MENT IN SUCCESS OF AERO
PLANE FLIGHT AND DIRIGIBLE
BALLOON RACE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The air
today was conspicuous element in
the Hudson-Fulton celebration. The
eyes of New York and her million
guests were turned from naval dis
play in Hudson towards the blue sky
where before the day was over they
hoped to see the aeroplanes of Will
bur Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss. 1t
had been announced however that
flights would not be made today un-
less the weather conditions were ia
vorable, and a stiff breeze from the
northwest out to sea made prospects
far from encouraging. Adverse winds
made it practically certain that the
race of dirigible balloons from New
York to Albany would not be started
today. Palisade Park stretching
fourteen miles along New Jersey side
north from Fort Lee and tall shaft
erected to the memory of Henry Hud-
son -ons Spuyten aDuvill hill in the
Bronx were dedicated today
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.--At the
official reception and ). literary exer-
cises at the Metropolitan Opera house
tonight. held as a part of the Hud-
son-Fulton Celebration, an invoca-
tion was made by the Right Rev.
David H. Greer, Bishop of New York,
as follows:
Almighty God, our heavenly
Father, In whom we live and move
and have our being, and by whose
might the pioneers in the wilderness
didst lead the way of empire; We
humbly approach Thee with praise
and thanksgiving for all that Thou
hast done for the children of men.
Especially do we thank Thee for the
gifts vouchsafed to that discoverer
and inventor whose achievements we
are moved at this time to commence
rate. And while we mediate in
grateful homage on our debt to Thee
through these, thy servants, who by
their brave persistence in enduring all
things didst extend to us the benefits
of navigation. We pray that Thou
will give us the understanding heart
to know that thine is the power
which makes and moves the wheels
of progress. Prosper all research
that delves more and more deeply
into the mine of knowledge and
strengthen our grasp of the truth,
that without Thee our labor is but
lost. Bless our land with honorable
industry, sound learning and pure
manners. Fashion into one happy
people the multitudes brought hither
of many kindred, and tongues. Endow
with the spirit of wisdom those whom
we entrust in thy Name with the au-
thority of governance, that all things
may be so ordered and settled by
their endeavors upon the best and
surest foundations that peace and
happiness, truth and justice, religion
and piety, may be established among
us for all generations. Bind the ma
tions of the earth in the bonds Of
brotherhood and peace; make wars
to cease and Righteousness to reign.
In the time of prosperity fill our
hearts with thankfulness; and in the
day of trouble suffer not our trust in
Thee to fail. All which we ask for
His sake, Who has taught us to say,
Our Father, who are in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name. Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done on
earth, as it is in heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread. And for
give us our trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass agaist us. And
