|, BEACHY GIVES The PEOPLE
AT CHICAGO A touch
OF HIGH LIFE.
Did a "Texas Tommy Dance" With
His Air Ship-Gave Finest Exhibit
ton Ever Seen-Had People Run
ming in All Directions Scared to the
Limit-Aero Club Fined Him $500.

Chicago.-Lincoln Beachey, king
s~piralist of the air." mounted his BIZ
plane twice at the aviation meet in
Grant park. His romps in the lake
breeze, as compiled by South Park
police officials of the meet and spec
tatOrs, are as follows:
He flew a steeplechase over the OBJ
struction light posts in Michigan ave-
nue., clearing the boulevard instantly,
driving automobiles to the sidewalks
and other conveyances down side
streets. He drove down several hun
dred feet into the Illinois Central rail-
road gap, playing leapfrog over
switch engines, causing an engineer
and fireman to leap for their lives.
He did the Texas Tommy dance
up Michigan avenue in the late after
noon jigging his wheels on the pave
ment and rocking sideways. He made
a dive at James Levy, official flag
man, sem out to signal him down,
that caused Levy to run and hide in
the hospital tent.
Officials Flee in Alarm.
He descended vertically 1000 feet
with his hands outstretched directly
over the press and official stands at
dusk and inspired the officials and
newspaper men to flee in alarm.
He spu his landing wheels on top
of Horace Kearney's biplane in midair,
her darted down in front of Kearney
to show him the whirling wheels.
In addition to this enumeration
Beachey caused 10000 Jumps to rise
simultaneously in 10000 threats when
he made his high dive twice in the
afternoon.
On his first flight he began to play
teeter-totter with his planes. Then,
just to show he was only fooling, he
made six circuits of the field with his
hands off his wheel, diving, banking,
bucking and cavorting.
Officials of the Aero Club of Illinois
were astounded. 1t occurred to
Charles E. BARLEY, treasurer, to send
out a relief boat over the lake. Frank
X. Mudd, a judge, decided the other
filters should be tagged down, but the
flagman, James Levy, could not brave
the Beachey dives out on the held.
Both Men Fined.
After an agreed aerial brother act
between Beachey and Horece Kear'
ney, also in a Curtiss, during which
Beachey spun his wheels on top OF
K%earney's machine and rested his
aileron, General Manager j. S. Ste
phens suggested that he thought
Beachey should be fined. So a fine OF
500 was imposed upon Beachey and
Kearney for violating the code of the
air that requires machines to fly 15C
feet apart.

that large number have been or

ever-which growth argues well for
the tact and foresight of those in lead
