VISIT TO ITALIAN CITIES
A cablegram received by the Cunard
Steamship company, ltd., represented

bank, reads:
"There is no truth In the statement
reporting that the call of the east
bound steamers at Naples had been
abandoned. Passengers will not bo
quarantined at Rome, after being ex
amined on the train between Naples
and that point. The Italian govern
ment has made arrangements for
steamers to call at the outer harbor
at Naples, and passengers and bag
gage are landed on a tender which con
veys them directly to the wharf;
thence, under cover of the police guard
to the railway station, wnere special
steamer trains are dispatched imme
diately, permitting the passengers to
leave with a clean bill of health.
Steamers of the Cunard service will
not abandon their call in Italy. If for
any reason the call cannot be made at
Naples, they will land at Ville Francho
or at Genoa,"

Ten employes of the company ap
peared in a body asking for lots. They

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.
RUBBER GAS BAGS PROVE

advised to organize, If possible, an
expedition to rescue the balloon Amer
ica 11.
Rubber gas bags were victorious
over the cambric. The America 11,
Dusseldorf II and Germania, the lend
ing prize winners, were made of rub
ber. The three balloons which came
down the day following the start had
bags of cambric.
