New York Store Shows DirigibIe and
Biplane Air Craft in Full

Two good sized airships, each carry

windows OF the New York store in
South Broadway. One is a reproduc-
tion of the biplane in which Aviator
Glen Curtiss will sail next week, the
other being the miniature likeness of
Harmon's big dirigible balloon New
York.
The two ships sail or appear to sail
lightly through the air in the windows
of the New York store, propellers 60

each in the hand of a charming wax
figure of a women. The dirigible car
ries two passengers besides the avia-
tor and appear to be enjoying the ride.
w. L. Newcomb, the designer of the
display. deserves credit for his work.
Not only do the airships look the part,
but Mr.. Newcomb studied up on aerial
navigation and has constructed his
ships as near like the real ones as
possible.
Each ship is twenty-four feet long.
The dirigible is so light that one man
can easily lift the whole affair. Elec-
trio motors form the propelling power
for them.

SEE BENEFIT TO
CITY IN AVIATION
BIG WEEK OF GREAT VALUE AS
PUBLICITY MEDIUM
Prof. Twining Addresses Club Diners
on History Of Aero Club and
Possibilities of Aerial
Travel

The civic benefit that will accrue to
Los Angeles because of Aviation week
was the subject of an address by Prof.
H. La V. Twining before the City club
at its regular weekly luncheon at
Levy's yesterday afternoon. But
Professor Twining did not confine him
self to the benefits of the meet and
told a big audience more about air.
ships of all sorts than they had ever
dreamed. Professor Twining is presi-
dent of the Aero Club of California
and is an enthusiast on the subject.
About eighteen months ago a few
men with a little money and more
brains organized the Aero club here"
said Professor Twining. "From a
handful the membership rapidly in
creased to 200, but only q few of this
number were actually interested in
aeronautics. The rest were impelled
by curiosity, and soon the membership
dWindled to thirty, and we are at this
point now. But these thirty men are
deeply interested in the subject and
are trying to do what some other peo
pie consider the impossible.
Probably not a Los Angeles man
will fly at the meet next week, but the
civic benefit to Los Angeles will be
immense. This is the second meet of
the kind to be held in the world, and
the eyes of the world are on Los An
geles. 1t really is a matter of inter-
national interest and Importance 1t
will be worth all it costs to bring the
meet here, even if every man in the
city has to dig down into his own
pocket to pay the expenses.
Every live citizen owes it to Los
Angeles to boost this proposition. Los
Angeles is known the world over for
its boosters That is what has maze
this city what 1t is today. We hope
to interest the government to such an
extent that it will establish an aero
nautic station at San Pedro, and that
is only one of the many benefits Los
Angeles win receive if its inhabitanta
take the proper interest in this meet
eft that will result from the adver-
tising this meet gives"
Professor Twining told the club of
the history of aerial flight from the
time of its inception to the present, and
explained the difference between the
monoplane and the biplane, both Of
which will be seen at the meet this
week. He declared the Curtiss and
Wright machines had been developed
together and that Curtiss deserved as
much credit as the Wright brothers.
The speaker gave an interesting sci
entific explanation of air currents
pressure, inertia, gravity and all the
natural obstacles that must be over
come by the aviator.
"Of course flying is dangerous" said
Professor Twining. But it is only
in its infancy. and with its develop
ment will come safeguards that will
remove the dangers until flying will
be as safe as riding in an automobile,
if not more So
Following the address Professor Twi-
ming conducted a question box, during
which he answered questions on the
cost of flying machines, stating that
the motor was the most expensive part
and cost about $1200 while the rest
could be easily constructed for about

In anticipation of the visit of thou
sands of persons to Dominguez field in
autos, a special committee headed by
William NJ Humphreys of the Merch-
ants and Manufacturers association,
mas laid out an official route to the
aviation grounds. County supervisors
have had the roadway put in excellent
condition, SO that travel over it will
be exceptionally easy. The road from
Long Beach also has been put into
good condition. 1t is expected that
practically every auto owner in the
beach city viii go to the field.
The road from Los Angeles is south
on Central avenue, through Watts and
Compton. across the Dominguez bridge
and directly into the aviation field. BY
auto 1t is about fifteen miles from
Sixth and Main streets to the field.
The road will be plainly marked with
sign boards so that it will be almost
impossible for anyone to leave it by
mistake.
Watts and Compton are gayly deco
rated for Aviation week. Huntington
park, where the balloon and dirigi-
BILE camp is located, also is decorated.
Residents of that city bought 5000 ban
ncrs and aviation buttons for distri-
button to visitors.
The auto road to the aviation camp
is paved along Central avenue as far
as Slauson junction. At the junction,
the road turns to the left. At the
power house on the left hand side of
the road a turn to the left is made
\ short distance beyond the power
house the road resumes its course
parallel to Central avenue. At Slau-
son avenue the road turns to the right
and leads through Watts and Comp
ton along the Southern Pacific tracks.
-Four miles south of Compton the road
turns at right angles to the left and
leads up a slight grade past an old
adobe fort and across the BiXby ranch.
The main road is left a short distance
beyond the fort, and a branch road
to the aviation camp is followed.
All turns will be marked with large
signs. Banners also will direct drivers
along the highway.
Arrangements have been made for
parking autos at the grounds. A
charge of 81 will be made for each
space occupied by the autos A free
parking place also has Leen provided
for This one, however, does not give
as fine a view of the field as the other.
Two routes have been provided for
machines leaving the field. This was
so as to prevent confusion
in getting away.
Garage space has been provided for
by the Automobile club of Southern

Attorneys Representing the Aeropane
Makers Come to an Agreement
Pending Appeal in Patent
Suit
Associated Press1

BUFFALO. Jan. S.-An order was
granted in the federal court today sus-
pending, pending immediate appeal
the temporary injunction recently OBJ
tanned by the Wright company prohib-
iting the manufacture and sale of aero
planes by the Herring Curtiss com
pany and Glenn H. Curtiss in alleged
infringement of Wright patents. This
order followed a conference of attor-
neys representing the Wrights and
Curtiss. and is conditioned upon the
filing of a bond for $4,000 by the Cur
tiss interests.
1t is stated that the order is effective
merely as permitting exhibitions and
flights by Curtiss at Los Angeles or
elsewhere pending further disposition
of the case. The bond and deposit with
the court of all money realized from
exhibition is said to have been agreed
upon as security for any possible dam
ages ultimately awarded to the Wrights
for alleged infringement.

AVlATORS ENTHUSED OVER
LATHAM'S HIGH FLIGHT
Attaining of $500 Feet Altitude Be-
lieVed to Presage Great Things.
for 1910

PARIS, Jan. S-Hubert Latham's
high flight of yesterday when he at
tained an altitude of approximately
$500 feet or nearly three-quarters of a
mile, has aroused the greatest enthu-
siasm among aviators, who consider
that it presages great things for 1901
Latham says there is no reason why
he could not have mounted still higher.
Bleriot declares that the aeroplane
is destined to surpass the dirigible bal
loon as an engine of war. Artillery
officers agree that an aeroplane having
a speed of fifty miles an hour and fly
ing at the height reached by Latham
would be invulnerable.
The machine used by Latham yester-
day was an Antoinette monoplane, used
by II. S. Harkness of New YORK.

pole. He kept Levengood from passing
him both by fine driving and by the
speed of his madly dashing four. rms
heat was also neck and neck, and IL
was in doubt until the finish line was
crossed, when its was decided that
English had won by about half a
a length in two minutes flat. rms Is
the record for the new track. and that
it is slow is shown by the fact that
Levengood had made it in l minute
and Sc seconds before the rain sottened
the ground.
Chances to Win Seemed Slight
English's chances in the last heat
were thought slight, as Levengood had
the pole. At the first turn it was seen
that English was doing little stunt
all his own. Heretofore the inside
chariot had hugged the inside rail on
the turn. but in this heat English cut
out a little. not enough to give his op-
ponent a chance to nose inside of his
four, but still sufficient to make the
drive around much faster than had an
attempt been made to hug the four
with the pole close. This brought both
four neck and neck when they
turned into the stretches.
Even at that it looked as though Eng
lish was gone when 1t came time to
the last lap. LeVengood had half a
length the lead and the pole In this
position the eight rushing horses round
ed the last turn into the home stretch
Suddenly a change was noticed in
Fnglish's manner of driving. Until
this time he had held his lines well in
hand, but on the turn he allowed his
lines to sag, and, picking up his whip,
began to feck his four into q still
greater burst Of speed.
Inch by inch his four gained on the
four of Levengood, and it was but a
question Of distance before the outside
four would be in the lead. Both drivers
applied the whip, but the English four
had made its start for the sprint first,
and with one Of the most magnificent
bursts of speed ever seen on a chariot
race track the English four came in
winners by half a dozen feet, the time
being minutes IL seconds.
This remarkable drive won the first
PRIZE Of $1,000 for English, Levengood
getting the second award of $500.
Minor Events of Program
Balloon flights and chariot races were
not the only attractions at Tournament
park, for a varied program was pre-
sented by the Out West club Of Los
Angeles. The first event on the pro-
gram was a horse quadrille by twenty
four members of this club. The dance
was done in time to the music of two
bands, the following taking part in the
three sets:
Set one-Messrs. Giddings, Brinden
stool, Gill and Rogers; Misses Kinch,
Gregory, Parks and Hendrickson
Set two Messrs. Brown, Lenone,
Theelman and Morris; Mesdames

fer
Set three-Messrs. Brahm, Roberts,
DeLong and Graves; Mines. Brahm,
Roberts, DeLong and Kolb.
The quadrille was followed by lancer
evolutions, directed by George Van
Webber, and the next OF the strictly
equestrian events was the pony relay
race, which was won by the Fred Hill
entry, Dell Blanehette up, with Peck
and Browning second.
