Race Between AerOplanes.

Race Between Aeroplanes.
A feature Of todayis meet will be a
race between the "Hudson-Fulton fly
er," driven by McCurdy, and the
belmont racer" driven by Ely. This
will take place late in the afternoon.
The crowd at the meet yesterday
afternoon, although smaller than had
been anticipated, was very enthusias-
tc. Flying was new to all the specta-
tors, and they thoroughly enjoyed the
air-man's performance. Those who
came expecting a show were satisfied.
Others who went for TIRE educational
value OF the performance were equally
pleased. The secret was that Ely
really flew.
The start for the first fight was
made on the race track near the
northern end Of the grandstand. AZ
ter the motor was tuned up, Ely climb
I'D into the seat, waved his hand as q
signal for his helpers to release The
machine and was eff. The aeroplane
slipped along the track about the
length of the grandstand. Then st Lett
the ground and rose. Like a great bird,
easily and gracefully, and began it's
eRortless flight.
Breeze Light But Choppy.
The light, choppy wind, which blew
all afternoon, worried the air-man at
the turns when his machine bumped
up and down, as an automobile does
when it strikes rut.
After circling the track twice, at
height of about $50 feet, Ely ahghted
In the field opposite the grandstand.
On the last lap, he went further out
In order to make the turn before
alighting: He came down at an angle
c.. about 80 degrees until he was
within 10 feet of the ground. Then he
shut off his motor and glided gradual
ly to earth.
"If it were not for this choppy,
Duffy little breeze" said Dly after his
trial trip aloft, to-day would be ideal
for flying. 1t troubled me some and
got worse the higher up went"
The aeroplane was brought back to
the track and returned for the sec
ond event, a three-mile race with a
Buick car, driven by J. B. Roddey.
Auto and Aeroplane Race.
The aeroplane's eight-cylinders and
the Bucks four created a deafening
din. The automobile was little in
the rear of the aeroplaue. The start

aviator, who was to have flown, miss
ed a connection and did not arrive.
His machine, the Hudson Fulton fly
er," consequently was not seen in ac-
ton. Mr.. McCurdy will reach Column

May Extend Meet.
1t is probable that the air-men, Ely
and McCurdy, will remain in Colum-
bia and make flights on Friday, as
we'll as today. The field has been pro-
nounced ideal and the weather prom
Uses to be perfect The aviators are not
due in Atlanta until December Is and
16. 1t is consequently probable that
Columbia's aviation meet will be pro-
Iouged through Friday.
The flights this afternoon are
scheduled to begin at 2 o'clock and
will continue, if the wind permits, until
sunset. A tremendous crowd is ex-
pected. The street railway will put Oh
a special car service to and from the
fair grounds.
Augustus Post Present.
Prominent among the spectators Of
Eugene B. Ely's three flights yester-
day was Augustus B. Post, the vet
eran balloonist, who has had various
aeronautic experiences, not the least
thrilling of which was his recent fight
over the Canadian wilds with Allen R.
Haw7ley in the balloon America II,
which won the Gordon Bennett race
from ST. Louis. Mr.. Post has taken
up aeroplaning and is now an author
ity in this new branch of aeronautics
He will lecture this morning at the
university at II o'clock.

The aviation party arrived in Co
