtiss announced that he would attempt, to beat this time to-morrow. Only Lefebvre and Farman appeared tn the passenger-carrying contest late In tne afternoon. The former covered a lap with one passenger In 11 minutes 20 4-a seconds. Farman carried one passenger in minutes 52 4-5 seconds and two pa-sengers In 10 minutes 39 seconds. Two machines were put out of the contest to-day by accidents.

As Leon Delagrange was turning the first pylon in the course of an exhlblthlon flight the propeller of his machine broke from its shaft and the aeroplane fell heavily to the ground Fortunately the height at ths time did not exceed twenty-five feet. Delagrange was badly bruised and shaken up, but none of his bones were broken. Cockburn, the Englishman, while malting a trial round Tn preparation for a dash for the International Cup. ran" into 4 hayrack. He was not Jiurt.

ana his machine was not badly damaged, but he could not fly again. The military dirigible balloon Colonel Renard manoeuvred, over the aeroplane field at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon at a height of 1.50O feet. Subsequently the dirigible came down and made a round of the aeroplane course, covering the ten kilometers in 17:57 1-5. Protest of Fuaii'i Victory. Henry Farman' grtat victory of yes terday, when he flew 111.78 miles, was protested to-day on the double ground that he entered with a Vlvlnus motor.

but substituted a Gnome motor, and that he violated Article 8 of the regulations, which provides that all material employed on the ground be approved by the com mittee' Aug. 20, two days before the con- testa opened. The Gnome motor arrived on the grounds Thursday of thts week. Farman replied that he had the au thoriratlon.of the Sportive Committee to use the Gnome motor, but Latham, whose record of 83.07 miles was beaten by Far- man, asserted that, this was insufficient and insisted that the matter go before the full committee. The committee rendered a decision fa vorable to Farman when Farman produced written authorisation from three members of the "Sportive Committee to use the Gnome motor.

yesterday at Rhelms Glenn H. Curtlss has jumped Into world-wide renown in 'aerial circles. That his victory was a surprise even to his closest friends in this country is expressing it mildly. When Mr. Curtlss left for France on Aug.

5 his machine- had never been tried out. and he admitted that he was afraid "he was taking a big chance with the limited time left him to get in condition at Rhelms and try out his motor thoroughly. But after two or three days' tunlug up on the field the machine per formed admirably at every appearance, and when last Monday he established a world's record for speed of 8 minutes 32 2-5 seconds for the circuit his Ameri can friends predicted that be would win, and he became a favorite at Rhelms. If there Is one thine that Curtlss does know, thoroughly it is something -about motors. He was an enthusiastic.

motor cyclist a few years ago, and held mifjy speed records. He has been manufactur lng motor bicycles for several years at his factory In Hammondsport. N. T. Quickly realising the future, of aerial flight, he was one of the earl 1st in America to de vote careful attention to the manufacture of aero motors.

Alexander Graham Bell to become one of xne six member o( tne I iter a Aerial experiment Association. fna, with tha exception of the experiments carried out at Baddeck, Nova bc-ctla, last Winter, tha greater part of their work in solving problems of aerial flight was done, at Hamn.undMKHt. It was there that the four aeroplanes designed bv members of the association were built and tried out. The third machine, which was the moat notable previous to the long-distance flights of the Silver Dart over the Ice at Baddeck last Winter was the, June Bug.

Ic was with that machine that Cur. tiss challenged for the Scientific American Cup, and won It on July 4. 1, flying nearly a mile In 1 minute 42 seconds. He was ottly required to go one kilometer. ,621 of a mile.

i His machine a biplane, is about 30 feet wide with a total expanse of surface of 225 feet. The total weight of the entire machine reaey for flight is 700 pounds, about 100 pounds heavier than the first mac! Ine used at Mineola. It is Interesting to note that Curtiss was the second choice of the Aero Club of America. Efforts had been made to induce one of the Wright brothers to represent America, but they aecllned on account of other duties. Mr.

2a Orvllle Wright. whom the Germans call Orveel Vreet, ia lying low and biding his He decided immediately upon his arrival in Berlin ten. days ago not to make his debut until after the capital had recovered from the present Zeppelin mania. It; is understood that the- modest young American aviator has been doing some comprehensible itching to get to work with his biplane at Tempelhof Field as sooh as possible in, view of the record, smashing which Farman, La tham; Paulhan, and others have been doing at Rheimsthls week, but nothing precipitate has happened and will not see the first flight of a Wright aeroplane until the sched uled time some day next week. Between dodging Interviewers and so cial Invitations, Mr.

Wright has been working away in his accustomed quiet plodding style, putting he finishing touches on 'the two machines which so far have been built by the German Wright Company, and familiarizing himself with the field on which he is to demonstrate his prowess. Mr. Wright disclaims any official intention of trying to break records, but allows the Inference to remain undisputed that something worth while will, in all probability, be doing when he sets his motors working. The aeroplane fever has thoroughly seized Berlin since the Dayton man's arrival; One enterprising hew department store, emulating the example shown by Self ridges in London, has engaged Hubert Latham, the young Anglo-Frenchman, who nearly crossed the channel, and who did fly ninety-six miles at Rhelms Thursday, to come here the middle at September to give a series of exhibition flights with his aeroplane at the new Ruhleben race course. Another big shop has arranged to exhibit one of Blfiriofs monoplanes.

No less than thirty German engineers and inventors, are at work on aeroplanes, including Major von Parseval, the inventor of one of tne successful army dirigible The Wright trials, which are under the auspices of the Berlin Lokalanzel-ger, are bound to give a lively Impetus to flying machines in the Fatherland, and it is prophesied by patriotic experts that Germany will not long lag behind France and America in the realm of heavier-than-air flying craft. If the Kaiser's arrangements permit, he will be present at Orville Wright's first flight in Tempelhof Field, as will also Ambassador Hill and other members of America's official family in Germany. A number of Americans -were invited to the Tempelhof parade grounds yesterday evening by Mr.

Wright and his sister to inspect the aeroplane. They included Ambassador and Mrs. Hill, Gustavo 6chelle, Third Secretary of the Ameripan Embassy, and Mrs. Scholle; Mrs. Sutro, and Mrs.

London has taken almost as keen an interest as Parts In the essays at the conquest of the air at Rhelms. The advertisement which the wine growers of champagne, who undertook' the pecuniary liabilities. of aviation have obtained has roused the envy of the authorities of Blackpool; one of England's most -popu lar Summer resorts, and a delegation ot Municipal Councilors of that city is now on Its way to Rhelms to make arrangements with some of the leading flying men to come and give exhibitions of their prowess next week at Lancashire's Coney Island. -Although their chances of successful negotiations are sofnewhat problematical, England is likely to have an avia tion week of. its own before long under the auspice of the Aero Club, and with prises quite as valuable as those offered in France." There is widespread expectation that the most valuable prise so far held out for any specified flight Lord North- ciiffe's offer of 10,000 for a trip from London to Manchester in' a heavier-than-air machine wtll be won the year la out.

Aero Club Will Defend Cup, Probably on Hempstead Plains, The big thlrig Glenn H. Curttss's victory In the international aeroplane race at Rhelms that appeals to the members of the Aero Club of America' la-the fact that the American club will defend the inter-nalional cup of aviation next year.

In order to "capture the coveted trophy In the aerial world it wyi be necessary for the foreigners to come to this country. It Is a singular coincidence America was the first to win the international balloon cup. Lieut. Frank P. Lahm capturing the trophy when the initial race was held from Paris in ltKXC If this was a surprise for the foreigners, America's victory in the, first international aviation race is muoh more so.

It means the biggest kind of a thing ror the progress of aviation in this country," said A. Holland Forbes, Chairman of the Contest Committee of the Aero Club of America, last stight. Nothing better could have happened to stimulate Interest here and bring Inventive and experimental skill to the front." It is too early to say anything definite regarding the place for holding the big contest next year, but very likely it will be somewhere on the Hempstead Plains. The Aero Club has secured large grounds rear the-Motor Parkway, beyond Garden Ctty. and as flyln? facilities there are Ideal, combined with Rood methods of transportation, it is almost certain that some spot on the Hempstead Plains will be provided for the contest, and grand stands, with other buildings, erected early next year.

The International Cun was founded last December and is open for competition under the rules of the International Federation, of which the- Aero Club of America is a member, being now represented abroad bv- its President, Cortlandt Field Bishop. Each country represented in the International Federation is allowed to make three entries. The general- rules for the contest each year are to De announced by the Federation by Jan. 1 of that year, and the coh-test must take place between May 1 and Nov. 15.

The exact date of the contest must be made by the holding club by April 1. and the contestants must be natives of the country which their club represents. -Ask Farman to Come to New York. S. J.
