DRXEL MADE RECORD

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 9.-Arch Hox- fey failed today in his attempt to win the grand altitude prize of $2,500, be- ing compelled to descend in the re- -eord as4faosnAa heighth of 45,000 feet. After being in the air twenty-two minutes and fif- teen seconds he had motor trouble and his machine was slightly da1nag- ed in alighting.
 At 3:15 Latham in his machine started on a cross country flight to Fort Carroll in Baltimore Harbor when a few minutes later Count De- Lessups in his Bleriot, took flight in pursuit of him. Latham flashed in- to view few minutes later, making the trip about IS miles in 28 min- utes and 56 seconds.
 About this time J. Armstrong Drex- el caught the cross country fever and pointed a Bleriot towards Fort Car roll. He surpassed both of the prev !ous marks, returning after an ab- sence of 23 minutes and 34 seconds.
