About two thousand spectators wit
messed the spectacular hight Of Louis
Paulhan at the Jamaica racecOurse
Yesterday afternoon. He few in a wind
that carried the hag straight in the breene
and performed aerial gyrations that
caused men 20 take 81 their hats and
women To wave their handkerchief.
Paulhan remained in the air eight minutes
and it was estimated that he Hew q dis

tude of tOD feet.
u was precisely as O'Clock when he
took his seat in the yellow and white
fiyer and ordered his mechanicians to
star the machine going. One OF the
mechaniciAns gave the yellow propeller
a twist. II made few feeble revolutions
and stopped. The next twist was more
vigorous and II set the propeller going
in q fashion that meant business. Al
moat before the men could vt 20 the
machine darted into the air. II didn't
rise high at fret because the aviator was
evidently feeling his way. The aero
plare behaved very well until PRulhan
reached the east end ~ the course and
encountered a treecherous current. The
machine showed 60 nsi derable agitation
and Il looked for a minute 40 II he would
be forced to descend. Then he wheeled
his apparatus to the right and gained
control and then few q circle 20 the south
to avoid the currents TO he encountered
from a clNmp of trees and b'nldinEp.
A. times the machine almost stood
still in the air and Paulhan changed his
courne 80 often that he kept one guessing
which way he was going TO hy. Finally
he started in the direction OG Spring
iield and gave the inhabitants II that
plAce the benefit OF the exhibition. Then
he swung hack acrOea the east end OF the
raoecourse and passed over the heads OF
several hundred small boys, who en-
pTice % admission. He then turned IN
a westerly direction. which he held until
he came in front IL the grand stand. when
he dArted over the building and for an
instant vas loet sight of hut hv the time
the crovVl had rushed from the seats the
aviator passed over the club building

The whirrinR of the motor could bs
heard plainly above the Wild cheers sent
up by tho spectators. Men whistIed and
screamed and threw their hats IN the air
and women frRntically waved their hand-
kerchiefs. In descending the machine
looked as q u would land on its nose. but
Psulhan gave his apparatus an upward
turn and landed uithIn twsnty or thirty
feet of the starting point.
