cheered itself hoarse, probably out of
satisfaction that at least one could get
out of police headquarters after being
safely tucked away, apparently, by the
police.
Brindamour then to demonstrate his
ability in the handcuff line put on a
pair of Marshal Parmelee's latest gov
eminent regulation handouts and in a
few seconds his hands were again free.
Brindamour, who is an imposing
looking gentleman, has a very affable
manner. He submitted to being search
ed before being put in cell and in
every way tried to accommodate the
officers present and the members Of
the press with some idea of how he
accomplished the feat.
The police were much surprised at
the success of Brindamour as they
were pretty certain that Marshal Par
malees new government handouts
would be too much for him.

When I got too low to treat myself, 3
of my associate physicians advised me
to put my house in order for I would
be quickly going the way of all man

AMERICAN BALLOON WINS
Lieut.. F. P. Lahm Semi-0fficialIy
Declared the Victor.
5antos-Dumont Hurt-Seycn of Eff.
teen Competitors Who Started
From Paris Reached England.

Paris.-The Aero Club semi-oficial-
y announced that Lieutenant Frank
?. Lahm, of the Sixth United States
cavalry, n CT the American on
estants. was the victor in the first
competition for the James Gordon
Bennett Cup for international aero
iauts. Signor Vonwiller, of Italy,
With the Elf, was second, and Count
lie la Vaulx, of France, third. The
ace was started when fifteen bal
oons, representing seven countries,
iailed away from the Tuileries Car
lens in Paris. Seven of them reached
England.
The performance of Lahm and
Jersey in the balloon United States
n reaching fifteen miles north of
scarborough, England, is the best
,ecord attained by any one of the
fifteen starters. The members of the
Aero Club are inclined to believe that
he United States was only prevented
from proceedingfurthe becausea cur
;ent of air again threatened to carry
t out over the North Sea, with no
apparent prospect, unless the direc-
lion of the wind changed, of finding
land before making the coast of Nor
way.
Lieutenant Lahm descended. about
one mile inland at Desmene Farm.
Flyingdale. He said he had been
carried by way of Caen across the
channel to Chichester. The actual
crossing took from II o'clock at
night until 8 in the morning. He
then passed to the northward, but
finding that he was being carried to-
ward the open sea he decided to
alight. Owing to the dryness of the
moors his anchors at first would not
hold, and the balloon passed danger
ously near some farm building. The
balloon was in the air for twenty
three hours. Lieutenant Lahm is an
instructor in cavalry practice at West
Point, and with NJ. Santos-Dumont
represented the Aero Club of Amer
lea in the balloon contest. Mr.. Frank
Lahm, father of Lieutenant Lahm,
was to have sailed in the balloon
United States, but the Lieutenant re-
placed his father. Lieutenant Lahm's
balloon has a capacity of 1000 cubic
meters. Mr.. Lahm, Sr., although he
has lived in Paris for many years,
where he is recognized as one of the
leading merchants, IS an American by
birth.
In the meantime, news of an acct
dent to Santos-Dumont aroused gem
eral sympathy, the Brazilian being
very popular here, but his subsequent
arrival at the Aero Club with one
arm bandaged relieved the tension re.
garding the seriousness of his mis-
hap. He explained that the sleeve
of his coat caught in the mechanism
while oiling the motor of his balloon,
the flesh of his arm being torn. Later
the arm became numb and stiff with
the cold, and he had to descend to
have the wound dressed.
