15,000 and will be SOO feet long, is
well started and will be completed next
week. Fence building gangs are at
work and shortly a gang of plows and
scrapers will be turned into the field
to prepare the ground for the move
ments of the flying machines. A one
v mile angular course and a mile straight
away course are being laid oft by.py
lons, -with the finish at the grandstand.
Special provisions are being made for
automobiles, including a reserved sec

Orvar Meyerhoffer and Howard
"Woerner, two young aviators who -have
entered" in the novice class," were at the
aviation field yesterday. , Meyerhoffer
has his V - shaped biplane. In] which lie
made a successful: flight at Pleasanton,
at the aviation field already. Yester
day he and his mechanicians -were' put
ting the machine together.
- "Woerner, who is an Oakland lad, 19
years old, already has made trial
flights. He flew at Pau, France, and
Blackpool, Eng., and % owns ; both a
Farman biplane and a* Bleriot mono
plane. --
. One .of the most ] interesting of the !
aviators who will ! participate will be- 1
James Radley, the. British speeder.
At the aviation meet at Lanark, Scot
land, August 15, 1910,' Radley performed
what V.ls [ probably the most marvelous
descent ever- attempted by. any. aviator.
Due to the sudden back firing of. his
engine, followed -immediately ; by;' the
breaking of 'his crank shaft, Radley
pointed his Bleriot aeroplane earth
ward and descended 1,300 feet =on a
perpendicular j plane in the wonderful
time of nine seconds,' righting his plane
and alighting . safely. The barograph
record showed a perfectly, vertical line
in recording his descent. ; . "-;';. -\u25a0 j
NRadley, at the same :meet, captured
the speed record for. one. mile straight
away, covering the dlstance i at the ter
rific speed of 77.6 miles per hour.
{ Prof. John J. Montgomery of Santa. ;
Clara- college was an .interested \ caller
at ! aviation -headquarters yesterday.
Professor Montgomery probably* is the
leading heavier /than air authority Jn
the United j States today. His patents
are basic and he is constructing a dou
ble monoplane which, when' the proper
engine Is installed, probably; will mark
the most advanced stage of heavier
than air flying machines. , • '

BRITISH AVIATOR
IS SPEED CHAMPION
James Radley Defeats Ely and
Parmalee in Race at Los
Angeles
'AVIATION FIELD, XOS ANGELES,"
Dec. 28.— England •: and • France In a
speed . coalition defeated America - to
day, in. the first aerial derby ever , run.
James Radley, the ; British
champion, with a Blefiot- monoplane,
Seat Eug-ene Ely, w drii'lng a- Curtiss
racer, and Phil Parmalee, in a "Baby"
"Wright, in^ an eight- and : three-quarter
mile race over an oval, course. He
not only x demonstrated that ( his French
monoplane is .the -speediest, thing, in
flying , machines ever , seen lwest of \u25a0 the
Rockies, but established a new Record
for the Los; Angeles -field. \u25a0 His > time
for- the height and three-quarter^ miles
was 9:13 1-5, an average of about 57
miles, an hour. His fastest lap was
made at the rate . of almost , a mile a
minute.
Ely's; time was 10:02.4-5, or about
52 miles per; hour., Parmalee's time
was 10:35, or about 49 miles an hour.
Ely's best lap was 1:58 3-5. v In all
the other laps he was uniformly 10
seconds slower than the winner. .
Parmalee's best time was - 2:06 2-5.
The steadiness of ; the machines In a
10 mile gale was a surprise, to - both'
observers and. aviators : alike. It » was
extremely, gusty i.when; the startingiKun
was fired, and treacherous • air currents
blew over the . top \of the hill, but %in
spite of ; that, there was 'hardly a. sec
ond's variation -in the elapsed time of
any of. Radley's rounds, } and j not ! more
than a second in .any of » Ely's. ,' .- • .\
Ely managed to r cross 'the line first ',
but as ' Radley's started , a minute later
than j Ely |he - won - the | race . and - the
rights to;.-' add -V to his present title 'of
world speed champion that of premier
aerial jockey. >; ; '
All the aviators here express a con
viction that the success \u25a0 which r- at
tended; the • two; racing , attempts made
since yesterday.; opens a . new epoch in
aerial ; sport.
"More exhibitions of flying are about
to! pass into the .realm of : the common
place," said Glenn Curtiss this j evening.
"The novelty of that has worn off and
henceforth J racing will be i the % thing.
With; every; manufacturer,:- inventor,
builder and driver, bending; every.;en
ergy and striving to the,. utmost for
speed ; and still \ more speed.Tthe : day ; is

.; - SOME WONDER VALUES
BLACK FRIGHTENS
THIS BLACK BABY
Lack of Mirror in Short Life
Causes Howl- at Sight of
Adopters
Associated Charities' Managers
Careful in Selecting Right
Shades of Color
"Coon, coon, coon, I wish yo* color
\u25a0would fade," has been the refrain in
the minds of the managers of the adop
tion \ ; branch of the Associated Chari
ties - within the last few years "when
they v considered the coal black baby
that has beenileffon their hands since
shortly after the fire. - .
.White children ; are bad enough to
dispose of to. the satisfaction of the
seekers. -but colored babies -are dis
tracting: to the association- employes.
The reason for thia lies -in the as
sorted-shades of color which ; prevail
among the negroes of the present day.
It >is a' point of etiquette, the adoption
bureau] managers* say," that 'the adopted
one i shall .match in- hue ] the; newly ac
quired parents. Family pride and
esthetic feeling are alike wounded by
a. baby too dark or too light.'
"When the Associated Charities- fell
heir- to the black . baby he .was a- tiny
morsel, but, oh, so black. Colored
family after colored family came for
babies, but this one stayed on with the
"charities." Those- families , suf
ficiently well to do to adopt a child and
sufficiently modern not to have children
of their own were all-light colored.
The little tar ;' baby has remained
"boarded out" and otherwise main
tained by the association , for more
than three years now, and" the man
agers believed they haa him for life.
The other day a family of inkiest hue
went .to get a baby — who must of
course "match." The moment ''had
come; the child was described, investi
gated, approved and finally adopted.
All went well, or at , least so they
thought. They had reckoned without
the small. black boy. ~
He had never met a family of his
own shade before and all the . mirrors
had been out of his reach in his short
life. When he was taken to his new
parents jhe was frightened half" out of
his wits. Shrieks and screams greeted
every effort on their part to befriend
him, and when his guardians from the
association left him he was sobbing
bitterly at the kindly but black faces
surrounding him.
