FIRST AVIATION MEET IN AMERICA CLOSES BRILLIANTLY
SEES BIG FUTURE
IN AERONAUTICS
MILLIONAIRE NEW YORKER
WRITES TO CLASSMATE
COMPANION OF HARMON ACROSS
ATLANTIC IS SANGUINE
Declares That Man-Bird Chicks Will
Multiply and Fill the Sky
Befor: Very
Long
One of the college classmates of Aug
ustus T. Post, the New York million
aire, An herst graduate and booster of
the a\ I itlon game, not long ago re
cleved a letter from the enthusiast that
Js at least optimistic as to the possibili
ties of the navigation of the air.
Mr. Post will be remembered by avi
ators, aeronauts and the general read-
Ing public as the man who narrowly
escaped death a year or two ago In
the balloon in which he and another
aeronaut were taking part in an inter
national race. His later follows:
"A tlavor of aeronautics Is around
my pen, the. paper has the scent, and
a hot one, too, right from Hheims,
where we were this morning and will
be this afternoon, for that is the name
of the, place where the flying here is
done as well as France. They have the
best wine cellars and wine in the world
here too, but that has nothing to do
with flying, I am sure.
"I came up here with Clifford B. Har
mon from New York, with whom in
the balloon New York, as aide, I made
the second longest official trip in
a balloon and the third longest ever
made—4B hours and 26 minutes, when
■we reached an altitude of J4.200 feet.
Old Los Angeles Mentioned
"From that performance, practically
living in the air—for we took food and
clothing and instruments ami enough to
keep us all for a week—we now come
to the areoplane, where a thirty-minute
flight by an amateur is considered good
and the world's record Is but little over
four hours. Here is the nest of the
bird-men, hero is where they roost.
There are three good eggs ready to be
hatched out and plenty of old shells
lying aroujid on the junk pile.
"Capt. Thomas S. Baldwin, the father
of aeronautics, also is here building
his new dirigible balloon, and Mr. Cur
tiss planning how he can win the
Michelin cup which Mr. Wright says
cannot bo won unless a flight is made
from dawn to dark. I have visited also
the instruction grounds at College park,
Maryland, where Mr. Wright has in
structed the army officers, and as the
idea is passed beside machines aero
nauts are made, which Is the very lat
est step in the progress of the art, the
human one, and the very point where it
becomes interesting to us all because it
comes nearer and nearer until it will
drag us into its net and we ourselves
will have a chance to fly.
Success Not Far Awa^
"The time is not far off, because It is
like population, it comes slow when
there are only two parents like the
Wright brothers, and the curious thing
about this is that the parents of the
man-birds are both men, but when
there are many, each with a brood, the
chicks will multiply and fill the sky.
"This is rather a humorous view, but
I am on the spot, I have the point of
view, and this is the landscape or sky
scape as it looks from here. I would
like to send you all some of the flavor
of the wine. As Lincoln said when they
told him Gen. Grant drank whisky,
'Find out what brand. I want to give
it to some of my other general?.' This
is the Curtiss brand, and it is good. I
heartily recommend and indorse this
kind of mental food. It has made a
great many think. I. hope It will mak>
you. I am lecturing this winter and
Writing on this subject too."
PHOENIX BIDS FOR FLYERS
PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 20.—Arrange
ments are about completed for raising
$15,000 for an aviation meet to be held
heie three days early in February.
Curtiss, Hamilton and Willard agreed
to come here for a guarantee of $12,000,
and local people held a meeting today
and planned to raise that sum by sub-

An Orange county farmer lost a
cow in a queer manner. The ani
mal in rummaging through a sum
mer kitchen found and swallowed
an old umbrella and a cake of yeast.
The yeast fermenting in the poor
beast's stomach, raised the umbrella
and she died in great agony.
We cannot, of course, vouch for
the truth of this story, but we can
emphatically warrant the age and
purity of all our goods. They con

FINANCIAL SIDE
OF MEET SUCCESS
CONTRIBUTORS TO RECEIVE
THE PROFIT
William M. Garland in Statement Re
views Results of First Avia.
tion Meet Held in
America
"Those persons who came forward in
our hours of need with subscriptions
amounting to more than $43,0u0 in sup
port of the Aviation week program wo
can pay back dollor for dollar together
with an interest of 2T> per cent on their
money," said William M. Garland, one
of the members of the Aviation com
mittee in a discussion yesterday on
the success of the great meet. "I feel
ontident," continued Mi. Garland,
"that Aviation week has done more for
Los Angeles in spreading her name
over the globe than anything we could
possibly have done. Too much credit
for its success cannot be' given to H. E.
jrtuiuington, who, with the public
spirit, that has always characterized
the man, threw $10,000 into the breach
at a critical moment inspiring confi
dence in our project, nor can too much
credit be given to others who helped,
although in smaller amounts.'
"I believe," continued Air. Garland,
"that out ot this great event that has
just closed will spring an international
and annual aviation program that
every year will send the njime of Los
Angeles resounding over the gloli>
the aviation center of the world. Our
climate and our public splritedness to
gether with the way the'city has re
sponded to it makes this more than
possible."
"I admit," said Mr. Garland, "that
as a committee we have made some
mistakes, but we are the wiser for
them and will profit In a future event
by our mistakes in the past. In the
first place, we were too small in num
ber and were overburdened with work.
The committee instead of comprising
merely seven men should have had a
membership of fully twice that number,
divided into separate committees de
tailed to separate work. This would
have equalized things for us to a de
gree, whereas we could have done fuller
justice to the things we did do. An
other thing we were not entirely fa
miliar with was the amusement game,
and In this respect we were at a decid
ed disadvantage."
According to a report turned in last
night to Treasurer Perry W. Weldner
by the auditing committee, composed
of John S. Mitchell and John Lucken
bach, the total amount of money re
ceived from ticket sales amounted to
$137,520.30; general admissions amount
ed to 176,466; grand stand seat sales
totaled 78,1*^; auto park receipts, ?; {jOB.
FRESNO DECIDES TO
HOLD AVIATION MEET
FRESNO, Cal., J;.n. 20.—At the
meeting of the chamber of commerce
this morning it was decided that the
offer made by the representatives of
UM Frank H. Johnson Mercantile
' company would be accepted and that
LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1910.
an aviation meet would be held in
Fresno next week, commencing Thurs
day, January 27, and lasting through
Sunday, January 30.
The report of the Frank H. John
son Mercantile company promised that
he would have Willard with his Cur
tiss aeroplane .".nil Knabenshue and
Beachey in the two dirigibles here for
the meet and that Fresno could rely
on seeing remarkable flights.
He stated that Till rd was anxious
to establish records and, with this in
view, the chamber of commerce has
offered a reward of $5000 to the aviator
that breaks the height record and of
JSOOO to the aviator that breaks the
speed record. This is expected to
bring other aviators to this meet to
compete for this prize.
The Frank H. Johnson representa
tive states that, if the climatic condi
tions during the meet were the same
as today, he felt confident Willard
would succeed in breaking the record.
PROF. LOWE EXPLAINS
HIS BALLOON PLANS
Pioneer Aeronaut Expects to Carry
Passengers Across Valley in
a Dirigible—Will
Cost $50,000
. [Special to The Herald.]
PASADENA, Jan. 20.—One last de
parting look was taken at aviation,
first hand, this evening when Prof. T.,
C 8 Lowe, after whom Mount Lowe is
named and who built the Mount Lowe
railway, made formal announcement
in his own opera house of his dirigible
balloon plans. Prof. Lowe made what
many believe to be the longest flight
ever made in a balloon. That was dur
ing the Civil War, when he was with
the Union army. For this reason his
talk was both interesting and had im
portant scientific bearing.
A special car brought out many from
Los Angeles and a large number of
local people also attended. Courtlandt
Bishop was among the guests and
speakers of the evening, while Prof.
George Wharton James also spoke and
also showed lantern slides.
Interest really centered about the new
balloon for which Prof.' Lowe has al
ready drawn plans and for which he is
cv( 11 now having a specially treated
silk made. Prof. Lowe claims to have
invented a weather proofing pro. ess for
balloon silk which will enable the bal
loonist to keep his balloon Inflated for
weeks or even months at :t time. He
claims that this material will hold in
gas for an indefinite period and that
With it he can go up ami down in a
great dirigible balloon with a small
launch for passengers attached in place
of the big carrier compartments of the
German machine.
Prof, Lowe plans to build this bal
loon in Pasadena and make a trial
flight first across this valley. The com
apparatus he estimates will cost
$50,000, and he proposes to have it
shaped like the ordinary balloon and
propelled by propellers both fore and
aft of the Bhiplike passenger section.
He estimates thto lifting power of his
balloon at twenty tons.
Good Guess

town have a combined payroll of $3,00,

CURTISS PLANS
BIG BIPLANE
AVIATOR SAYS IT WILL BREAK
ALL RECORDS
Machine Is Conceived to Carry Three
Passengers and Outclass Others
for Speed and Endur.
ance
That Glenn H. Curtiss will hurry to
New York for the purpose of putting in
operation plans for the immediate
building of a new biplane, along his
own lines of invention, that will carry
three passengers and break all records
for speed and endurance, and that it is
not the pending suit of the Wright
brothers that is causing him to hurry
away, was the substance of B statement
made by his manager, Jerome Faniculli,
at the Van Nuys hotel last night.
"Curtiss is going to New York to per
sonally superintend the building of a
three-passenger biplane that is going to
outclass anything in the world for en
durance and for speed," said Faniculli,
"and this machine, of his own concep
tion, will be turned out of his factory
at Hammondsport within less than a
month after work upon it is started.
Curtiss intends to waste no time in
making this biplane a reality. He is
confident-that in endurance and speed
it will break all records."
"Had Curtiss cared," continued Fin
icullt, "he could have made and beaten
Paulhan'i record In height, but he is
much opposed to anything tending to
ward the sensational, and dealrei to
develop along practical linos. Curtlse
will possibly never try for great height,
not even in this new machine that he
claims has not a superior in the world.
I think that Hamilton will possibly
lake the record from Paulhan."
Mr. Faniculli stated that the factory
at Hammondsport is swamped with or-
Ylers for Hying machines, and that they
are turning them out as fast as possi
ble. "It takes a month to build a ma
chine," said Faniculli, "and the average
cost Is $s*oo. It is the very rich, of
course, that are our patrons. Many of
these persons can operate a Hying ma
chine without lessons, although others,
who are entirely ignorant of aerial nav
igation, need Instruction. It is very
simple, practically the balancing of the
machine with the body, the swaying to
and fro, whichever way you desire to
go, and a simple application of the
■tei ring gears."

which resembles a harvester, was the
last of tin' flying machines which have

were of the Curtis* type. One was the
Curtiss Rhelms racer, another the ma

so many expert nights, and the last
the one which later in the day almost
proved a death-dealer to C. K. Hamil

Following- the biplanes walked the
aviators who have made history and
fame for Loa Angeles. Paulhan, Cur

Knabenshue walked with others
famous in the world of aeronautics.
Medals Are Presented
As the parade halted for a few mo
ments D. A. Hamburger, chairman of
the aviation committee, made a short
Bpeech of appreciation and thanks to
tin aviators ami then presented them
with medals as souvenirs of the meet.
The favored few were Cortlandt Field

Edward Cleaxy, Lieut. Beck of the reg
ular army and Jerome B. Fanoiulli.
As soon as the. presentations of med
als were over Paulhan and Curtiss got
down to business. Paulhan first rose
Into the air and began a long and
weary grind p.ro\ind the short course
in an endeavor to break the endurance
record He had been In the air some
minutes when Curtlsa in his Kheims
racer rose on what was supposed to
be a ten-lap speed test. It proved a
mid-air race between Curtiss and Paul
han, with Curtiss an easy winner.
When Curtiss rose into the air Paul
han had a Had of three-quarters of a
mile In three laps Curtiss had cut
down the lead to a few hundred feet.
\s the two machines came by the
grand stand with lightning-like speed.
Curtiss swept by his rival foot by foot.
Then he passed high over his rival.
The crowd cheered the plucky Ameri
can like a tribe of Indians. The race
was not over, however, for Curtiss kept
his engine working to fullest capacity.
He caught and passed his rival twice
after that, each time receiving a tre
mendous ovation.
Curtiss .Quits First
Round and round and round the
Frenchman and the American went.
Mile after mile was tolled off until 1 at
last Curtiss, tired of success and ap
plause and exhausted from the grind,
came to earth. He had driven F. 4.14
miles and was in the air 1 hour and 24
minutes and 30 seconds. Paulhan,
whether through a desire to break a
record or through chagrin at being
defeated by Curtiss, kept up his grind.
He made forty laps of the course, a
distance of 64.4 miles, in 1 hour, 49
minutes, 40 4-5 seconds.
When Paulhan came to the ground
and was helped out of his machine, he
was stiff with the cold and his arms
ached like a sore tooth. He said he
would not want to attempt such a per
formance again for some time to come.
It was while Paulhan and Curtiss
were flying their one-sided race that
Hamilton rose into the air to try for a
height record. He circled several times
far off the course, and with a spiral
movement of his machine ascended to
626 feet above the earth, the greatest
height made by any aviator except
Paulhan since the meet began. While
he was a mere speck in the graying;
sky no suddenly started to come, down,
and then with a turn of his wheel shot
out towards the oceun.

east and came sailing rapidly home,

judges feared he had met with an ac
cident, so WHlard volunteered to go in
his biplane and look up the missing
aviator. Willard had not been In the
air three ntinutos when Hamilton ap
peared out of the western twilight,
When within light of the spectators
he met with his accident and made his
long glide to earth. He had been In the
air 86 minutes,
Paulhan won tho most money in
prizes during the meet. He captured
the cross-country prize of $10,000, the
endurance and time prize of $3000, and
the three-lap-with-passenger prize of
$1000.

| AVIATION NOTES |
With a record which reads like a
chapter from Jules Verne, aviation
week yesterday was brought to a suc
cessful close. Not .1 perlormer killed,
no serious accidents and records
smashed galore is the summary In
brief.
If 1010 was a success what may one
expect <>f the mil aviation meet? Let
the Wright brothers go easy on their
injunctions and the following year will
see not one, but a dozen of the best
foreign aviators in the world in South
ern California.
Poor old Southern California's cli
mate. The pride of the South, it'has
been ridden over roughshod during the
past ten days and conquered at will
by half a dozen aviators.
For originality yesterday's parade at
Aviation park easily outclasses any
thing ever before witnessed. Leave it
to Los Angeles enterprise and the
result never will be in doubt.
To the Dominguez family It due not
only the thanks of Los Angeles, but
the gratitude of the entire world. Out
of the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars take.ii m at the park, not a single
ci nt did the donors of the grounds
receive.
How would you like to have had a
rakcoff of yesterday's gate receipts?
Smith showed the nerve of which
aviators are made in endeavoring to
get bla boat-o-plane off the ground
with 45,0u0 spectators looking on.
Many who witnessed the attempt de
clared that, had the engine possessed
sufficient force, the weird looking con
trivance would have ilywn.
High altitude appears to have a de
pressing effect on the en; me of Ham
ilton's machine. His third attempt to
wrest Paulhan'a altitude record from
the Frenchman resulted in Hamilton
attaining a height of a little over 3GO
feet.
"New York had her six-day bicycle
race, San Francisco may have her Jef
fries-Johnson prize tights and Los An
geles has"— at this point cries of
"aviation week" drowned the voice of
the speaker.
Professor Turning's machine, np
peared to follow the principles of bird
Right, but it lacked one thing—the
motive power.
That's where Paulhan wins out. It's
the engine. He knows that a machine
is turning his propeller upon which he
can rely.
Paulhan got away well, but when
Curtiss let out a wrap and begnn to
nnve up there ■ 'as nothing to it. A
romp in the stretch.
From touring Southern California's
climate, Curtiss now ill turn to fight
ing the Wright brothers in court. We
wish him as much success in one as
in the other.
As D. A. Hamburger expressed
It, Knabenshue and Beachy helped
aviation weeh by getting into the air
on the slightest provocatl. n. This,
perhaps, is preferable to not being able
to get oft the ground.
It's an even money bet that, had
Isaac Xewton been at Avl-ttion field
yesterday, the law of gravitation never
would 1-avo been discovered.
Medals were dispensed ad inflnltum
yesterday to all who aided in the con
quering of Southern California's
climate.
Hamilton proved that the Curtiss
biplane also is capable nf leaving its
own back yard by Hying- to Santa
Monica anil back.
Monsieur Paulhan takes with him to
La Belle Franco not only records
galore, several rich prizes and a, keen
remembrance of Southern California,
but the heartfelt appreciation of -ad
miring thousands.
Curtiss for speed, Paulhan for dar
ing and Dick Ferris for keeping ever
lastingly at it.
J. C. Mill 1?, the Oakland balloonist,
took his first good look at the air
ships yesterday. Previously he had
seen nothing mere than a streak in
the distance.
To every aviator and every person
who helped to make aviation week the
wonderful success that it was, who
aided in any shape or manner in mak
ing history not only for Los Angeles,
but for the ertire world, Southern
California says not goodby or adios,
but auf wledersehn or au revoir.
HERALD FIRST TO
BOOST AVIATION
IN DEC, 1908, MOVEMENT FOR
CONTESTS WAS BEGUN
DICK FERRIS' IDEA PUBLISHED
MANY MONTHS AGO
Franklin K. Lane's boast of Southern
California as Good Location
Also Is Recalled
to Mind
Los Angeles Herald possesses the
distinction of being the first newspa
per in L.os Angeles to urge an Inter
natlonal aeroplane meet. When Dick
Ferria lirst advanced the suggestion
in December, 190S, he made It to the
aeronautical editor of The Herald and
Roy Knabenshue, and since that time
The Herald has "boosted" the Ferris
idea.
After the Rheims meet and Its suc
cess Franklin K. Lane, interstate
commerce commissioner, wrote to tho
editor of The (Herald suggesting that
Southern California is the ideal place
tor great aeroplane contests. This
tribute to Los Angeles, which has been
so materially reinforced in the last two
weeks, was the lirst from an outside
Bource favoring an aviation week in
Los Angeles.
In this connection the following
prophecy, made to The Herald by Dick
Ferrii on the night of his return from
Minneapolis, published in The Herald,
September 2, is of Interest.
"Mr. Ferris had been dreaming about
aeroplaning in Los Angeles this winter
for some time, and already had put a
winter trip to Los Angeles'before Cur
tiss through Roy Knabenshue before
Curtiss left New York for the contests
in France.
" 'It would be the finest advertising
in the world to have that contest here
and to bring it in midwinter,' said Mr.
Ferris, after lie had brushed off the
dust of travel last night. 'It would
bring more people and more money
here than evon Elks' week did. Peo
ple are wild all over the country about
aeronautics, and they would come from
everywhere to see Hying and spend the
winter here/
"Mr, Ferris was so enthusiastic over
winter aeronautics in Los Angeles that
he had a conference with Roy Knab
enshue in July, and the latter talked
with a number of eastern aeronauts
and aviators about spending the win
ter in Los Angeles. Several, among
them being Glenn H. Curtiss, who won
the Gordon Bennett cup at Rheims,
expressed groat interest in the propo
sition, and Air. Ferris has agreed to
send them further details now that he
is homo again."
