negie Solar observatory on Mount Will son, directly above which the aviator scared.
 Hoxseys performance was the only in- teresting feature today, but just before the close of the afternon events the crowd got thrill by an accident which nearly resulted in the death of Hubert Latham, who made an attempt to save Glenn Martin, the California novice, when the latter lost control of his machine and was blown into a fence by a D-mile wind.
 After successfully negotiating the course once, Martin was blown far to the south of the field, where he narrowly escaped disaster several times among the high wires and trees.
 Two of three thousand men and women were within a few feet of him when he dashed into the wire fence just in front of the grandstand.
 Latham realized the danger, and rush ing out, caught hold of the ma achine and tried to turn it away from the fence. but miscalculated its speed and was dashed to the ground. Martin and his bipane sped into the fence with force enough to break the iron posts. He was hurled over the fence but was unhurt.
