NEW HEIGHT RECORD
j. Armstrong Drexel Touches 1850
Feet on Bieriot Machine at Aviation
Meet at Bournemounth, England.

Bournemounth, England, July IL
A new British record for high dying
was made by J. Armstrong DreXel, son
of Anthony Drexel,at an aviation meet
ing here today. He reached an alti-
tude OF 1850 feet. Young Drexel has
been practicing for some time with
Bleriot monoplanes. His best previous
achievement was at Brockenhurst June
20, when he reached the height of 1910
feet.

flying IN the spirit OF the amateur and others

which they fill engagements at exhibitions and meet

1t is pointed out by aviators that the existing
period of commerciazaton, necessarily temporary,
is not without its value in the progress of the
plane While the stress of competition has slack
ened the great number of flights being made and
the manufacture of machines demanded for exhibi-
tors all contribute to the data of the science and
the knowledge of its followers. Every time flying
makes ascent he learns something more
about the control and manipulation OF his aero
plane Every time there is accident or break
down the cause is carefully sought and an attempt
made to correct the fault.
FLYING FOR MONEY
So it is that although the masters are longer
pitted against one another for records they are
steadily studying and improving the existing types,
building up from the experience of their pupils The
curious and generous public provides them with the
wherewitha1 and the leisure.
Meanwhile there is one man who does not seem

The future can hold nothing that will seem as mar

all within years of the first SO second fight by
Wilbur Wright The public is satiated with wonders,
crammed with records, and it demands most insist

present except Mr.. Curtiss Mr. Wilbur Wright
was passenger in one of his machines in the bomb
dropping contests, but beyond that was content to
have members of his staff handle the Wright
bplanes
These facts sgnazed tendency which is becom-
ing more apparent among the pioneers of flying The
masters themselves are retiring from active
petition and exhibition. Mr.. Curtiss few days
ago emphasized his intention of abandoning public
fights very soon. The Wrights no longer engage
personally in competitive and demonstrative flying
Abroad the same holds true of Mons. Bleriot and
of Mr.. Farman
The actual manipulation of machines at meetings
nowadays is being mostly carried on by younger
set who are followers and pupils of the original
experts, instead of by the who have borne such
close relation to the first tentative steps IN aya-
ton. The designers are leaving the greater risks
to others and turning their attention to con-
struction and instruction
THEIR HARVEST MOON
This condition runs parallel with the present pros
perity enjoyed by aviators There is no reason for
the inventors to go aloft when they have pupils who
can manage the machines for them. 1t is we'll that
they refrain from continual flights, for the science
could Ill spare of its pioneers. A representa-
tive displays the machine, sometimes on percent
age basis with the designer, and both proht by the
public thirst for novelty Meanwhile the master IS
free to impart his hardly gained wisdom and exper-
ience to those who be looked to for the futuEe
to build machines and to improve his type
Thus 1t comes about that the competitors and
demonstrators OF the day chiefly graduates OF
the various schools founded by the pioneers, using
the type OF machine to which they have been trained
The Wrights, for instance, have such pupils as
Messrs Walter L. Brookns Ralph Johnstone,
Arch Hoxsey and A. L. Welsh. The best known

and satisfying public curiosity
Aviation, so far as it means racking strug-
gle for new flying marks, tense competition among
birdmen for premier honors of the air and constant
study Of new designs has to halt for the time
being If there is one apparent feature of present
general conditions in the science it is that the
test for supremacy among American and foreign de-
signers has paused and that aviators are grasping
rather at tangible in money than at further
fame in higher attitudes longer journeys and faster
fights.
Aviation, so far as it means public famarization

prosperity It's exponents seizng the opportunity

the promoter, who usually looks out for fat slice

The promoters plant upon this state of affairs
comes back upon the aviator. The bird man is play
ing up to the top OF the market He knows that the
public wants to him perform, is clamoring' for
exhibition, and he promptly skies his price. The
returns for those who able to make practical
flights nowadays enormous and the promoter
has to stand the strain. What the promoter has so
far apparently failed to observe is that the publics
curiosity is quickly satisfied. Counting upon the
wide advertising that flying has had and the gener-
ally keen interest aroused he has planned for long
engagements The result too often has been that

chances, will take part without guarantee, and

great enough, what with the risk OF losing and

them, the transportation and of their machines

The fairs the bestN customers the flying men

At fair the cost of aviator for few days can
be counted in definitely part of the outlay and
the managers may be of drawing greatly in
creased attendances This fall several aviators have
been getting $4,000 or $4,000 for exhibitions about
the country. 1t is predicted that for the next year
two, until the public is familiar with aeroplanes
in action or until the number of professionals is
greatly increased, the rewards will continue to be
very tempting.
