started toward the ground. In flying
downward the daring aviator fiew
over the club house Of the Wilmington
! Country Club and the golf links.
Reaching a point over Sixth street
Shriver dipped his front planes, the
engines would not reply to the avia-
tors attempts TO shut u off and allow
the machine 70 glide 10 mother earth.
This style OF landing is known as
the Hamilton glide" and is the most
difficulty of any landings.
As the machine struck the ground
about half way in the inheld, It was
seen that the engine was going at
terric pace The aviator's attendants
rushed towards the upper end of the
field, while those in that quarter
braced themselves TO catch the ma
chine Suddenly the front wheels
were seen to bump. raising off the
ground for several feet, and coming
down the machine went fully twenty
yards further when the pneumatic
tires bumped again.
AS the machine rebounded into the
air il turned completely over and
buried the aviator under t. He was
able to extricate himself and crawl
clear Of the wreckage.
Frisbie the other viator employed
by the local club, visited the injured
man in the hospital last evening and
persuaded him not to attempt any
more flights until his ankle is we'll.

Aviator Frisbie. who win make the
flights. has the distinction OF being 2
pioneer in the aeronautical world
having made over 1000 balloon ascen

erect two overhead bridges. The or
dinance will be sent to City Solicitor

Officer Matthew Tobin has added

provements for a 35-foot channel, will
start promptly as the result of the an.
nouncement from Washington that the
American Dredging Company had
been awarded the contract for the un-
dertaking
Major Herbert Deakyne. in charge
of the work on the river, including the
deepening of the channel to the depth
of thirty-five feet and other improve
ments. is now preparing plans to be
followed out by the contracting firm in
widening the bends, which. when
completed. will place the channel in
excellent condition for navigation
To Maintain Channel
With the work upon the dredging of
the channel to the depth of thirty-tive
feet about to be started, commercial
organizations are now engaged in
making a study of the best means
that can be adopted to maintain the
channel at the required depth at a
minimum cost. II is claimed by those
familiar with the channel that dredg
ing will not be the only requisite TO
maintain the channel at a proper
depth. and for that reason shipping
men are interested in reaching plan
in order to insure permanently in

government
II is claimed by members Of the
Maritime Exchange that the 30-foot
channel furnished proof that even a
! depth Of this amount could not be
! maintained in place solely by dredg-
ing, and a plan of using jetties at GER
tain points along the river to helr
conditions Is now being considered
The question Of building bulkheads
and jetties which is being discussed b.
shipping men, will be submitted L
Major Deakyne for his consideration
with view Of reaching some plar
which could be followed out by the
time Congress will again appropriate
funds for the work.
While the Improvements on the
lower portion of the river are upper
most in the minds of majority of the
commercial men, they are not losing
sight of the fact that the proposed
deepening Of the upper channel from
! Allegheny avenue to Trenton will ma
terially help the commerce of the port
of Philadelphia According to the bids
for this work. which calls for chan
mel twelve feet in depth. the govern
ment will not spend as much money
as was frst believed the work would
require.
