Whistles Shrek a Welcome.

Within three minutes whistles be-
gan to Shrek, and before the aero
plane was out Of sight the whole city
was astir and telephone and telegraph
messages were flying to points down
the river.
Thirty-three minutes after leaving
Albany the aviator was humming past
the city of Hudson, and, seemingly,
the whole population was up to greet
him. From that point on it was a
noisy ovation all the way down the
river.
He passed Tivoli at 1853 and Rhein-
cliff at SOC, "a miles from the start
ing point. Just below Rheincliff he
flew over an icehouse on the banks
of the river, and five minutes later
went directly over a lighthouse in
the middle of the stream.
AS the air craft came humming in
toward the city of Poughkeepsie ev-
cry activity ceased and ever those
who had assembled for early morning
service in the church came pouring
out.
1t had been arranged that the city
should be notified of the approach of
the bird-man by the ringing of the
city hall bell, and when it changed
every street in the town vas thronged
in a few minutes.
Just one hour after the machine
touched ground at the Gill Meadows,
the gasoline tank had been refilled,
Mr.. Curtiss again drew his heavy
coat of wool and oilskin about him,
adjusted his goggles, climbed into the
machine and darted out over the
river.
From that point on he was greeted
with an almost continuous shrieking
of whistles and ringing of bells. but
it was all lost to the aviator, for the
humming Of the motor prevented hiD
from hearing.

SHOWS THE pRACTICABlLlTY OF
CONTINUOUS FLIGHT WITH NO
FEWER STOPS THAN TRAIN.
FASTEST TIME EVER MADE
Hammondsport Aviator Makes 1877
Mile Trip From Albany to New
York in 1852 Minutes-Faster
Than Fastest Train.

New York, May 31.-An aeroplane
flight from this city to Chicago, with
no more stops than are made by the
fastest trains to change engines, is
considered a possibility today in the
light of Glenn H. CurtisS' sensational
feat, when he started from Albany
at 1902 a. IN. and landed on Govern
ors Island, south of this city, at noon,
after having made one stop half way
down and another inside of the city
limits.
Curtiss broke all speed records Of
continuous flight in his averaging
"a As miles an hour for the trip. One
time he attained an elevation which
he estimated at 5000 feet, and from
the last lap along the Lower Hudson
he flew less than 200 feet above the
surface of the river. Only once was
he in danger, and that was when he
mixed his aerOplane with the currents
that swirl about the top of Old Storm
King mountain, south Of West Point.
His machine dropped 40 feet sidewise
WIFI AN NboilS 1U
picked up enough air to enable the
aviator to get control of it before
any real damage was done. Curtiss
declared that he could duplicate the
feat, but that he will not do any
further flying for some time. He Will
go to Hammondsport, n. Y, to re-
main a few weeks, and may go abroad
later on to participate in flying.
Faster Than Fastest Train.
Curtiss' feat of doing 1877 miles in
152 minutes is better time than any
limited on the New York Central I'VE
made.
The Twentieth Century Limited
goes the route in three hours and
three minutes, the Lake Shore in
three hours and % minutes, while the
Empire State Express needs three
hours and eight minutes. The trains
cover only 1922 miles.
Figures to Be Verified.
While Curtiss' distance will have to
be verified by the Aero Club of Amer
lea, of course, Augustus Post, secre-
tary of the club, who was on the
special train which followed the avi-
ator from Albany to New York, said
about 1877 miles in 1872 minutes .
the figures which could be depended
Upon to stand.
When Curtiss started from Van
Rensselaer, island there was only a
small group of persons to see him off.
He had arisen at 4 o'clock, but, with
his habitual caution, hesitated sew
eral hours.
Then the sun came up, the sky was
clear, the air cool and bracing, with
no signs of trouble ahead anywhere.
Scarcely a breath of air came from
any direction.
At first he circled about ove a part
of the city of Albany, in order TO
within the rules, then set his
course straight down the river.
Here and there a group of railroad
laborers or fishermen on the river
saw the machine moving away toward
the south and set up a lusty shout.
The cries were taken up by others,
and then from a thousand windows
and doorways heads were thrust out
and hundreds of half-clad men and
women swarmed out into the morning
air.

Taking occasion to comment on the
action of the police commission in per-

Wesley Methodist Episcopal church, last
night denounced the members of the
board and the signers Of the petition
on which the privilege was granted
This action" he said, means addi-
tional temptations which will lead to
the debauching of young men and the
ruin of young women. 1t is an insult
to the city of Paris to say that such
action as this makes San Francisco the
Paris of America.
II do not think I should compare
these men to Shylock. Shylock, when
he came to his dilemma, loved his
daughter at least as much as his ducats,
for he mentioned them in the same

these men would sacrifice the daughters
of San Francisco to gold. They descend
to the level of Judas 1scariot.

aIJTO HILL CLIMB
AGAIN POSTPONED
Contest Will Be Held Next
Wednesday Afternoon If
Weather Permits
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

The second annual hill climb of the
San Francisco motor club over the
Nineteenth avenue course was again
postponed yesterday. At noon Pres
ident Owens of the club, after a con-
ference with the contestants and those
who had visited the course. decided
that it was too dangerous to attempt
TO send the automobiles over the mile
climb at a high rate of speed In fact,
some of the drivers of fast cars de-
clined TO start.
When this became known ii was de-
cided to postpone the event until next
Wednesday at 2:3O p. m. If it is rain
ing at that time the contest will be
held on the day following, weather per-
mfting. or on the first clear day be-
ginning with Wednesday.
There was a lot of keen interest dis
played at the conference. From state
ments made at that time, some of the
drivers have been making faster time
than they have been credited with.
It also came to light that there is con-
siderable money at stake. In fact,
what at first was merely little cluo
event, has turned out to be one of the
main hin climbing contests of the year
on the coast.
There is no question but that the
record for the course set last year
will be lowered by most of the cars.
The course is faster and the cars have
shown considerable more speed in the
tryouts.
The postponing of the contest al
though exceedingly hard on the deal
ers-for it has tied UP their cars
has, however, given the drivers lot
of time TO practice which they have
not been slow to appreciate. This
means that if clear weather prevails
from now until Wednesday it will more
than repay one to be at the course
when the cars are sent away.
