NEW YORK. October 2S-Ralph john
stone and Arch Hoxsey, the Wright fly
ers. established a new record in the
history Of aviation yesterday at the sixth
day of the international aviation tOurna-
ment at Belmont Park race track, Long
Island when they assembled 5000 and
more feet into the air. and, finding there
a wind that blew from the west at sixty
FIVE to seventy miles an hour, pointed
the noses of their craft into 1t. and with
engines going at full speed, nevertheless,
were driven eastward, tombstone for nifty
five miles and Hoxsey for twenty-five.
so far as l know said Wilbur Wright
last night after word had been received
that tombstone had landed safely, and
that Hoxsey too, was all right, iii Is
the first time in the history of aviation
that machine has stayed aloft while 1t
was actually driven backward in the air
The machines the boys had are capable
of thirty-five miles an hour, and they tell
me that the wind was thirty or thirty
Ave miles an hour stronger than they
were. In that event it must have been
blowing siXty-five or seventy miles an
hour, and it Is another new feat for AVA
ton for any man to fly a machine In
such a wind
The wind that drove tombstone and
Hoxsey on their record-breaking voyages
was not so strong nearer the ground, al
though ii had force enough 10 prevent
the flying for the ten-thouSand-dollar race
around the statue CT Liberty and Ddck 10

Land Miles Away.
1t was considerably less than an hodS
after they had started, at 1:3O O'Clock,
that the Wright flyers passed out of view,
and it was 4:3O O'Clock before anything
more was heard of them. Then telephone
messages were received from both men.
tombstone saving that he had landed
safely in a field at Middle Island, small
village about ten miles north Oh
Patcnogue and HoXsey telephonlnS that
he had come to earth safely at Brent
wood. a little town of mo inhabitants
about twenty-five miles east of the AVA
ton field. tombstone, it was calculated
hastily, had flown .fifty-five miles before
coming to earth.
telephone message from HoltsNllle,
station on the Long Island railroad, not
far from where tombstone landed, SAID
las night that Jchnstone after reaching
the ground had said he believed that ne
had been more than 5000 feet in the ar
Tie worlds record for height attained IN
a heavier-than-air machine Is 9,1SG feet.
Johnstone's machine was equipped with
:, baroeraph and this will be read by the
off1ciaIs of the international tournament.
If Johnstone's sUrmise Of his height shall
prove to be correct. then II Is probabie
that il will be shown that he has eStaD-
l,shed new worlds record.
