Of a century ago. when the English oc-

improved enormously, and that she is,
beyond doubt, going up the hill of
prosperity. however far she is from
the top.
Egypt is probably the worst gov
erned country in the world. In the
first place, she is under the suzerain-
ty of Turkey, and has to pay an an
nual tribute of between 100000 and
$4,000,000 to the sublime porte, for
which she receives absolutely no ma
terial consideration in return Then
she has native ruler and native laws
of her own, and her khedive, the sue
cessor of long line of Ottoman rul-
ers, is something more than a figure
head, but considerably less than a re-
sponsible executive. Then there are
the British, the real rulers of Egypt

the Egyptians cannot move hand or

the troubles of foreigners in Egypt,
over whom the native courts have no

Only the More Daring Ones
Will Venture Off the
Ground Today.
NEW RECORO YESTERDAY


Belmont Aviation Field, Long Isl.
and, Oct. 26:-With the wind blow
ing forty miles an hour few of the
flyers in the international aviation
meet believe that fight would be
possible today. There was some re-
markable flying yesterday.
Regardless Of lowering storm clouds
Ralph JOhnstone, the Wright aviator,
established a new American aerOplane
record by soaring TO the dizzy altitude
of 1903 feet, where he encountered a
raging snowstorm. When he alighted,
one hour and fifteen minutes later,
there were still lcicles on his goggles.
The joy at the Wright camp was so
ecstatic upon Mr.. Johnstone's return
that Wilbur Wright so far forgot him
self when he looked at the barograph
figures as to wave his hat hilariously
in almost a complete circle, but re-
membered himself in time and dropped
his arm.
On the previous day j. Armstrong
Drexel had taken the American alti-
tude record of 6,17J feet away from
the Wright machine, established by
Walter Brookins at Atlantic City July
8, by soaring to a height of 7,105 feet,
and in monoplane at that To win it
back unexpectedly in an old type
Wright biplane explains Mr.. Wilbur
Wright's partial swing of his top piece.
Topnotch thrills were offered to the
throngs of skygazers when Hubert
Latham tumbled 1000 feet like a
stricken kingfisher in his broad winged
Antoinette monoplane, Count de Les
seps got lost in thicket of clouds for
almost an hour and a half and Hoxsey
and Johnstone, the Wright flers, en-
gagged in two high altitude duels.
Both Hoxsey and Johnstone kept GO
ing skyward until the spectators, rails
ing their field glasses, could see but
little black spots In the gray clouds.
Count de Lesseps in his passenger car
rying Bieriot gave chase after the two
Americans, but apparently was I'M
able to reach them. They already had
gained on him about 1000 feet. The
plucky Frenchman was determined,
however. He kept going higher and
higher until his aircraft was complete
ly lost to view. Hoxsey and Johnstone
were supposedly up about 5000 feet.
The three aviators were out to surnass
the record made by J. Armstrong
Drexel yesterday when, In hi little
Bleriot, he broke the American titude
record, going up 7,105 feet. Mean
while Latham had no contestant in the
hourly distance event until he had
gained fifteen laps, when Grahame-
White, the plucky Britisher, sailed into
the air. White steadily rose to an alti-
tude of 300 feet and sailed at the rate
of fifty miles an hour around the
course.
After being completely lost to the
view of the spectators who were
searching the sky through their
glasses, Hoxsey, Johnstone and Count
de Lesseps suddenly came into view.
Hoxsey was first seen gliding back to
earth, while Johnstone was still high
In the clouds, and De Lesseps in his
air craft looked like a dragon fly.
1t was the unanimous opinion of ey.
cry one that this flight for altitude was
the most spectacular ever seen in this
