JOY riders from Eastern Point had
narrow escape from serious injury
early Saturday morning, and the few
persons cogniZant of the fact have
been pledged to secrecy as to the iden-
THY of the four riders, two chauffeurs
and two young women, the latter said
20 be residenS of New London. The
party were riding in a big touring
car, registered in Pennsylvania, and
had been to Watch Hill. On the re-
turn trip the chauffeur in charge of
the car, wandered from the main high
way and Travelled along on the Bethel
road to Quincy HILL While skimming
along at the rate of nearly forty miles
an hour, the rear tire of the forward
wheel was punctured and the big ma
chine made sudden whirl. The two
the chauffeurs, accustomed to automo
bile riding, retained their seats in the
car.
One of the women struck on her
head, cutting a deep CASH She was
rendered unconscious, and did not re-
gain her senses until nearly o'clock
Saturday morning, or about three
hours after the accident. The other
woman was cut and bruised in the
|, right leg, but not severely injured.
The injured women were taken into
a house in Granite street, where they
were attended by a physicians. The
chauffeurs declared that as bad as
was the mishap, that ordinarily it
would have been even worse, for usu-
ally when a tire gives out, at Such
high speed and on a down grGde, the
result is the overturning Of the ma
chine.
While the physician was attending
to the injured woman, the chauffeurs
were busy doctoriEg the damaged ma
chine. They Were anxious to get back
to Eastern Point, before their en-
ployers note& their absence. and they
started Oh the return trip shortly after
Tour O'Clock. AS one of the women
probably sustained conclusion of the
brain, it is likely that there will be
another chapter of this particular joy
ride.

Good Reading for Today.

NEW YORK, June GA glance
at the log of the Red Cross liner
Fiorizel, which got in yesterday
from St.s Johns, would interest
those who are suffering from the
present hot spell.
Up in the neighborhood of Nova
Scotia the vessel passed close to
some 1000 icebergs This is the
number estimated by the skipper,
Capt. Clark, who counted fifty-six
berss in minute and then got
tired and estimated the number in
view. Some of the bergs were
about 20o feet high and 1000 feet
long. this again according to the
shippers estimate.
The strange story of a wise whale
was told by Daniel Webster. a pas
senger. Mr.. Webster said that the
Florizel sighted a school of whales
June -. Five playful ones fol-
lowed the vessel all day They
were lost in the fog that came up
in the evening, and next morning
only one was playing about the
vessel. 1t continued in the ships
company until later in the morn
ing, when the Florizel sighted a
vessel that looked like whaler
The whale sighted the vessel at the
same time, and Immediately made
off for safer parts.
He was d knowing whale said
Mr.. Webster, who added, Il do be-
lfeve he winked at us as he headed
away from that whaler"

Snowballing IN Harlem.

NEW YORK, June 25.-'.Better
street and Broadway" was the
message which came over the tele-
phone from police headquarters to
Lieut.. McDermott in the West 125th
street police station just before 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when
the heat was most oppressive.
There's a fellow there says a cou-
pie of kids are snowballing him. He
must be crazy
McDermott called Detectives Wolf
and Fraser from the back room,
where they We're sitting in shirt
sleeves, with collars off.
Get your clothes on, boys, and go
up to both street." said he, and he
told them of the man and the
snowballs.
The detectives went, but soon
came back without a prisoner. Nc
Dermott looked surprised, and he
felt even more so when Fraser said,
wearily:
It's all right, We chased the
boys away"
Wolf nodded assent to this, and
the detectives started for the rear
room. McDermott watched them
and then called the doorman.
Both of 'em overcome by the
heat" he told that official. We'll
have to be careful with EN-
The doorman went back to look
the detectives over. Presently he
came out to the desk laughing.
They're all right" he told Me
Dermott. Don't you remember
those packing houses up there on
Broadway. Well. they cleaned out
the refrigerating pipes and some
youngsters really were making
snowballs out of the frost that
came off the pipes

ADVOCATES USE OF WATER
Mr.. Macfarland Foresees Results
From High Pressure System.

The flushing of the streets during this
kind Of weather, with consequent cool
ing of the atmosphere Of the city, would
be made possible by the high-pressure
water system, said Commissioner Mac
farland this morning, In pointing out
this further argument in favor of the
high-pressure system primarily for fire
protection.
The Commissioner declared that even
under the present system the water and
street cleaning departments might do
something toward wetting the streets
and adding to the relief of the swelter-
ing residents along the asphalts. The
matter will be further taken up by the
Commissioners, with a view to determin-
ing IL anything can be done.

AIRSHIP MAY FLY LATE TODAY
EVEN CHANCE FOR A TRIAL AT
FORT MYER.
Wright Brothers Making No Prom
ises, But Are Anxious for Early
Test of New Machine.

! There is chance that the Wright aero
plane will fly at Fort Myer this after
noon about d o'clock. This is not GER
as one can come. The Wrights are
averse to making promises, probably be-
cause the fewer they make the less there
will be to break OrviIe Wright said
late yesterday that there was positively
no chance of a flight this forenoon. Re-
gardins this afternoon he would only say
that they were working as fast as they
could and were anxious to have flight
as soon as possible
There have been more preparations
made for the flights this year than last,
as there probably will be larger crowd.
Posts have been set and preparations
made for roping off the flying grounds,
while there will be large detachment
of cavalry on hand to see that spec
tators respect the bounds. The mono
is the work of only about an hour. and
it probably will be the last thing done
prior to bringing out the machine.
Delay Due to Engine.
Much of the delay SO far has been due
to engine trouble. as the engine of the
machine was very roughly handled by the
and tried out again before it was safe
to use it, The front horizontal rudders
were put in place today and the machine
now looks entirely ready for business.
Preparations for the comfort of distin-
guished visitors have been made in erect
ing series of tent fly awnings at the
north end of the flying field. 1t is expect
ed that President Taft will be on hand
to see the official trials either tomorrow
or early next week.
The course for the speed trial has not
yet been selected. 1t was stated yester-
day that this probably would not be done
till at least one trial flight had been
made. When this is done one or both
of the Wrights will go over the surround
ing country in an automobile and see the
lay of the land. 1t Is even possible that
larger circles may be made around Fort
Myer in the aeroplane itself, as that will
be one of the most satisfactory ways of
observing the country. This sort of
with some risk, and as there is big con-
tract at stake the aviators are not likely
to take many chances.
No Word From Herring.
1t was stated at the War Department
today that nothing further had been
heard from A. M. Herring, the other fly
ing machine contractor. He stated posi-
lively in his recent application to the
War Department that he would be able
to complete his trials before July 1, but
in view of the short time left the Off
cials of the department have not much
hope of seeing him. 1t is, of course, pos
sible that he will put in an application
for an extension at the last moment, as
that has been his practice on all previous
occasions.
There is, of course, possibility that he
may show up at the last moment with a
Curtiss machine. Curtiss is his business
partner and has been making some trial
flights in new machine at Norris Park,
n. Y. None of these has been longer
than ten minutes, and there is, of course,
a question whether the machine could
come up to the endurance test, though
unofficial reports say that 1t is very
speedy in short flights

Little Red Hen Lays Big Eggs

Pherson on his farm near Mcpherson
station. on the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis trolley line,has a little red
hen game which is trying to make a rec
ord for laying big eggs. This hen seems
to think that because she is small is
no reason that turkeys and ducks should
produce bigger eggs. In order to turn
out eggs as big as those of the larger
fowls she has resorted to putting tive
eggs in one shell. She has been work
ing at full time in the last two days,
laying double-yolk egg each day. The
first of these measured three and one
fourth inches in length and the recond
was only n small fraction less than
three inches.
