WHY ELY DID NOT MAKE TWO
FLIGHTS EACH DAY At EXPO PARK

Some inquiry has been made as 20
why Eugene Ely did not make two
flights each afternoon at Rock Island
Exposition park during last week I'm
der the contract with the Curtiss peo-
pie two flights were specified for every
day, and it was required that at least
four flights be made during the week
to fill the contract 1t was naturally a
provision of the contract, insisted upon
by the Curtiss people, that weather
conditions should govern all exhibit
lions, and right here it may be ex-
planned that the elements do not af-

the aeroplane has reached a reason

| ing. The world over the most sue
cessful experiments are made either
in the early morning just before sun
rise or in the evening at about sun
set. There is. as a rule a stiffness
and often a dampness in the atmo-
sphere then which is ideal for flying
The Rock Island Exposition park
is situated in a valley, over which
hover the cross currents from two
rivers, the Mississippi and Rock, and
to this is added the box-like condi-
ton of the park close to the ground
produced by fences, houses and trees,
all contributing to make the rise
from the earth difficult. Twice dur
ing the week, Mr.. Ely attempted a
fight at 2 O'Clock, much against his
own judgment, but because the Ex-
position management insisted that
the conditions as advertised be car
ried out as far as possible. On both
occasions the aeroplane after rising
about 80 feet went to the ground.
Tuesday the machine was so dam
aged that a second attempt that day
was impossible. Wednesday the ma
chine was also damaged, but by hard
work, 1t was gotten in readiness for
the second flight which proved one of
the prettiest of the week.
After that it was decided to leave
the question of two flights to Mr..
Ely's Judgment, he agreeing to at
tempt the first one early each after
noon if possible, but it was felt that
If he found the conditions unfavor-
able it would be much better to aban-
don it rather than run the risk CT
smashing the machine. thus posi-
bly, preventing a second fight also.

There was not an afternoon after
Wednesday when the weather was
what might be termed calm Satur-
day, the upper currents were unsat-
isfactory all afternoon until just be-
fore shutdown when a stiff breeze
blew up from the southwest. This
was just what Ely wanted next to
absolute calm and he was anxious
to get away quickly while it lasted
and undertake two flights, but the
crowd became uncomfortable and
half an hour was wasted getting the
machine through the throng to the
starting point and clearing the cen
ter of the field. BY the time Ely
started the wind was blowing from
every direction and those who wit
messed the flight saw one of the
most hazardous feats possible to I'M
dertake There was not a moment
while the aviator was in the air
when he was not in peril. The ma
chine was tossed about by the cross
currents as if it were pasteboard,
and 1t was the one flight of the week
in which Ely was put to the real
test of conquering the elements.
That he got down safely was a
source of thankfulness to all who
understood the conditions.
Taking the week as a whole, Ely
made a record of four successful
flights in four successive days,
which is remarkable at that

CROWD BLOCKS
AvlATOR'S WAY
Ely Prevented From Making
Second Flight on Closing
Day of Exposition.
DELAY FATAL TO HIS PLANS
Single Ascent, Made in Choppy Wind,
However, Was Most Thrilling
One of the Week.

The stubbornness of large portion
Of Saturdays crowd, composed largely
Of out of town people, not only pre-
vented Eugene Ely from making two
flights in his aeroplane, but almost kept
him from getting out at all. Early in
the morning President Medill of the
Exposition company requested Ely to
make two ascensions, if weather con-
ditions permitted, for the final day.
The aviator agreed and during the af-
ternoon frequently tested the atmos-
pheric conditions and kept in constant
readiness. There was a stiff wind
blowing from the southwest and it was
5:45 before he announced that he
thought it safe to go up. At that time
there was stiff but steady wind
When the attempt was made to get
the aeroplane out of the tent, how
ever, the crowd blocked the way and
could not be budged. All appeals were
in vain. Conditions were explained,
the people were told that, under the
contract the field must be cleared be-
fore the aviator started, but the words
of the announcer were derided, and
the crowd stood stubborn and skep-
tical.
Loses Half Hour.
Finally, however, when it was given
out that unless way was opened the
machine would be put back in the tent
and left there the aviator was allow
ed to proceed to the east end Of the
field. Then the crowd again formed
10 deep across the center of the field
and would not clear the way. 1t was
half an hour before a start could be
attempted. and by that time the wind
had become "choppy," blowing in fit
full gusts that rendered an aeroplane
exhibition exceedingly dangerous. Ely,
In spite of this went up and got away
safely. When in the air, however, his
ship careened and tipped and he had
great difficulty in keeping it right side
up. He flew away to the south out

of trouble got into position for a re-
turn to the ground.
To those who understood conditions
the flight was the most thrilling one
of the week, for the aviator had to use
his rudders constantly to keep in the
air. 1t was man against the elements
in fight for life.
Almost an Accident.
When Ely came down the crowd
again got in the way and the aviator,
losing control for an instant, almost
ran down several persons. By the use
of the brake he succeeded in prevent
ing an accident. 1t had been in
tended, if two exhibitions were
given, to make one cross coun-
try and the other an altitude flight.
AS it was the four successful flights
in four consecutive days almost es-
tablishes a record for aviation meets,
for it is not often that the weather
permits flying for that many success
i've days.
Before Ely started on his final flight
President Medill presented him with
the handsome exposition trophy. sill
yer cup, gold lined, and suitably en-
graved.
Calls on the Races.
Because of the difficulty in handling
the crowd President Medill called off
the motorcycle and automobile races,
it being almost certain that somebody
would get hurt were the contests at
tempted.
Extra Race Program.
In the program of extra races Sat
urday afternoon, Jack Witt, owned
by William Michaels of Car1ock, ILL.,,
took first place in the three-quarter
mile dash Jack Witt was the win
ner of several other of the races dur
ing the week. Second place in the
race was won by Orlin Ormonde,

to Dec. Bachman, owned by Bert
Graham of Arlington, III. White
Set, owned by r. r. Green of Lafay-
cite, H., was counted before the race
as the winner Of the event, but be-
cause of a bad start at the post, was
unable to do better than finish last.
The time was 1:16.

large crowd in attendance, there was
