LAST DAYS FLIGHT
SPOILED BY WIND
HOxsey Goes Up for a Few
Laps Around the Course.

Baltimore. Nov. 12.-wind, wind. and
then more wind spoiled the sport of the
closing day OF the aviation meet
For three hours and a half aviators
and spectators waited In the cold at
Halethorpe for an opportunity for a
fight. Finally at O'Clock Hoxsey, to
give the patient ones a show to reward
their endurance, cautiously made a few
laps around the course, keeping well to
the ground. and the meet was over.
on account Of the many interruptions
due TO storms and unreasonable weather
the prize money arrangement is very
much mixed, and j. Fred Dollinger, sec
rotary of the National Aero Club OF
America. will take ali the records 10 New
York and try to clear up the tangle
there.
Just how 1t will be worked out" he
said tonight, Il cannot say AS far
as the lists Of awards published in the
papers are concerned these amounts have
been merely credited. That does not
necessarily mean that each man will set
all that is credited to him for the con-
ditions attending the meet with various
contingencies have changed the complex
ion OF everything
1T VIII be utterly impossible to say
what money any one aviator viii receive
For instance, some of the aviators have
done but little flying. and yet they may
come back with the claim that they were
on the ground, but that they lost their
machines and had TO take machines which
were rushed to them and which were not
found satisfactory. Then, too, the wind
has been too strong for the biylanes.
The awarding of prize money will
depend entirely upon the kind of con-
tracts the aviators have. Il is possible
that those men who lost their machines
in the storm have clauses I'm their con-
tracts that call for safe protection for
their machines"
