NEW YORK. Sept. 27--water yielded
to air today as the most prominent ele-'
ment in the Hudson-F Fulton celebration.
The dazzled eyes Of New York and her
million guests turned from the naval
display In the Hudson toward the blue
sky patches above the tall buildings
where. before the day was over, they
Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss.
Early in the day the movement of
sightseers began toward the southern
extremity of Manhattan. Governors
Island was the goal. From the fiat
sandy acres recently made by filing
from the bottom of the harobr, the
aeroplanes of Wright and Curtiss were
expected to rise for their trips about
the harbor and up Il Hudson. 1t had
been announced, h gever. that tbs
flights would not be ade today unless
weather conditions W, re favorable, and
the stiff breeze that blew from the
northwest out to sea made the pros
meets for the aerial exhibition today
far from encouraging. Wilbur Wright
had promised, however that he would
a,.l if "a
wind would allow.
On the streets thousands watched
the towers OF the Singer, the Metropolis
tan aud newspaper office buildings and
the tall abutments of the Brooklyn and
Blackwells Island bridges for the code
flags that would tell whether or not
the aeroplanes we're likely to fly. and
at what time they should be looked for.
The adverse wind made IL necessary
to postpone the race of drigible bal
looms from New York to Albany for a
$4,000 prize. The alrships OF both
CAPTAIN Thomas s Baldwin and
George l.. Tomlinson were ready for
the race. Baldwin's balloon is made Of
gray SILK AMI rubber and is SO feet
long, with a diameter tapering from II
feet to Is feet. The car. Of bamboo,
spruce and metal, is 60 feet long, Tom
linson's machine is bright yellow and
slightly smaller than Baldwin's-S7 feet
long and from 16 to "A feet in diameter,
with car so feet long While Baldwin
has the stronger motor and the adj
vantage OF greater speed, Tomlinson's
machine Is lighter and offers less re-
sistanCe 10 the wind.
Students of history had their oppor-
tunlty today, when exhibitions bearing
in some manner upon the days of Hud
son and of Fulton opened at eighteen
different places in the city. The Amer
lean Museum of Natural History dis
played collection showing the life
and habits of the Indians of the Hud-
son river valley and Manhattan Island.
At the Metropolitan Museum of Art
more than 1870 works of old Dutch mas
tors had been added To the collection
of paintings In the botanical garden
of Bronx Park every plant that grew
here when Hudson arrived was marked
with the letter "H," ,"and at the ZOO
logical garden the Hudson Fulton nag
digenous to the Hudson river valley
played prints and books relating to
Hudson and Fulton.
While the warships had no official
TART IN today's program, their officers
and men were not idle. Elaborate
plans have been made for their enter
tanment throughout the week Today
General Leonard Wood was chief host
