New York. Aug. 27.--Sailing ser enely over New York's myriad water craft, Harry N Atwood. the Boston aviator arrived here in his aeropiane today. the first man in history to trayel l,265 miles in a heavier than air machine.
 Atwoods safety landing on the gov ernor's Island after flying down from Nyack, N. r.. above the Hudson river through a fog which made him only dimly visible to the million eyes that watched him. was a notable 1ncI- dent in the annual aeronautics. lie not only broke the worlds record. covering 1,265 miles in an air line or perhaps 100 more miles with his de tours. but he flew all the way in the, same bi plane and with no important mlshaps.
 Atwood's flight is comparable only to that made by fast trains. for he covered the distance in an actual fly ng time of 2S hours and 31 minutes.
 Atwood's final lap in his long jouc- ney was glide of 25 miles from Ny ack, N. Y., where he had stopped ov. CT night. He landed, dapper and smil- iEg htfiess and hungry, in the arm {: ot handful of United States army filters and men who hailed him es Americas g eatest ag a r.

 Atwood's coming was unexpected On Governors Island as it had been heraded that he would land at the sheershead Bay race track, where thousands lined vantage points look ing skyward.
 Atwood expressed regret at their disappointment.
 They wanted me to wait until to- morrow" he said, telling of man in charge of the local arrangements "and promised to have big crowd there. But l couldn't delay my flight"
 Atwood left Nyack at 1858 o'clock this afternoon after freeing his ma chine from a position where a starr would have been difficult and peril ous.

The Water Supply,

On account of the unusual de-
mand on its supply, the Woodstock
Aqueduct company calls the attention
of its patrons to the company's rules
in regard to hose service. that is, one
and one-half hours a day through a
one-eighth inch nozzle.
The village has been allowed to
use water pretty freely, considering
the heat and drouth; the reservoirs
are far from exhausted, but they are
not catching much rain just now
hence these words of caution.
F. s, Mackenzie, president of the
company, is now having a pump and
a six horse power electric motor in
stalled at the Central street bridge.
which will be used in supplying the
thirsty ard consuming street sprink-
Ter from the Branch.

Antos was put in the Ludlow
lookup, pending further action by
States Attorney Skeels, but it WAS
a hot night, the forced restraint un-
comfortable. and the next morning
Antos was missing, having made a
rope of blankets and escaped through
the bars OF window.
The ex-prisoner was found later
in the neighborhood of Cavendish,
some children first sighting him in
the top of an apple tree. He made
another dash for liberty, but was
caught near Proctorsville.
Antos was brought here from Lud-
low by one of Deputy Sheriff Nc
Donald's men, the slippery Polander
being handcuffed to the wagon rail.
In trying to unlock the handouts the
Ludlow driver broke the key and q
section of the wagon had to be taken
to pieces in order to separate Antos
from the conveyance. He had TO
wear the handouts awhile longer,
until they could be cut from his
wrists.

Trouble at Meccawe Pond.

The pond at Meccawe club in
Reading, which has a considerable
local membership, and has one of
the best fishing preserves in the
county. has been gradually lowering
since the first of March, and the
official are in despair over the pro-
spective loss of a lot of big and little
trout. A leak in the dam somewhere
ia responsible for most of the trouble,
with the prolonged dry spell as a
contributing cause.
Efforts have been made to locate
the leak without success, but now
materials are on the ground for re-
pairing the dam; the water will be
partly drawn off and work begun at
once under the direction of Wales
n. johnson, who has had experience
in similar situations.
In the meantime the big trout are
lying in the mud in the deepest
water, and won't bite; and if they
could be rescued in large numbers
now there would be no place to put
them. But there are no indications
that any have died yet, and in low
ering the pond to allow work on the
dam enough water can be left to take
care of them. The pond is now FIVE
feet below the usual point at this
season
