Nassau Boulevard. Long Island,
Sept. 26.-The international aviation
meet was marred by the tragic fall of
DR.. j. G. Clarke of New York, an
amateur, who was to try for his H.

juries that he died at 1850 last night
In the Nassau hospital.
DR.. Clarke had not intended to fly.
However, after Ignatz Seminonk, the
Russian aviator, had flown to Mineola
and back in DR.. Clarkes machine. the
wheels were smashed by bad land
ing, and the doctor was so concerned
over the accident that after repairs
had been made he took the flyer up in
order to test it. He had flown only 500
yards, rising rapidly, when he seemed
to lose control and was dashed to the
turf. AS the aeroplane crashed to the
ground it turned over, catching and
crushing him.
Five of the most prominent aviators
entered for the meet signifled their
intention of withdrawing from the con-
test, although their determination was
not due to the accident. Eugene Ely,
George w. Beatty, Harry Atwood, Bud
Mars and J. A. D. McCurdy were those
who decided to discontinue their
flights. Ely and McCurdy expressed
dissatisfaction with the rules, while
the three others stated that there was
not enough money in the meet for
them. Mile. Dutrieu refused to fly
until she received more money.
In the speed contest for monoplanes
Grahame-White won the prize of $500,
flying ten miles at an average speed of
611a miles an hour. Matilda Moisant
went up 1,414 feet. In the bomb-drop.

The standard which measures a man

every phase of departmental work as
an evidence of craftsmanship. The
truth of it is that all patronage ought
to be taken away from the president,
senators and members of congress. 1t

chicanery, and at last become the
means of ofobstructing the free course of
