FAR MAN STAYS LIT
TOO STRONG A WIND TO TRY
HIS WINGS YESTERDAY.

NEW YORK, August 1.-Six thousand
people who gathered at Brighton Beach
race track this afternoon to witness the
first public flight of Henri Farman's
heavier-than-air flying machine were dis
appointed, as high wind prevented the
flight.
1T would be suicide to attempt to fly
with gale such as this blowing" said
Mr.. Farman, who appeared to be more
disappointed than any one else.
The flight had been planned for 4:3O
o'clock. At that hour the wind was blow
ing from thirty to forty miles an hour.
AS time dragged by the crowd became
impatient, SO Farman had his mechanics
wheel it in front of the starting point.
Hundreds of persons inspected the
strange looking machine.
1t was 1870 O'Clock when Farman
finally determined not to attempt flight.
He announced that the first public flight
will take place Monday afternoon. 1t is
probable that the unsatisfactory weather
conditions will last Sunday, but it is
hoped that by Monday the wind will have
died down.
Scores of prominent aeronauts from all
over the country were at the track this
afternoon; among them Israel Ludlow,
who was crippled some time ago while
experimenting with his airship, kitel!ke
arrangement somewhat similar to Far
mans, but lacking the motor md pro-
pellor wheel. Ludlow was wheeled into
the track on chair and was almost the
last person to leave.
Mrs. Farman cried when she found
that her husband would have to abandon
the idea Of making a flight today.

Policeman Meets With Mishap
While Assisting in Arrests.

Policeman Williams of the third pre-

last night while pursuing alleged crap
shooters across the flats near the foot
of 22d street. He went to the flats with
Sergt Brown and Policemen Swain and
Gaffney just after shutdown and found
a party of six colored men, it is charg-

The several men in uniform picked
their way over the soft ground to reach
the sextet before the latter could dis
cover them and get away. and just
after flushing the alleged gamblers Will

the mud and had considerable difficulty
in getting out. Jesse Henson, Elton
Garner and James Hill were the names
given by the men who were arrested.
