[ Philadelphia. Nov. 2.°..-^. Armstrong Drexel broke all aeroplane altitude rec ords here to day. when he climbed above this city until his Bl^riot monoplane was unable to make further progress in the larefied atmosphere. The ink in the needle of his barograph, ran out at 9.070 feet, which was ac cepted as a new world's record to-r.. by Clifford 3. Harmon, chairman of tha National Council of Associated Aero Clubs of America, and James King Duffy, the secretary of that body. The Instrument is the sons* one which Ralph Johnstone. who was killed in Del ver last week, carried when he mad* th« former record of 0.714 feet at Bats*** Park on October 31. It was brought to this city from Drexel's landing place to-day under seal by Mr. Duffy, in sr*Sl that the record made would be official. Mr Drexel left the aviation field at Point Breeze, in the extreme southern part of the city, at 3:23 p. m. He landed at OrWnA about twenty miles n.rth of the spot where he had started, at 44« P. m. In his climb he had trav elled at least thirty miles to the north ward. for wnen he started to descend, after trying for fifteen minutes to force the machine richer, he glided down for a distance which he estimated to-night at about six mliea. Nauseated by Drop. So swiftly did the monoplane descend that the aviator was nauseated. How ever, he reached an open field and brought his machine to the ground with- W^*% once notified the officials at the aviation field of hi* landing Clu ford Harmon and Orahame-Wlute at once started for Oreland in an auto mobile, and brought the aviator and] the barograph, still under seal, to this cit> Mr Drexel said to-night that he would fly the machine back to the aviation field to-morrow morning-. He -was greatly disappointed when he found that the barograph had failed to record an even ten thousand feet. -The air was so light it was impossible to make the machine ascend another foot," he said. "The engine would not carry it any further, and I was up at the extreme altitude for more than fifteen minutes, jumping the machine in. an effort to secure a greater height." Special Dress for Flight. Mr Drexel said to-night that while It was 'extremely cold he did not suffer like he did when he made his previous records of 6.7r>0 feet at Lanark. Scotland, and 7.105 feet at Belmont Park, because he Was more warmly clad. He wore a specially constructed canvas suit over, lambs' wool underwear and three sweat ers. His hands were encased in fur i lined gloves, and he wore a woollen cap and a mask with goggles to protect his head and face. When Drexel began his flight there was a light breeze, scarcely more than a zephyr, blowing from the south. As he arose in the air the aviator pointed the nose of his biplane toward the north, psjdj in five minutes was only a speck in the heavy sky. The aviator made circle after circle until it almost made one dizzy to watch the fast disappearing craft. When the monoplane finally disappeared from view on the northern horizon the curiosity of the crowd was at fever pitch, and for more than an hour the one topic was Drexel. Finally when word reached the track that the aviator had landed safely at Oreland a mighty shr»ut went up from the anxious < row.i. and later when it was announced that a new world's altitude record had probably been made the cheering was renewed with even more vigor. Other Aviators Uneasy. Clifford B. Harmon and Grahame* White, who appeared to be unable to content themselves during the flight of Drexel. at once leaped into an auto mobile and made a wild dash Bern Ore land. In less than two noon the threo aviators were on their way back to the city. Secretary Duffy and President Ather holt. of th.> Aero Club of Pennsylvania, were waiting to make the official ex amination of the barograph, which Mr. Harmon carried, still under seal. After the announcement that Mr. Drex«»l had broken all aviation records for altitude, the aviator expressed regret that he had not ascended higher. "Had it not been for the rarefied at mosphere.'* said Mr. Drexel, "there is no tellinc how high I would have gone. The barograph shows how I worked to force the monoplane to a greater altitude, but it was impossible to do so.** Crahame- White was enthusiastic over the performance of Drexel. He char acterized him a* the greatest altitude flyer in the world. •'It is a grand achievement to have a Philadelphian establish a world's rec ord in hi.< home city." said White. "Drexel is the fastest climber in the u-orld. He can rise a yard when another
