AvIATOR,s ESCAPE.

Arch Hoxsey had a narrow escape
from death yesterday afternoon while
contesting for the grand altitude prize
at Halethorpe near Baltimore.
Seated in the same machine in which
Johnstone made his record at Belmont
Park, he started off at rapid gait,
making 1000 feet in one lap. In five
minutes he reached an altitude OF
1000 feet, and was then five or six
miles off the course. In ten minutes
he was up 5000 feet and then
disappeared in the sun. Sud
denly he reappeared, and he had
then mounted $3.50 feet, the
altitude record for the track. Here he
felt the ensine jumping and getting
quite warm, and concluded to come
down.
When about 1000 feet from the
ground the engine jammed and stopped,
and Hoxsey started to glide, but he
had gone only short distance when
the propeller stopped. The 10000
spectators on the ground saw that some
thing was wrong, as the machine began
TO descend with frightful rapidity at an
angle OF 45 degrees.
Apprshending fatal accident, some
of the women began to shrek, and the
greatest excitement prevailed. The
aviator and his machine disappeared
from view about thlee miles south OF
the track in the tree tops, and the con-
clusion was reached that he was killed.
A number of employees at the track
and others at once started out to locate
the place where Hoxsey fell and they
found he dropped in plowel field and
almost beside farmer who was tilling
his ground. The machine struck the
ground with great force, throwing
Hoxsey out, and at the same time it
turned turtle
The aviator lay for few minutes
stunned. He soon recovered, how
ever, and was little the worse for his ex-
perience. The machine is a wreck.

' Some Of the Grand Army men think
IL would be wiser to hold the national
gatherings less frequently than every
year This is natural. and though it
does not prevail now the proposition
viii gain in force year by year. The
annual encampment is great occa-
sion and great joy to the veterans. but
on account of the infrmities of age
and perhaps decreased earning powers
many of them find it increasingly diff
ficult to attend the encampments at
distant points. They do not like to
miss them. and if held less frequently
they could with less inconvenience be
present at ali of them. That these en-
campments are held in widely sep
arated sections each time brings them
within comparatively easy reach to
some of the boys but it adds to the
hardship of others.
