ATLANTIC CITY, July 5.-Glenn Fl

quered by the obstinacy of q police-
defying multitude of 100, 900 people on
the first day of Atlantic City's avia-
tion meet.
Doggedly contesting every inch Of the

Tennessee avenue and the Million Dol

the managers of the meet had instruct

to keep clear for the use of the aviator,

forced or cajoled by perspiring blue
coats, reinforced by fremen and life
guards, into leaving clear a space 150
feet long by 100 feet wide at the edge
of the water.
Here at 1:24 yesterday afternoon.
more than an hour after the time fixed
for him to soar, Curtiss attempted to
make his first flight. Rising and fallins,
never attaining o. greater height than 1t
feet and most of the time just skim
ming the wet sand, Curtiss sailed along
for perhaps half a mile.
Then after he had missed by a hall
a child who attempted to cross his
path and stumbled. while the multitude
sent Up a roar of fear, and had barely
escaped striking a foolhardy mai
bather who dashed in front of the ma
chine, Curtiss gave up his attempt and
served notice upon the meet manager
that the beach front must be cleared
no matter by what means before he
would again attempt a flight.
Curtiss said he had no doubt of hi!
ability to get away quickly from thc
beach when he is given a fair chance
by the crowds. While this is my frs

three men spent the night in Third

berg with disorderly conduct n the

the loss sustained by the $4,000 robbery
last March, Inspector John r. Harri-
son yesterday came here for final eX-
