 HEIGHT RECORDS.

 Return to Land.

Aviation Field, Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 12.-Louis Paulhan, the French aviator, broke all official and unoffi- cial records for altitude in a Farman biplane late today.
 It is estimated that he rose to a height of more than 1000 feet. As methods of measurement are not ex- act, this may be questioned, but it is certain that he exceeded Hubert La tham's record, made at Mourmelon France, December 1, 1909, which was given at between 1900 and 1900 feet
 The instrument on Paulhans ma chine registered his greatest height at 4,6O0 feet.
 The judges record of Paulhan's al- titude, which is still to be sanctioned officially. was 1,524 meters, approxl- mately 5000 feet. The time in the air was 50 minutes 46 1-5 seconds. The time of descent was minutes 80 seconds.
 Paulhan made his great record shortly after losing the speed record of the course to Glenn H. Curtiss.
 The Frenchman, using an engine that had just arrived from Paris, had been almost constantly in the lime- light all the afternoon He had cir cled the course again and again, skidded and dipped and swung cor ners in daring fashion that made his wife shiver.
 Cortlandt Field Bishop, president os the Aero Club of America, stood in front of the judges stand, enthusias- tic over the beautiful scene that stretched out before him.
 q never saw such perfect weather for aviation" remarked he. "We ought to have the altitude record broken to- day.
 minute later Paulhan rose in the air He made a short circle over the mass of craning spectator. Curtlss had felt the higher currents and came down. Hamilton had landed tamely Paulhan pointed north, went up q thousand feet, passed over the cen ter of the field again as though to take another last look at human face, then turned north and up again.
 By this time there was just one thing for the crowd--the Frenchman ard his air conquering machine rapid ly becoming a speck in the gathered twilight
 At the estimated height of 1900 feet Paulhan described a great circle. as if feeling the currents. By this time he was mile and half from camp. When word had spread that he had beaten the worlds record the vast throng was reused to frenzy.
 At o'clock the machine became palmer. Paulhan began 10 descend. He came down easily in front of the srandstand. after being in the air nearly fifty-one minutes. As he leap ed from his machine, cheeks glowing and eyes flashing. he was grabbed by his friends and carried to the grand stand, where he barred his head amid a thunder of cheers.
 Paulhan gave the crowds another treat earlier in the afternoon. The balloon New York, which had ascend- ed from Huntington Park, came drift ing toward Aviation Camp. In it was Mme. Paulhan, among other guests, and when the F'renchman caught sigat of it, he sprang to his Farman ma. chine. snapped out instructions to his helpers, and in flash darted off Al that moment Beachey and knabeif shue in their dirigibles had passed over the grandstand and also started toward the New York.
 But Paulhan, arising in a wide cir cle to height of 500 feet. sailed mile or more over the fields and the fringe of trees that lined the camp on the north until he approached
