WIND WINS RACES IN AVIATION MEET Johnstone Tries for Altitude Rec ord and Secures Day's Distance Mark (Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct 87.—Such are rh» caprices of October weather that Ralph Johnstone and Arch Hoxsny of the Wright team of aviators went up for an altitude record at Belmont park this afternoon and brought the record of the day for dlsrance. The fifth day of the international meet opened full of promis. mn<i closed In a howling wester 1 that filled the nir with whirling autumn leaves, slimmed down the benches In the grand stand, ripped out fhe canvas ncreens and sent such a skirmish line of dust danc ing around the rrack thnt the lamps had tr> bo lighted outside the hangars for the mechanics to find their way about. It was a furious end to a day of post ponements, disappointments and scat tered feats of the most during nirman shlp that has yet been witness a by an American crowd. Officially, flights for the Gordon Ben nett elimination trials to pick an American team to defend the lnterna rlonal trophy opened at 9 a. m., but nobody cared to come out for them in the wind that was blowing. MONO TRY FOH PRIZE At 1:30 p. m. the special prize of $10, --000 offered by Thomas F. Jiyan for a flight from the Held to the Statue of Liberty and return was open to any aviator, but none of them dared try it. They chose to take advantage instead of the latest largess allowed them by the committee —permission to compete between 1:30 and 3:45 any afternoon during the meet, provided only that they should finish before 5:30. That narrowed the program down to on 9 hourly event for distance and alti tude. Latham, in his Antoinette, for distance, and Hoxsey and Johnstone of the Wright team, for altitude, were the only ones to brave a gale of from twenty to twenty-five miles an hour. Johnstone and Hoxsey tried to set their wings and Boar Into the gale with out effort, but they showed that the way of an eagle in the air is still one of the things men do not understand, They kept their poise beautifully, but although the speed of the biplane they were flying Is normally thirty-five miles an hour, and their engines were running wide open, they were pushed steadily back down over the edge of the horizon. Both were driven miles off the course. Word came from Hox sey first that he had landed safely at Brentwood, twenty-five miles distant. Johnstone was carried fifty-five miles to Middle Island village, L. I. ONLY ONE ENTRANT For the first hourly distance event, the only routine number remaining on the program, the sole entrant was Latham in an Antoinette. He finished the hour with only fourteen laps, 21.7 miles, in 55 minutes and 24.50 seconds. One thousand feet above the grand stand he Journeyed around the curves by sheer resourcefulness and nerve. The gale was so obstinate that he had to point head into It in order to edge sidewise, like a ferryboat in a run of tide, and make distance to the west. The summaries, so far as they are available, follow: First hourly distance event—Won by Latham (Antoinette), 14 laps, 21.7 miles; time, BR minutes and 24.5 sec onds. No other starters. First hourly altitude—Undetermined. Special event for altitude and du ration—Won by Brooklns (Wright); time, 20 minutes; height, 650 feet. No second starter.
