'FARHAM WINS THE PRIZE
ALL COMPETITORS DROP DOWN
WHILE HE FLIES TO
VICTORY.
Travels 111.7s Miles In 8 Hours,
Minutes and Sc 2-5 seconds.--is
Still Flying When official Race
Hour Is Over.

Bethany Aviation Field, Rheims.
Henry Farman, the English avl-
ator, a hitherto unknown quantity
in the aviation contest, in biplane OF
his own design, broke the worlds rec
ords for duration of flight and distance
in a heavier-than-air machine, and won
the grand prix de la champagne-tne
endurance testify a remarkable flight
officially recorded as $50 kilometers'
G11.7S miles,, in three hours, min
utes. Sc 2-5 seconds. He actually COW
cred an extra ten kilometers and re-
NAMED in the air ten minutes AFTER
1880 o'clock, the hour that the time
keepers, under the rules, ceased to
keep a record of the fight.
The other contestants finished In
the order named: Hubert Latham in
monoplane No. 20, 154 kilometers, 800
\metres time hours, Is minutes, 3 3-5
seconds; Louis Paulham, in vossin
Gplane, 131 kilometers; Count de
Ambou, biplane, 1l6 kilsmeters; HUI
bert Latham in monoplane No. IL,
III kilometers; NJ. Tissandier, biplane,
III kilometers; Roger Sommer, bi-
plare, so kilometers; M. Delegrange,
mon,plane, SO Kilometres; M. Bleriot,
monplane, 40 kilometers; Glen H.
Curtis, biplane, 80 Kilometres; M.
Lefebre, biplane, 81 kilometers.
Although Hubert Latham, with diff
! ferent Machine, took second and fifth
positions the aviation committee held
that he vas ineligible for two prizes
and AWARDED the fifth to M. Tissandier
and the sixth to M. Sommer.
Although Farman's brilliant record
as an aerollanist should have warned
the sharps that he was dangerous
competitor, lis victory was complete
surprise He had been preparing his
machine secretly and had not appeared
on the field except for few practice
flights and almost had been forgotten
Indeed, after he started about 1880
p. M, keeping dose to the ground
while Latham and others were soaring
in spectacular fashion high In the air
Fsrman attracted no attention until
he had flown so kilometers. Then sud
denly the watchers woke up and be
gan to make inquiries, only to discov
er that he had gone out carrying pc
troll enough for FIVE hour flight and
equipped with a self cooling revolving
motor built by the Gnome company
after his own design.
Round and round he went as regu
larly as clockwork, always hugging
the ground, taking no chances ant
avoiding any attempt at display.
Record after record fell before his
methodical flight. AS darkness came
lanterns were hung on towers, mark
ing the limits of the course and shon'
like beacons set for the ships at sea
The judges no longer could tell wheth
er the record breaking aeroplanis
was flying and the searchlight from
the grandstand could not pierce thu
gloom.
Finally at 1880 o'clock the announce
ment was made that the timing of thu
aeroplanist had ended under the rules
Ten minutes more and suddenly, GU
of the darkness, a ghostly thing ap
peared in front of the tribune ant
came to earth on the starting line.

Rolling Round the World.

London, Dec 8.-One of the most
unique pair of globe trotters that
have yet come under public notice
will soon be seen in America. having
engaged passage on a ship sailing for
New York next week. They are two
Italians and they are travelling around
the world in a barrel.
Their names are Vicinello Eugene
and Zanadi Attilius, and for wager
of $1,000 they are endeavoring to
circle the globe in a barrel three
yards long and about four feet in
diameter. They take turns, one man
rolling the barrel while the other
sits inside The conditions are that
they must get their food and cloth
ing by selling postcards in the towns
through which they pass. The men
say they began their journey 1t
Vienna last June The time to be
occupied in the attempt is twelve
years.

of Oregon and Colorado. The article
states:
Prices Are High.
Lovers of apples must be prepared
to pay good prices for tehir favorite
