last night at Berkeley, and about 800
at Elmhurst.

RECORD FOR ENDURANCE
Avintors at New Orleans Thrill the Crowd With Brilliant Msneuvers But Wind Is Too strong
 for Records

Los Angeles, December 30.-Fearing that through technical error or oversight the height record of 11,474 feet which he made last Monday might not stand, Arch Hox- sey, the California aviator, scared into tie air today and broke all the world s altitude records but his own.
 The two barographs he carried regis tered height of 10575 rect. This Is near ly 1000 feet under the worlds mark he established Monday. but it is 76 feet above the record of Legagneux, made at Pau, France a short time ago. A new record must however exceed the former mark by at least 300 feet. Therefore, if the International Federation of Aero clubs refuses to recognize Hoxseys feat of Monday as official, Lagagneux will re- main the record-holder and the Califor- nian will lose, besides the glory, prizes which aggregate nearly s5000.
 Nevertheless, through today's performs ance he will have the satisfaction of knowing that he holds the American en- durance record. He was in the air today three hours and r minutes. or minutes longer than A. L. Welch, the former rec ord holder.
