Seven AviatOrS Enter
/ N. Y. To Chicago Race

NEW YORK, July 16.-J. Olieslaeg-
ers, the Belgian aviator. who recent
ly carried off the speed and height
prizes at the aviation meets In He'll
opolis, Egypt, Nice and Bologna, has
entered the New York Times-Chicago
Evening Post aeroplane race which
will start from Chicago on Oct. for
a purse OF $4,000. This makes the
seventh formal entry since the condi-
tons we're announced on July s.
The other entries are Charles K.
Hamilton, Glenn II. Curtiss or repre-
sentative, Capt. Thomas A. Baldwin,
J. C.. Mars. Oscar p. Hellings and j.
A. ID. McCurdy, a Canadian. Hubert
Latham, who Is to represent France
in the contest for the international
speed trophy at Garden City, l.. l., on
Oct. %, has already cabled that IL he
can get a reliable machine for such
long cross country race he may com
pete.
NJ. Olieslaegers will probably en-
ploy a Bleriot monoplane in the Chi
cago-New York race. This makes the
first probable monoplane entry in this
contest. This will make the contest
the first In the United States In which
aeroplanes OF one and twosurface
types have competed with each other
and the first cross-country contest in
the world in which the monoplane has
fought It out with the bi-plane.
Charles X. Hamilton was greatly
pleased to learn of the entry OF NJ.
Olieslaegers. He Is hoping that more
OF the foreign experts may see fit to
enter. He blievs that there will be
some surprises in store for these for
eigners and that the American peo-
pie will find that the aviators OF this
country are at least the equals OF the
best the old world can furnish.
Our people don't realize" he said
last night, that American aviators
have done more cross-country flying
than the aeronauts of any other ma
ton, particularly when the compare
tive scarcity OF our flyers Is taken
into account
Most OF the notable stays In the
air that have been made In this coun-
try have been made in cross-country
flights; this is Just the opposite to
European methods. For instance, my
fight from New York to Philadelphia
of one hour and so minutes was
across Sc miles OF deep water, cities
and towns, and rough country. The
records recently set up at Rheims,
where 220 miles was covered In one
continuous fight, saw the aviators
wheeling around a course Just two
and one-half miles In circumference
The effect OF flying over such ground
as that, as compared with travel over
such diversified country, should be
taken into account.
The aviator who is touring above
fine landing ground has hardly any
mental strain at all. Flying across
country. however, the aviator must
have every sense alert for engine
trouble and he must be able to sense
good landing places even before he
has a chance to see them"

NO DESIRE TO
BLOCK THE PEOPLE
~. l.. HUDSON.
Move in Court Against NJ. o. Plan Is,
He Says, Simply To Establish
Legality Of Election.

II don't want to be considered az

attitude Is a petitioner for a writ OF
mandamus against submission OF the
Moore amendment II believe In ma.
jority rule, but / doubt In my own
want the matter decided before we
go to the expense OF an election and
the inevitable legal tangle that would
follow. II IL question to me whether
the city can obligate itself for the
amount of bonds called for by the
Moore plan.
'Of course the case will be taken
to the supreme court for final de-
cision; but every effort will be made
to get speedy action, so that II the
mandamus In finally denied, the peo-
pie will be able to vote on the PROPOSE.
ton this fall"
Il can see noting In the mandamus
proceedings TO prevent an election on
the Moore plan except an effort to pre-
vent the people from voting on the
proposition by any means" said
George William Moore. author OF the
amendment. Friday afternoon. THE
petition seeks to prevent an election
on the ground that the Hally act and
the Moore plan are unconstitutional,
but the petition does not point out In
what respect either is unconstitutional
or even defective.
The Hally law has been frequently
sustained by the supreme court, and II
would be strange II II contained a de-
feet that 1t had not been pointed out
long ago. The pleaders should point
out the alleged unconstitutionalities
especially in this case, as the Hally
plan has been frequently sustained.
THE Moore plan has been prepared
with some care. The initiative Is new
in this state, but | examined. think,
every reported case in other states
that have the initiative, and the plan
as presented seems to conform to the
words and spirit OF our new constitu-
ton and the decisions of the other
states.
Until the petitioners are more spe-
cific, | do not see that there is any
thing more to say"
II is thought in the city hall that
the attack on the constitutionality or
the Hally home rule act will not be
pressed.

bR0OK|Ns WILL
FLY AGAIN TO-DAY
Engine Goes Back on Him in Attempt
To Break Record For Altitude,
Held by Himself.

Although the most inaccessible OF
all the events Of the cards for Friday.
the aviation exhibition at the State
Fair grounds was one OF the best
patronized attractions OF the after
noon and one that was really worth
while. Remarkably successful flights
were made by Arch Hoxsey, Duval La
Chappelle and Walter Brookins, and
the program came to a thrilling close
when Brookins' engine went back on
him with the plane more than 400 feet
In the air. He was equal TO the emer-
gency and brought the machine grace
fully TO earth amid the plaudits OF the
crowd.
Brookirs' arrival, Friday. has result
ed IN the meet being continued an
other day. Saturday afternoon he
will try for new altitude record. The
sanction OF the proper authorities has
been secured to make IL Official and
the instruments required to mark the
altitude are expected TO arrive Sat
urday morning.
BrooKins' fight. which came at the
very close of Fridays program, was
one OF the prettiest yet. From the
moment he left the ground the nose
OF his plane was pointed upward and
as he cIrcled around the field In front
OF the grandstand the machine con-
tinued to mount upward steadily until
IL reached a height OF between 400
and 500 feet. Then the engine gave
out and Brookins came down, OF neces-
sity.
Arch Hoxsey made a tremendous
hit with the crowd In two flights dur
ing the afternoon. His engine was III
perfect order and the plane was at
ali times under his control as he made
the circuit OF the mile track, now soar
ing far above the field then diving low
after the fashion of a bird and skim
ming along scarcely foot above
ground He kept to the track mucn
OF the time. Twice he stopped his
engine in front Of the stand and III
each instance made very graceful
landing. Mr.. Hoxsey left Friday night
for Grand Forks, s. ID. La Chappelie
stays over and will take part In the
exhibition Saturday afternoon, anu
will carry passenger.
Spectators received full value for
their money when in the closing
minutes of the exhibition. the two
planes were In the air at the same
time, one manned by Brookins and the
other by Hoxsey.
Only one minor accident married the
flights. outside of the failure OF
Rrookins' engine. At the beginning
OF Hoxsey's second flight, one OF the
temporary skids of the starting rail
few UP and struck the rudder, just as
the plane was leaving the ground.
Hoxsey landed to make sure that no
damage had been done and then dart
ed M again.
Between flights Leo Broker kept
the crowd amused with his wind
wagon. There was close race be-
tween the wind wagon and motor
cycle, the latter winning out by a
margin Of inches.
