Special Cableeram to The Star.
DONCASTER, October 26.-Leon Della
grange made new worlds record at the
aviation meeting which closed here today.
In the race for the tradesmen cup, flying
in a Bleriot monoplane. he covered a
mile and $50 yards in minute and
Al ID seconds. Altogether, he made a
fight of four miles and $40 yards, which
he covered in minutes 20 % seconds.
When told of the flight of Leon Della
grange at Doncaster. England, today, re-
sulting in the breaking of the world S
record in a Beriot aeroplane by attaining
a speed of nearly fifty-four miles an
hour, Wilbur Wright, at College Park,
shook his head and remarked that 1t
was probably a straightaway course with
an eighteen-mile wind at his back. The
Bleriot monoplane. said Mr.. Wright,
could not make that speed in an official
test with turn, going with the wind
one-half the distance and against 1t the
other half. He was convinced that the
test was not official, because the dis
tance covered was neither an even num-
ber of miles nor kilometers.

There were twenty-nine children and

is regarded as a miracle that more than
half of them were not incinerated, for

enveloped in flames when discovered by

When she discovered the blaze she has

fered dislocated shoulder, sprained
back and a painful wound on her scalp.
She will recover. Only one of the res
cued girls was injured. and she sustained
sprained ankle by jumping.
No Men to Help.
The nursery was located on the second
| floor of the wing Of the building, and the
five children could have been rescued had
, there been any men nearby. DIR. r. H.
Fleming. the superintendent, was away
at the time. One little girl, Ruby Moore
field, who had been taken out on the roof
OF the veranda, found her younger sister
was inside the building and returned to
get her. Both of them perished.
The insurance on the building and con-
tents is $1,000. The building was donated
by Mrs. F. X. Burton Of Danville as a
memorial to her father. The BOYS home
was located several hundred yards from
the girls home. and was not endangered.
The fire burned the cooking and dining
departments of the institution, and the
twenty-four surviving girls are being
cared for in the homes of nearby River
mont residents.
There seems to be no doubt but the fire
was started by the furnace from which
the building was heated There was no
time to save anything. and a fire depart
ment would have been of no avail The in
stitution was established about seven
years ago, and was just getting on a good
financial basis. President Caskie today
made an appeal for help.
