AN AIRSHIP AT LARGE
ssTHE CALIFORNIA ARROW" GETS
 AWAY AT ST. LOUIS.
After Two Accidents the Grand Finnie Comes When the Invention
 Floats Away in the
 Darfnesn. atf

l
 St. Louis, Nov. 2-Two accidents to- day prevented the long distance trial flight by Captain Thomas s. Baldwin of San Francisco. to test the staying powers of his airship. the California Arrow. and what was to have been a speed demonstration around pre- scribed quadrangular course of about fifteen miles developed into drifting exhibition. The Arrow finally landing In a corn field fcur miles west of the aeronautic concourse at the worlds fair after the motor had been disabled by an exhaust cap again blowing on when the vessel had resumed its flight after the first breakdown had been re- paired.
 The first accident resulted in the Ar row being brough. to the ground about a mile and a half northeast of the con- course. The airship was commanded by A. Roy Knabenshue of Toledo, ono. the hero of the successwul flights or Monday and yesterday. Captain 6a!o win had arranged to follow the ar ship in an automobile and when the ac- cident occurred and the motor stopped he gave instructions to foioWs tne drifting aerial craft
 Just before passing through the worlds fair gates. Jefferson Guard ran 10 the automobile and handed Captain Baldwin Q metal cap which he said had fallen just after 1t was noticed that the airship was In trouble. The cap explained the nature of the accident and Captain Baldwin stated that the damage could be repaired without bringing the airship back to the aerodrome> provided Knabenshue could land without losing too much gas and the trip resumed after the Ar row returned to the concourse under Its own power
 When Captain Baldwin reached the Arrow the repairs were immediately started and in less than an hour the

 as though the long distance test would

 After the Arrow had disappeared

The atmosphere had been hazy all afternoon and 1t did not take | long before the California Arrow was

 it would entail too great a loss of time

 had been taken 25 pounds of ballast and which was not even encountered
