Ralph Johnstone. HoHseys Young

pretty exhibition to a select crowd of

difficult ''stunts'' on the field. making his
biplane jump imaginary hurdles. and
put il through hazardous turns.

Asbury Park. \. l. Aug 26-Arch
Hoxsey, the daring Beau Rrummel of
the Wright brothers aviators is not
satisfied if he is not up in the air at
least once in every twenty-four hours.
He was unable to crafty his taste in the
flying line yesterday. as the dangerous
wind and all around bad wea Their condi-
tions caused the managers of the avia-
ion meet at Interlaken to postpone the
public flying exhibitions for the day,
much TO his disappointment
This morning rain wellnigh flooded the
aviation field and adjacent territory. It
was still raining at noon. when the Aero
Club officials again reluctantly announced
the postponement. Hoxsey wanted to
soar. and soar he would. with or without
paid audience
He whileo away the early afternoon
hours watching the pretty girl bathers
DOWN on the Asbury Park beach. but all
the time he was thinking of that aero
plane In the hangar at Interlaken. his
pet machine. which had not been cutting
figure eights in the atmosphere for more
Y
The thought caused FIoxsey TO grit his
teeth. Then he smiled and muttered
something to himself. Another moment
elapsed and Hoxsey had left the beach,
hailed passing taxi and was speeding
Tor the aviation field.
Out for Joy Ride.
Arriving At the hangar l7e ordered +fe
negro attendants 20 bring out his bi-
plane, Captain Frank Coffyn was not
present to interfere. and soon the husky
hangarnen had the flying machine at
the usual starting point, opposite the
administration building
Despite the soggy atmosphere. it was
8 near-ideal day for flying. and Hoxsey
knew il.
At 4:13 p m Hoxsey and the machine
were ready for their trip MarsWard.
At Ala O'Clock the machine left the
ground and began to soar. Hoxsey re-
moved his cap. waved it at the half
dozen spectators present and began what
proved TO be the greatest exhibition OF
flying in an aeropIane ever witnessed
here.
Hoxsey was in the air a trifie over
thirty minutes, at an altitude varying
from 500 to 1000 feet He did not at
tempt to perform the hair raising
stunts which have made him famous.
but al once began 10 work the biplane
into the leaden clouds. He circled the
aviation field several times and then
turned the machine toward the north and
headed for Long Branch.
At an altitude of 500 feet he circled
over the bungalow of Nine. Lillian Nor
dica. az West Deal Beach. played peek
a boo with the water tower on the prop
erty OF Colonel George Harvey. in the

In accordance with the plan OF AVOID

day virtually decided that state Chair
man Woodruff should not seek re-eiec-

obtain another term. then deciding that
he'd better not try it.
The selection by the Woodruff Barnes

Now mature reflection over the Taft let

one of its leaders shouldn't hold place
of such responsibility during the cam

Mr.. Woodruff and William Barnes. jr..
of Albany, were at state headquarters
yesterday. They discussed this phase Of
