OF AVIATOR
DENIES CANCELLATION
OF NEW ORLEANS TRIP

The report that the engagement of
Louis Paulhan, the French aviator, to
give flying exhibitions at New Orleans
during the Mardi Gras festival had been
Cancelled was denied by Edwin Cleary,
his manager, last night.
The exhibition will be given as ar
ranged he said. "On leaving San
Francisco we will go to Salt Lake City,
from there to Denver. thence to Dallas,
Tex, and finally to New Orleans. At
all of these places flying exhibitions
will be given"
Cleary declared himself exception
ally pleased with the outcome of the
exhibition in San Francisco.
The flights here he said have
established the durability of the ma
chine and given us greater confidence
in what can be done with it. The con-
ditions at the Tanforan track are Pc

place, the track is small, and then

things more quickly than the ears.
The wind having died, Paulhan arose
with perfect ease. Up the. mountains
and down the valleys of the air he
travelled at will with the speed of an
express train He remained in the air
32 minutes. There was no apparent
reason why he might not have remained
there go hours. He reached an eleya-

Whipped into a sentiment bordering
on frenzy by the achievements of
Louis Paulhan, the French aviator, as
he smashed through space above their
heads at Tanforan track yesterday
afternoon, crowd 10000 strong aban-
doned itself to a whirl of mad cheers
and gave to the hero of the moment
the unstinted applause of genuine ad-
miration.
The scene was tumultuons. Above
was the drone of the whirrfng pro-
pellers and below the thunder of the
cheers The shoutings sped from end
to end of the vast course. Outside the
engineers of the special trains cut in
with screenings of their whistles,
motormen on the waiting electric cars
added to. the clamor by the clang of
their gongs. The shoutings seemed to
rise and fall with the dippings of the
aeroplane and the echoes of the cheer
ing followed in the wake of the gliding
machine as it topped the fringe of
eucalyptus trees and headed into the
black haze of a pail of smoke.
And at the conclusion, when, having
circled again and again, Paulhan shot
downward, for all the world like some
big hawk, and settled safely on the
field, the crowd could contain its en-
thusiasm no longer, but broke through
the fences from all directions, the
thousands of men and women splash
ing through the swamps and puddles TO
catch a glimpse of the aviator. 1t
was in vain that the deputy sheriffs
swung out with their whips and rode
up and down. The crowd swept the
riders aside and plunged onward
toward the center, where the big ma
chine stood. its silken wings damp
CROWD ARRIVES
AS before. the crowd gathered early.
BY 2 o'clock the course was filled,
forming a mammoth ring of humanity.
Under foot was slush and mud a foot
deep and at times when the sun was
shut off by passing clouds the wind was
chill. but these inconveniences were
passed unheeded. The first comers
ranked themselves against the fences

waiting hour after hour. patient. smil-
ing and happy.
The work of the deputy sheriffs was
easy at the outset. The crowd was
tractable. 1t surged up and down in
content and even when the machine
was rolled out from the sheds to the
big field little endeavor was made TO
break fthe lines. The main reason for
this. perhaps, was an intervening road
way of mud. sloppy in the extreme.
The initial cheering produced by the
sight of Paulhan walking in the rear
of the aeroplane hushsd as the helpers
prepared for the fight. At the first
crackle from the machinery there broke
forth an answering yell from the con-
course. sharp and shoftlived. ceasins as
the intermittent reports developed into
