 Wood made his ascension at o'clock this afternoon in. the presence of a thousand persons, As the balloon rose.. Wood unfolded an American flag, which he waved to the people below.
 Near Nutley. the balloon had risen to height estimated at 2.oo0 feet. and Wood decided to- descend, Cutting loose the rope that held the parachute to the balloon and eiutchIng the rope of his horizontal bar, Wood plunged downwards, Slowly the parachute opened and then with moderate speed continued the descent Nearing the earth, Wood saw that he would prob ably fall in the Passaic River, and. waving his nag as a last salute. he prepared for a plunge Into the water :.
 It was at this moment. while the parachute was only a hundred feet above the river, that d pun of air caught the heating. ffag and. wrapped 1t around woods leg. The aeronaut strug- Eled to free himself from its envelop- ing folds, but failed and with his iiEaba still bound by the flag, Wood plunged into the river.
