Scars Over Measured Course at
Hampstead Plains,
PROCEEDS TWENTY-FIVE MILES
Qualities as the First Candidate for
Cup Offered by the Scientific
American.

MINEOLA, y. Y..-July IA climax to
the aeroplane flights Glenn III. Curtiss has
been making at Hampstead Plains, l.. l.,
with increasing success came. today when
he sent his flyer twenty-four and seven
tenth miles, in 81 minutes and 30 Sec
onds, and qualified as the first candidate
for the cup offered by the Scientific Amer
lean.
This flight is not only Curtiss; best, but
is the longest made with an aeroplane in
America this year. The cup for which
the aviator tried today was, offered for
the longest fight of this kind during the
current year, the only condition being
that the winner must cover at least twen-
ty-fve kilometers over a measured course
before judges of the Aero Club Of Ameri-
can. and land within 100 meters of the
starting point. Curtiss came to earth
today barely within the required dis
tance. but the Judges decided that he
had complied with all the terms of the
competition. He will win the Scientific
American cup, which he also captured
last year at Hammondsport, n. Y, unless
his flight is excelled before the end OF
the year.
Machine Well in Hand.
The flight, although made at an early
| morning hour was Witnessed by a crowd
of nearly 1000 persons. Curtiss rose
easily and circled the course at variety
| of attitudes, which showed he had his
| ma chine well In hand. At times his
speed increased to forty-five miles al
hour, but the average for the whole dis
tance was twenty -eight and .one-quarteI
miles an hour. At no time did he rise
above sixty feet. and most of the time
| he sped along within fifteen or twenty
feet of the ground.
At the beginning of the twentieth round
| he encountered a strong headwfnd and,
| fearing that his gasoline would fail be-
| fore he could make another round, he
shut off his motor and descended. After
alighting he found that he still had two
| quarts of fuel left. enough to have car

landt Field Bishop, president of the Aero

ney Of one kilometer 81 of a mile over

white flags at the turning points. There
was no fog this morning, but the breeze
was too strong for ideal conditions. and IL
freshened as the day advanced. The speed

INDIAN BLANKETS
  NAVAJO AND PERUVIAN
Something at 6aIke's Big curio Store Worth Going to See.

On account of the cut price sale at Balke's Big Curio store the run on the Navajo blanket stock has been so heavy that the supply was in danger of exhaustion It was saved by the arrival yesterday of a new lot, not a large one. The new blankets have a back ground of gray with black, enlivened with a touch of red, a combination of colors which has been greatly in demand as blank cts of these somber hues do not clash with the dull Turkish rugs with which so many are now using them
 The gray of the Blankets is a mix ture of the natural white and black woois, the only dye used being the red. This stock will not last long so that those who wish to avail themselves of the last blanket op- portunity of the season should hurry.
 There Is something else at the Big Curio store which Is destined to att tract a great deal of attention-a fur blanket, in fact two Of them, which were received yesterday The prices may be a little startling at the be- ginning. One of them was sent to be sold at s250 and the other at s200, but they will be sold at exactly half price.
 These blankets are made by the Incas, a tribe of Peruvian Indians of the skins of the yicuna, 'an ani- nal found in the higher Andes, re- lated to the llama and the alpaca. Its wool is much fine- than that of either of the others, so fine in fact that it is indistinguishable from fur. The blankets are made of small pieces of skin pieced together by sinews, but on the fur side there is no appearance of the iointure. The blankets are unlined so that one can see precisely how they are made. One of them Is white and the othet white with a black border.
 It is true, that everybody cannot afford a vicuna blanket, but those who can. have an opportunity to buy something beautiful at price cheaper than one of these blankets was ever before sold in this country.

NARRATIVE is
NOT COPYRIGHTED

New York, Sept. I.-Judge Hand.
In the United States circuit court, set
tied a novel legal controversy today
bearing on Commander Robert e.
Peary's discovery of the north pole In
favor OF the New York Sun and the
New York World, defendants in a pro-
cess brought by the New York Times.
The Times had obtained a temporary
injunction restraining the Sun and
World from printing any of Peary's
cabled account of his discovery, which
he had agreed to furnish exclusively
to h Times. but the court held that
the Times copyright was not legally
hole proof and dissolved the restrain
ing rder.
The Sun and World on Thursday OBJ
tained by way of London, where it
appeared in the London Times by
agreement with the New York Times,
a verbatum account of Peary's brief
resume OF his discovery and printed 1t
here. Immediately the Times took
legal steps to stop this, but has failed
so far as Judge Hands decision goes.
A copy Of Peary's contract, which
was submitted to the court, set forth
that the explorer received $4,000 from
the newspaper, to be considered as q
loan, which was to be repaid out of
h proceeds Of the Times syndicate
accounts of his discovery. Failing to
reach the pole, he was to refund the
full amount.
