Was scheduled to begin today, was post

depart before noon on account of a re-
ligious fete held in honor of a local Swiss
hero, and the race committee announced
a pOStpOnement.
Two thousand spectators had assembled
in the aerodrome which is located on a

and they strongly manifested their dis
content over the disappointment, some of
them demanding the return of their mon
ey. Many Of the visitors event went so
far as to assert that it was a trick to
keep the crowds here. The number of
contestants is dwindling Palette and
cattaneO are now considered doubtful
starters and WiencZiers has withdrawn.
Chavez, the Peruvian, and Weymann, the
American, remain confident that with
good weather, and barring accidents to
their machines, they will be able to &C
complish the dangerous trip over the

here continue to believe that the fight
there is no single available landing place
in the first seven and one-half miles to
the top of Simplon, and thence for the
next Is miles down to Domodossola. This
section is a perfect wilderness of rocky
gorges and tumbled mountains.
The remaining distance to Milan is over
plains and lakes and free from difficult
ties
Chavez has elected to try to mount
from the start over mountain range
more than $500 feet high, while Weymann
has chosen route up the river valley.
The formers main fear is that the oil
and petroleum in the tubes will freeze
in the high attitudes. Consequently he
, has packed the tubes with great care and
has decided to carry little weight as
possible. He will start with only enough
petrol to reach Domondossola
Big flags and straw fires will mark the
route. Telegraph and telephone stations
have been established, and automobiles
with doctors and Alpine guides have been
sent to various points ready to give aid
in case of accident. The weather proba
bilties indicate a continuance of the ia
vorable conditions for the flight.

the rocks on the American side of the
river, rolled over one bounder and went
fast between two others. There Larsen
stayed for five minutes, 40 feet from
shore, working desperately to release the

comber and sent careening toward the
middle.
At the bend with the Lewiston bridge
in sight the boat drifted toward the
American side again and was then caught
in the shore eddy. The Ferro grounded
again, this time near enough shore to be
caught by Roy Rockwell of this city. who
waded into the water and caught a rope
thrown by Larsen.
Larsen wanted to continue the trip. but
having accomplished the worst part of
the journey he was persuaded to board a
trolley for Lewiston, setting the boat
adrift.

A Floating Hospital for
The Bank Fishermen.
Or. Williams Of Maine Hospital
Service Has Made Plans
Whereby Suffering Among Fisher.
men May Be Prevented.

Boston. Sept. Scholarships suffered
by fishermen along the fishing banks
of the New England coast may be re-
lieved by floating hospital if sugges-
tons and requests made by DR.. J.. l..
Williams, the surgeon in charge of the
marine hospital in Chelsea. are realized.
AS the result of several years ex-
perience in receiving at his hospital
sick and injured fishermen and sailors
who have suffered from neglect, DIR.
Williams in his reports to the surgeon
general, asks for a minimum appro-
priation of $4,000 to cover the cost of
fitting out schooner with a complete
emergency hospital equipment. He es-
Inmates that her maintenance would
cost about $4,000 to $4,000 year.
DR.. Williams idea is to confine the
work of the hospital ship strictly TO
emergencies. He would have on board
one doctor. two, nurses and picked
crew. There would be on the ship a
small sick bay for six or eight men,
in which sailors could be treated for a
few days, but if a man needed continu-
cd treatment he would be sent to Bos-
ton. There is a good deal of suffering
from frost bites, the men often losing
fingers and toes from not knowing
how to take care of themselves.
A French hospital ship already
cruises around the Grand Banks off
Newfoundland coast and on the Dog
ger Banks in the North sea, the fish
ing grounds of the Grimsby. Eng. fish
ermen, there are several British hospi-
tai ships. 1t Is proposed by DR.. Will
liams to have the United States ship
cover an area from the nearest edge
of the Georges Banks. which is about
100 miles from Boston. to the eastern
edge of those banks, about 800 miles
away. The plan would be to cruise
about $50 miles north, always keeping
in touch with the fishing schooners.
The fish bureau report for 1909 shows
-har the crews of the Massachusetts
fishing fleet number more than 5000
| men. and that the average number out
on the banks during the winter varies
| from 1900 to 1000.
