JOHNSTONE SETS
NEW RECORD OF
8,471 FEET
American Altitude Supremacy Is
. Won as Aviator Uses
Last of Fuel
"I Was Scared for Fair When I
Got Back to Earth and Saw
Wind," Says Birdman
NEW YORK. Oct. 28. — The crowd
at Belmont park today was all
for Ralph Johnstone, when, from
Middle Island Tillage. L. 1.. 55 miles
off the course, he brought back a new
American record of 5.471 feet for alti
tude — the second he has added to his
string in the International aviation
meet.
"Tell you what, boys," Johnstone
said when he landed, "it was Just the
mercy of Providence that saved my
neck. When I thought I was within
touching distance of the neflv world's
record I kind of forg-ot 'all about the
wind and began to reach out for more
height. Then I suddenly said to my-
Eelf, 'Young man, you better see how
much gas you have.' It's the truth. I
hafl Just enough to turn over the two
propellers. When I kept her nose up
the Jalce ran down into the engine and
ehe coughed. The minute I pointed
down I lost my fuel and she began
to miss.
Like Stidoting Chutes
"It "was just like shooting the chutes.
First Td take a header with the power
off. and when the wind began to carry
me out of control I'd point up 'a bit,
get a little headway, run level for, a
hundred yards and then dip again.
**I was not much scared until I got
down to earth and saw what a gale
there was. Then I was frightened for
fair. The only Fpot I could find to land
i*n was a iittle patch not three times
bigger across than the stretch of my
wings from tip to tip.
Wind Saves Him
"While I was tossing pennies with
myself, the wind turned me clean
around and landed me front, and back
ward, but that was just what saved
m*.
"If I"d come down head first,, the
wind would have picked me up, tipped
me. over and smashed me to pieces."
Just before the passenger carrying
cress country racf wa« started at' 4
o'clock this afternoon a mote in the
paling f=ky was seen far to tfie south
east. It was Johnstone. reappearing
ju?t where he had vanished in yester
day's pale. He circled the field and
settled in front of the Judges' stand,
\u25a0while the grandstand waved, cheered
and stamped.
The Aero Club of America selected an
American team to defend the Gordon
Ber.nott international speed trophy. It
had been intenOed to narrow the choice
by elimination trials, but windy weath
er forbade. Hamilton, with his 110
horsepower Hamiltonian; Drexel. with
a 50 horsepower Bleriot, and Brookins
in the now Wright, racer were named.
cvfc'viss nACEn umried
Curtiss, who brought the cup to this
country, thus has no part in defending
!t, and his new racer remained untried.
It and other dark horses will have a
chance to show what they can do in the
errand speed . trials, which carrj' prizes
of $3,000 for first place and fI.OOO for
second place. ; • \u25a0 . .
Against the high powered foreign
monoplane America has but one ma
chine of equal power. Hamilton's 110
horsepower biplane, but the new
Wright 1 racer has been clocked and
Judges think it ought to retain the cup.
There was no flight to the statue, of
liberty today, because th^s wind was too
high. Moisant and De Lesseps both
tried, but neither finished. Moisant
took up Fred Thompson, a theatrical
manager, and left him four miles away
in a cabbage patch.
Audemars. who dares to drive a tiny.
Demoiselle, took his butterfly out in too
strong a ~<lnd and was capsized. He
struck the earth with his front wheels,
bounced Into the air and ended by turn
ing a somersault, but was uninjured.-
The Liberty flight is still open to
morrow and flights for the Gordon
Bennett cup may begin at any time
after 6:30 a, m.
Flies 289 Miles in. Six Hours
ETAMPES, France, '\u25a0_ Oct. 28.—Maur
ice Tabuteau broke the •world's ".rec
ords*^ for time and distance today by
flying- 289 miles in six hours in a con
tinuous trip. A prctnium of $4,000 goes
to the winner. The previous record
was held by Olleslager. the Belgian
aviator, who corered 244 miles in five
hours three minutes and five seconds
on July 10 last. ". "
