COFFYN SKINS SKYSCRAPERS
Dips Into Deep Canyons Around
Wall Street District.

Frank T Coffyn. the aviator, who has
been giving demonstra tions in his hydro
plane for the last month at the Battery,
put in a strenuous day yesterday making
five flights The most spectacular and dar-
ing effort occurred shortly after noon, when
the aviator went up alone and courted
trouble by dangerous proximity to the big
buildings Of lower Manhattan. II was
known that he would go up about noon,
and many persons out for luncheon watched
for him and saw him cavorting over their
heads at heights varying from 400 to 100
feet above the pavements.
On this trip he took along his automatic
motion picture camera and planned to fly
under and over the East River bridges, but
once in the air Coffyn changed his mind
and headed for the Statue of Liberty. go
ing around II at a height of about thous-
and feet. On his return he passed over
Governors Island and then. against or
ders" he went over the tall buildings He
had long wanted 10 attempt this feat. and
the desire TO accomplish the distinction
seized him in mdair The pyramidal sum
NIT of the Bankers Trust Building, at Wall
and Nassau streets, attracted him, and, to
use his own words, he went TO IT,"
The hydroplane behaved splendidy, so
Coffyn felt confident He made dips and
up-swoops at will and never hit a cornice.
Spectators on the roofs looked up at him
one moment and the next he was on a level
with windows in upper stories. The flight
was as short as It was thrilling. for Coffyn
soon headed from Wall street to the Bat
terry, and played leapfrog with a formidable
steel float laden with freight cars.
Flight No. was the outcome of a tear
full protest on the part OF the aviators s
seven-year-od son. Kingsley. The child
wanted to fly with papa over the water and
see what Liberty looked like from the
heights. Mrs Coffyn bound the boy up in
woollens like a mummy and father lashed
him to the guests seat. Then father took
Kingsley down the Bay
On his return Mrs Coffyn accompanied
her husband over the beaten air path 10 the

Deputy Commissioner of Docks went up
and flew 10 Staten Island.

me that I cannot lust now devote any time

ber that the female Of the species is more
deadly than the male"

But styles do change and
our boys suits must show all the

They do-lapels for instance
look a trife narrower, shorllders

of the smartest Spring styles
for men.
But, thanks to the high skill
of our designers, this smart
slimness is a good deal of an
