Especial from United Press. )


 Erie, Pa, Aug. 19.-After bucking head winds and dangerous air cur rents in his 12 mile flight from Fair view, where he was forced to alight, last night, Aviator Harry N. Atwood landed here at 12:04, this afternoon, thoroughly exhausted. He stated as he left his machine that he would not try to go any further, today, un- less the wind goes down. The air currents encountered in today's flight he said, were the worst in his experience as an aviator.
 Since leaving St. Louis he has flown 793 miles and is now we'll ahead of his schedule.
 Atwood got away from Fairview at 11:45. after telling the crowd that he would not attempt a flight until 6 spectators left, he jumped into the air and made the run to this city in 19 minutes. His actual flying time from St. Louis is 15 hours and 22 minutes.
 Aviator Atwood left Erie at 9:2O in an auto for Fairview, where he left his machine, last night. A stiff wind was blowing off the lake and Atwood said before leaving he would prob ably come down at Dunkirk, where a 1unQ mas been Td1SeO Tor him. He thought the wind would prevent him going further than Dunkirk today
 To a United Press representative Atwood, today said:
 .'The wind is dead against me, to- day, and the going will be mighty hard. I don't think it advisa ble for me to make Buffalo, today. I am two days ahead of my schedule but suppose the delay, today, will put me a trifle behind. I would rather take it easy though, with head wind to work against and make record when the wind is with me-"
 Atwood said he did not know when he would reach New York but expected to be there in time to win the prize money.
 Regarding the Boston flight, he
 T don't know whether I'll fly to Boston, If I do it will be on my own hook and not in connection with this flight. If I do decide to start for Boston it will not be until August 27"
 Speaking of his trip to Erie from Cleveland, he said:
 Tt was one of the hardest since I left St. Louis The wind blew off shore and I had it on my quarter all through the trip. It made rough go- ing and hindered my progress to no small extent"
