Who's up now!
And still the records fall. Beachey
nut his dirigible over the course yes
terday In sos 1-5, a new record. 1t
looked as though Southern California
would boast all the aerial records worth
having should the meet continue much
longer.
The Gosh-Dill or Dill-Gosh machine
certainly got off the ground yesterday,
which is more than a good many nave
done. For first flight Hillary Beachy
made wonderful showing. His con-
troll was excellent, and had the engine
worked perfectly and the field been
clear it is likely that the landing would
have been made without accident.
The name of the Dill-Gosh machine
easily might be coined for an Aviation
week cuss word.
Curtiss' machine showed well de-
fined superiority over the heavier Far
man in the landings and ascents. No
squad of we'll trained athletes are
needed to bring the American aviator's
biplane to a stop.
The bulletin board at one time yester-
day afternoon read "Curtiss for speed"
Altogether unnecessary in view of rec
ords made during the past week.
Certain it is that the man who writes
the bulletins is no Englishman. Instead
of dropping his III he occasionally
adds an extra one for good luck. This
also caused more than one split in
finitive. No complaints, however, We're
heard from any of the aviators.
The surgeons and doctors who were
on duty yesterday had about as much
time as any other person on the
grounds for viewing the flights But
half n dozen minor cases were taken
care of at the hospital.
Two balloons, two dirigibles and two
biplanes were in the air at the same
time. Well may each aviator say ''Veni,
Vidi, Wei"
Aviation week has been productive
of more than one result. Some of the
nature fake stories which have been
perpetrated would make Ernest Thomp-
son Seton and others assume a nom
de plume for shame.
Through no fault of the mounted
police was the course thronged by a
mob of idly curious persons all after
noon. If everybody who asks is to be
granted one of the green diamonds why
not admit the general public to the
field? Half a dozen staff photographers
broke one of the ten commandments
when plates were developed last even
ing.
If the daring Frenchman keeps on he
soon will know the surrounding country
pretty well. We are uncertain whether
Pasadena or San Diego will be the ter
minus of today's exhibition. This also
| serves to keep the spectators in a state
of semi-suspense.
Maybe some of those machines which
have been kept under cover will hit
the high places today. Now or never.
Already they're talking of the 1911
with the gate receipts still uncounted
for the present record breaker.
If the band played "Marsellaise''
every time Paulhan made thrilling
| flight the French national air would be
| heard every afternoon at Domingue2
field from l until p. m. No intermis-
| sion, either.

PROF. LOWE TO EXPLAIN
HIS DlRIGIBLE BALLOON
CORTLAND Field Bishop to Be One of
Speakers at Aeronautical
Meeting

PASADENA, Jan. 19.-Courtlandt
Field Bishop, president of the Aero
Club of America. will speak at the
meeting in Lowe opera house Thursday
evening, when Prof. II. S. c. Lowe will
give the first public explanation of his
projected dirigible balloon. The meet
ing is open to the public. George
Wharton Janmes and others will speak.
Professor Lowe has already begun
work on his dirigible, for which he
claims a lifting power of twenty tons.
1t is upheld by a pear-shaped bag,
for which greater stability is claimed
than for the usual cigarshaped con-
tainer. From the bag is suspended
a boat-shaped car, with propellers at
each end One gives forward and back
ward motion, the other vertical move
ment
The principal new departure in the
balloon is the invention by Professor
Lowe of a new process for treating
silk, which ii is claimed will retain
gas for two months or more. An order
for this silk has been let with an east
ern manufacturer.

PRAISE DUE KElM FOR
HANDLING OF CROWDS
SpecisI Deputies at Aviation Field
Cause All Trouble to Speota-
tors Recorded

To the majority of the deputies who
have worked under the guidance OF
George Keim since the aviation meet
opened ten days ago there is a large
need of praise due. They have worked
early and late and have been faithful
in the performance of their duties.
Particularly is this true of Chief
Keim. whose position is not an easy
one to fill For a time he received
orders from half a dozen different
sources and was in a quandary what
to do. That he has survived the or
deal without loss of dignity or nerVout
prostration is a wonder to himsef
and his friends.
1t is the special deputy sherlH
clothed with a little brief authority
and armed with an umbrella STICK
who has made all the trouble, especial
Iv for newspaper men in the perform
ance of their duty. The regular dep
uties who were assigned to Aviation
field are trained in handling crowds
and so made no serious blunders. 1t
is the duty of any man assigned TO
police duty to protect, not harass,
those with whom he comes in contact
Some of the extra men showed by
their actions that they were not used
to appearing in public and certainly
not used to handling big crowds.
Curiosity, not criminality or de-
sire to break rules, lead most of the
spectators to attempt to get beyond
the police lines. Where the deputies
treated the spectators with courtesy
and respect and tried hard to protect,
there was little or no difficulty. Nhere
the reverse treatment was used there
has been trouble all the time. Chief
Keim tried earnestly to do what he
was told to do and what he saw as
his duty. If he failed at times it was
only the failure of human frailty. He
and all the men who aided him are
to be congratulated that no more ar
vests and so few mistakes We're made

HYMAN MEYERS AUDAClTY
WINS FAVOR OF MANAGER

Hyman Meyer, who plays the piano
so effective with the Orpheum road
show this week, plans to spend a few
days at Santa Catalina after the show
ends it's engagement here, and prior
to its journey TO salt Lake. Mr.
Meyer began his career as a public
entertainer at Avalon, when, some
years ago, he did stunts on the piano.
both at the hotel and in the tent city.
From there he went directly to New
York and won Martin Beck's favor
and approval by his sheer audacity.
On arriving at the metropolis Meyer
Immediately sought out Mr.. Beck,
whom he had never seen, and yet
whom, Of course, he knew by reputa-
ton. The rude office boy told Mr.
Meyer that Mr., Beck was busy" and
that seemingly ended it,
But Mr.. Meyer was resourceful. He
asked for the use of the telephone,
and secured it. From the outer office
he called up Mr. Beck in the latter S
sanctum and told him that a young
man named Meyer was en- route whom
Mr.. Beck would do well to engage
"Who are you?" asked the czar of
vaudeville.
Me? Pm Abe Erlanger."
Mr.. Beck sent word to his office boy
TO ADMIT young man named Meyer
the instant he appeared. Mr.. Meyer
followed the wondering and abashed
boy and entered The Presence.
what did Abe Erlanger tell you to
see me for?" began Mr.. Beck. Meyers
| nerve failed him-and he told the story
| of his subterfuge. Mr.. Beck laughed.
took it as a joke and listened to Mey-
er's performance. And Meyer has
| been a protege of Mr.. Beck ever since.
and has become a permanent feature
of the Orpheum road show
But l always have a strong affec-
tion for Catalina" said he yesterday,
"and always visit the island when /
come here"

REDONDO BEACH
GREETS PAULHAN
AVIATOR AND WIFE COURSE
OVER CITY
Spectacular Performance Viewed in
Wonderment, and Noisy Demon
stration Is Accorded Man
and Woman in Flight
Especial to The Herald. ]

REDONDO BEACH, Jan. 19.-Paul-
han has been unselfishly applauded for
his many daring feats in aviation and
has received great ovations wherever
he has appeared in his wild side trips
of exploration, but none has been more
heartfelt, more sincere, than the greet
ing he got when he and Madame Paul
han visited Redondo Beach this after
noon. 1t is true he was here but a
few moments but during that time the
citizens turned out almost to the last
one to wave a word of. welcome and
wish the plucl1y Frenchman, sailing
high above their heads, the best of luck.
The arrival of PauIhan here was un-
announced. He came suddenly and his
departure was delayed only long
enough to make the flight the full
length of the city. His appearance on
the horizon to the east of Redondo
Beach was discovered by a few loiter-
ers on the street corners and the news
quickly spread. Every one knew it
was Paulhan; it could have been none
else. for 1t is Paulhan who has fur
nished most of the spectacular per-
formances of the aviation meet.
Practically the entire population
came out upon the streets, into their
yards and on the tops of buildings to
watch the flight of the biplane. The

HARRISON TO TRY
FOR HEIGHT MARK
PILOT AND OWNER OF NEW
YORK GO UP TODAY
THREE VOYAGES THROUGH AIR
MADE YESTERDAY
Oakland Man Says Women Folk
Chased Him Across Country and
Wanted Him to Beat
1000 Feet

George b Harrison. the well known
California balloon pilot and Clifford B.
Harmon, owner of the New York, will
ascend today in an attempt to break the
worlds altitude record of $4,000 feet.
while l do not believe that We will
do much better than 10000 feet said
Harrison yesterday evening. 1--WE shall
al any rate estab blish a coast record
which, / believe, will remain unchal-
Hanged for some time to come
The balloon New York, which was
badly ripped Tuesday, has been repaired
and will be in first class condition.
Three balloonists took advantage of
yesterdays perfect weather and the
Peoria. City of Los Angeles and the
Dick Ferris left Huntington Park yes
terday afternoon. The persons in each
of the three balloons experienced what
each pilot declared was one of the most
perfect trips of the week.
Saw Country at Best
Leaving Huntington Park at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. the City of Los An
geles. with George r. Harrison as pilot,
remained in the air about an hour and
a half, descending near the Laguna
ranch. No great elevation was reached
and only ten miles were covered, but
the scenic beauties were those of Cali
fornia del Sur at its best.
Harrison took took with him in the
basket Judge Willis of the Los Angeles
superior court, n. NJ. Stearns and H. &.
Hickman. The balloon was anchored
on the Laguna ranch, so that a MOON
light trip might be made. Fog pre-
vented this, although it is probable
that an ascent will be made early this
morning.
With ]. C. Mars in command. the
Dick Ferris made an extended flight
occupying four and one-half hours.
Mrs. Jessie Kingsland, Miss Drake
Lowry and Mrs. Mars were in the
basket with the pilot, and when the
descent was accomplished Pilot Mars
declared that the trip was at the same
time one of the most strenuous and
beautiful of his experience.
Women Guests Fractious
81 almost had to let them handle the
balloon declared Mars yesterday even
ing. First they wanted me to try for
the altitude record, and when / told
them that I would have to go about four
times as high as we were not one was
daunted. We went to within about five
miles of the ocean, and then they
wanted me to take them out over the
Pacific. 1t was fierce. When they
found out that I was preparing to
descend, after having Travelled many
miles and attained an elevation of 1000
feet, a cry to heaven was heard.
Finally we passed a farmhouse, which
proved my salvation. The woman Of
fered us some dinner if We would come
down, and on this preteXt a landing
finally was effected
Pilot Frank j. Kanne took the Peoria
over the city of Los Angeles toward
Ocean Park at an altitude of about
5000 feet. When the balloon came back
a landing was effected at Sixteenth
street and Western avenue, and the
pilots sister Miss Gertrude Kanne.
Burt Sutton and Mrs. John ]. Foy were
given a taste of high life. The balloon
camc down about $50 p. m. near the
city limits.

A. Kingsley Macomber, Now in France
Expects to Make Trial Flights

PASADENA. Jan. ia. Kingsley
Macomber, son-in-law of L. V. Hark-

first Pasadenan to purchase an aero
plane. Mr.. Macomber is now IN
France. where he has spent the last
two years, and has bought @bleilo. @

that il is doing much more consistent
work than the biplane in Europe and
that he much prefers it.
Mr. Macomber has not yet secured
delivery of his craft, the demand Tor

He was up about fifteen minutes,
Curtiss announced yesterday that he
would begin at once the construction
of a new biplane, which viii be heav-
Ter than any he has built so far ana
that he will enter the machine in
trials for altitude and endurance. The
four-cylinder Curtiss engine will be
used.
e. Foucher, representing Curtiss'
appeared before the Venice chamber
of commerce last night and offered to
hold a week of aviation events, IN
which only Curtiss machines would
appear, for $4,000. The offer was tabled
for the time being.
Today will be the last day of the
aviation meet. The program prob
ably will be the best of the entire
eleven days. for Paulhan will try Tor
the endurance record now held by
Henri Farman. Hamilton will try for
the altitude record and Curtiss will
attempt to lower his speed records.

FEELS NO FEAR
SAILING IN AIR
ARROW GIRL DESCRIBES BAL
LOON FLIGHT
"pIcK FERRIS" SCARS TO HEIGHT
OF 1000 FEET
Time and Trouble Left Behind, Giving
Way to Intense Feeling of Sat-
isfaction and Sense of
Security

I'm going to make the boss give
me an office on the top floor after this,
for I want to be just as near the skies
as I can get" was the enthusiastic
exclamation of NJ. A. Hamburgers
famous Arrow girl of Paris, New York
and Los Angeles, as she left the big
wicker basket of the Dick Ferris bal
loon after a flight into the skies that
lasted six hours and took them to an
elevation of 1000 feet. And it only
seemed as if 1 were gone six minutes
she added breathlessly."
Goes Far Above Clouds
The Arrow girl of Hamburger's, a
character of the big white store, was
accompanied on her flight by Pilot and
Mrs. ]. c. Marrs, Mrs. George Deusler
and Miss Drake Lowry. Bearing its
distinguished little company the Dick
Ferris left the Huntington Park
grounds at 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon and scared majestically above
the crowds, higher and higher, until to
the persons below she dwindled to a
mere dot and was lost among the
clouds. For hours they drifted with
the currents and eddies in the sea Of
air, covering miles of territory as
rated below, until the cold blasts
warned them they were over the sea-
and despite the pleadings of the Arrow
girl, who desired to go out over the
water, Pilot Marrs steered an inland
course. and as night approached and
the moon came out they followed its
silvery light to the earth and landed
near Dominguez at I o'clock.
Wants to Buy Balloon
The Arrow girl could not have been
more enthusiastic with her trip "The
first $1,000 I get I'm going to invest in
balloon" she said. Il don't want
an airship; We will leave those for
Paulhan and Curtiss, but I want a
balloon. l have always been told that
the landing of balloon was jarring to
your nerves and that you hit the earth
with a isagreeable bump. It is not
true. We glided and settled on the
grass as if the earth had been cush-
ioned to meet us. When you are in
the air a delightful soothing feeling
creeps over you. You leave your trou-
bles behind. There are no cares, no
worries, just an intense feeling Of
satisfaction that cannot be equaled.
AS a rest cure a balloon fills the bill
When you are leaving the earth the
earth leaves you. and not you the
earth, as it is in reality. While we
were thousands of feet in midair a
sensation came over me as if without
fear l could have climbed out of the
basket and trod the air, peacefully
soothingly and floated about at ease
and will.
There were none of us afraid. On
the contrary we munched bonbons and
didn't care if we ever got back"

AVIATION MEET FOR CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Fifty Chicago
men now possess heavier -than-air ma
chimes according to promoters of the
Illinois Aero club, which was incor-
ported at Springfield yesterday. The
club will conduct exhibitions and OBJ
tain the national aviation meet for
Chicago in June. if possible The Of

course of Paulhan was northward
toward Herlnosa Beach, then back
close to the shore, but at height OF
about 300 feet, directly south until CllI-
ton-by-the- Sea was reached Then
the machine cut across the hills toward
aviation field.
When Paulhan and his wife viewed
the upturned faces of the people OF Re-
dondo Beach, gazing in Wonderment
at the sight of the most up-to-date
means of travel in practical demon
stration before them, they waved their
hands gayly. and the answer came
with the flirting of many handker-
chiefs, hands and hats, and the cheer
that swept upward from two thousand
throatS.
Whistles Blow Greeting
Every available steam whistle in the
CITY. including those of the vessels in
the harbor, added its note to the loud
applause for Paulhan worlds con-
ol1eror of the air, and the echo died
away only with the disappearance of
the aeroplane far in the distance above
the hills.
The degree of liveliness infused into
the city could have been accomplished
by no other agency. 1t required the
visit of Paulhan and his biplane to
do it. There have been unusual sights
at Redondo Beach before. but none
of the kind witnessed this afternoon.
The sight of a man and his wife Jaun-
tily sailing in a heavier-than-air ma
chine far toward the clouds was too
much for the skeptics. Formerly they
did not believe it possible. Now, when
the demonstration is made practically
at their very dooryards, they believe.
1t was a sensation that Redondo Beach
will not soon forget.
