Day of His Flight.
He Expects to Reach Albany,
153 Miles Away, Tonight.
NEW YORK TOMORROW
Will Provide His Biplane With
Pontoons Before Starting
On the Last Stage of His Record
Breaking Flight.

Syracuse, Aug. 22.-On the ninth day
of his aeroplane flight from St. Louis
to New York. H. N. Atwood, the avia-
tor. today planned to fly along the 153
mile stretch from Belle Isle, five miles
west Of here, to Albany. Whether he
would be able to make Albany by night
Atwood said was uncertain but that city
would be his proposed destination for
the day. He expected to fly over SYRIA
cuse, Utica, Amsterdam. Schenectady y
and the intermediate towns following
directly over the New York Central
railway tracks. He would, ne said. be
compelled to make one stop for gaso-
lire but he would do so at some un-
scheduled point and wherever mis- gaso-
line happened to give out. which would
be after 100 miles sailing.
At Belle Isle where he was forced TO
land because of darkness after losing
his way while flying between Lyons,
n. Y, and Auburn, the aviator
was out early putting his biplane in
readiness. He found a strong wind
blowing Which would delay a start for
several hours.
His route for today is Syracuse,
miles: Utica. 5S miles: Schenectady. 1856
miles, and Albany 153 miles.
II he reaches Albany tonight Atwood
will have flown 1923 miles from St.
Louis. Besides breaking all cross
country flights in America. this win be
near-a approach to the worlds record
of 1.164 miles now held in Europe. At
wood will have surpassed the world 5
record when he flies along the Hudson
river over Rhinecl1ff, when he will have
LII miles to his credit
At Albany Atwood will provide his
biplane with pontoons for use In case
he has to land in the Hudson river or
in the ocean after passing over New
York The exact time of the aviator's
appearance over New York city will de-
pend on his progress today. From Al
beny he believes ne will make the IA
miles down the Hudson in one day with
one intermediate stop. He hopes to sal
over New York in midafternoon so thai
he may be plainly visible.
