Amid UnbOunded Jubilation of Thousands of
 French Spectators
SECOND DAY OF CONTESTS AT RHEIMS
Honors Divided with M Paulham Representing France Speed Record for the Course Lowered by the Ameri. can-Frenchman Made Two High Altitude Flights Curtss Awaits the Gordon Bennett Cup Event.

Rheims. France, Aug. 23-Glenn H. Curtiss. the American aviator and M. Paulham, representing France, divided the honors of the second day of avia- tion week, the former with a thrilling flight just before dusk in which he lowered the speed record for the course, which measures 1-5 miles to minutes 35 2-5 seconds, the latter making two impressive high altitude flights of 49 1-2 and 56 kllometers, re- spectively, in the endurance test for the Prix De La Champagne.
 "The American is Starting"
 Curtiss' performance began just as the time limit for the start of the Prix De La Champagne was expIrirg, when the American enthusiasts had aban- donel hope of seeing their representa- tive take the field. Amid unbounded jubilation of the French spectators, Bleriot only few minutes before had clipped 16 seconds off Lefebvre's rec ord, made yesterday, with his power ful so horse power monoplane. Sud denly at one end of the field a cry went up, The American is starting"
 Going at a Terrific Pace.
 All eyes were strained to that par ticular point, where Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of the Aero club of America, and a crowd cf .tit,r admir- CTS surrounded Curtiss After S preliin- mary run along the ground of 100 yards Che machine rose lightly and shot by the tribunes at a height of 50 feet. It was going at a terrific pace, with the wing level as a plain. Cur tiss made the last turn under the mis- taken impression that the finish line was closer He descended so close to earth that many thought he touched, but, perceiving his error, he mounted

quickly and easily, crossing the line bIJjestically. An instant later the slg- nal was hoisted that he had made a record.
 Did Not Push His Machine.
 Curtiss said that he did not push his machine to the limit of its speed, and laughingly declined to say more, add ing that the most interesting incident of his flight was the view he got of his fallen rivals strewn around the course.
 curtiss Will Try for Gordon Bennett
 Cup.
 It is the intention of the American aviator now to await patiently the in- ternational event for the Gordon Ben nett cup on Saturday, for which he is again the favorite, safter which he will try for the Prix De La Vitesse, the fin;l of which will be contested on Sunday
 Others Qualified With Short Flights.
 Paulham alone made record in the endurance test today, but Lefebvre, Summer, Sanchis- -Pesa, Bleriot, De La Varilla, Gobron, Latham, Tissandier and Baarman qualified with flights varying from 200 metres to 25 kilo- metres, the majority contenting them selves with covering sufficient dl-tance to get within the limit. During Paul. hams long flight chance races took place between him and Bleriot and Fefebvre, the two latter outspeeding the high flying Paulham. Bleriot ap- peared while Paulham was completing his fourth round and with his 80 horse power monoplane swiftly overhauled and passed the bi-plane, leaving'it far behind.

5LEAcHED FLOUR TO BE SEIZED. Agricultural Department Refuses to Stop Pending Test Case.

Washington, Aug. 23. -lhe requests of manufacturers of b!eached flour that no further seizures of bleached flour be made until a test case should have been decided were refused today, aft CT a conference between Wade Ellis, acting attorney general, and Dr. H. F. Dunlop of the pure food board of the agricultural department.
 The food experts of the agricultural department some time ago decided that bleached flour was a violation of the pure food laws, not so much on the ground of impurity, but because of all legged misbranding, and the agents of the department were instructed to make seizures. Counsel for the mill CTS, the largest of which are in Iowa and Nebraska, have been seeking to have the seizures discontinued until test case could be made and decided.
 The large millers of the Northwest stopped bleaching flour on Feb. 1. The hard wheat of the Northwest makes a white flour without bleaching, while the softer wheat of the Middle West does not produce such a white color when milled.
