NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-John b. Moissant
who was Killed In New Orleans, won the
heart Of every lover of the daring sport
when on October 30 he flew from Belmont
park around the statue of liberty and back
to the aviation field, thereby wrestling from
the Englishman, Claude Grahame- White
one Of the most highly priced Of the tro-
plies offered for aerial feats.
Interest in the young man became so in
tense locally al that time that the news Of
the fatal accident caused an unusual shock
in this city. Expressions of grief followed
an announcement of the news In the local
headquarters of the Aero Club Of America
Moissant was born in Chicago in 1873 and
lived there until he was 10 years old. lie
then started for the Pacific coast. drfted
down 10 Central America. became a soldier
of fortune and trader and was driven from
San Salvador when the general under
whom he was fighting met defeat.
Moissant at that time was wealthy, but
his property was confiscated by the gov
eminent soon afterward he went to Spain
and later appeared in Paris when the
Wright brothers were there exhibiting their
machines

Prom the actions Of Hoxsey's machine,
the conflicting currents were warning 100
or i,SO0 feet up. When Hoxsey started his
last glide one current caught the right
end OF his planes and lifted the machine
up and turned II over.
AT best In these spiral Rlides an avla-
tor has but a dangerously narrow margin
Of air bank to support him. Hoxsey seemed
to slip out Of the bank entirely and he fell
Ike brick. In my opinion the fan was
due entirely TO the treacherous air cur
rents.
Il never saw such bad meteorological con
ditions In my life as prevailed today Hox-
sey's machine was intact until It struck

sorrow Manifested.
After the announcement that there would
be no more flights today hundreds of spec
the grandstand.
Members OF the aviation committee were
stunned by the tragic accident
Within a few minutes after Hoxsey's
body had been borne to the field hospital,
the American flag flying over his hangar
was lowered to half-mast and the curtains
were drawn before the entrance.
James Radley the English aviator,
sprang on the roof Of his own hangar next
door and climbing the nagpole likewise
half-masted his st. Georges cross.
All the flying machines standing on the
field we're drawn into their shelters, cur
tains were drawn and the members Of the
camps withdrew into their own quarters
and sat about with bowed heads in their
hands. Many OF them wept and were un-
able to speak.
Aviator Charles r. willard who had pre-
dicted an accident just a moment before
the tragedy, burst into tears.
Glenn Curtiss, habitually taciturn. gave
just one laconic order: Tear down the
bunting; lower all the flags" he instructed
his mechanics, and all the gay trimmings
disappeared speedily from the Curtiss
hangar.
All the amateurs who had been expert
menting with flying machines made imme-
date preparations to quit the flying game
Two tents were removed within a few min
utes after Hoxsey's crash to earth.

on Monday last Hoxsey broke the worlds
altitude record, ascending 1l,i7i feet, al
most 200 feet greater than the previous
record This feat was his supreme record
and when he returned to the field after
nearly three hours absence he was carried
before the grandstand on the shoulders Of
his admirers.
But Hoxsey was not satisfied with this
record. Ever since Monday he had as
cended daily for another try for altitude.
lie found the conditions favorable, but
could never reach Mondays height on
Tuesday he made $500 feet, Wednesday
$500, Thursday 1905, when he crossed
400 feet above the summit Of Mount vii
son, some twenty-five miles from the avia-
ton field, and yesterday 1850.
When he came down, Hubert Latham
the French aviator, had just essayed
flight In his blrd-lke AntOinette. He came
down rapidly but cautiously when he saw
Hoxsey fall. lie landed within a few feet
of the spot where the Wright biplane fell.

Frenchman was among the first 10 reach

Details of Hoxsey'a ran.

Los ANGELES. Dec sl-Arch Hoxsey
had been the star performer at the big meet
that began here last Saturday. Day after
day he took out his machine and assembled
to invisible heights. In fact there has
not been day when the airman had not
gone beyond the range Of human vision,
disappearing behind fleecy clouds or
swinging In ever widening circles until he
crossed the mountains or hung over the
sea. His prolonged absence from the field
day after day gave rise to the salutation
of one friend to another on the grounds:
HAS anybody here seen Hoxsey?"
No one felt fear for him however as he
always came back, returning toward earth
in a spectacular and terrifying series OF
spiral dips until he would land directly
in front Of the grandstand. He was the
favorite of the crowds and was always
greeted with applause when he came out
and with a wave of his hand started on
his altitude trials

PRINCETON BOYS "SIMPLY
CYNTHIA" TO BE GIVEN HERE

The Triangle Club, Of Princeton Unit
versity. has staged one of the most
brilliant musical comedies in Simply
Cynthia" that it has ever produced.
This Is the twenty-ninth season for
the club, n it promises to be a very
successful one. The club has always
been distinguished for the %brilliancy OF
its plays. and this year Is no excep-
ton. The scenery was designed by
H. NJ. Harry, II. and 1t represents a
New Orleans hotel in gala attire for
Mardi Gras week. The light effect IN
the second act Is fascinating.
1t is dreamy n yet dazzling. The
shadow pictures of the jewellers in the
evening Is a feature of the play. The
dreamy light effect, the colored quartet
with its quaint old melodies. the waltz
music of the orchestra, coupled with
the graceful gliding and whirling of
jewellers, and the songs Of the chorus
in four-part music, simply carries every
thing before It. The acting Is of a
high order and would do credit to pro-
fessionals.
Simply Cynthia" will be presented
at the Newark Theatre Saturday eve-
ming, April is.
