The ascent was made an hour earlier
at Palisade Park. Miss White visited
the amusement park. according TO the
plot. and got in the basket TO have her
photograph taken while the balloon was
being held by dozen men before the
aeronaut made his ascent. While the pic
ture was being taken runaway horse
dashed through the crowd. The men
holding the basket let loose and ran.
Miss White registered abject terror as
the balloon took her up and out across
the Hudson. Stevens was In the bottom
OF the basket and did not show in the
picture.
Twenty or more school children

FACES PENALTY FOR
FLIGHT OYER CITY
Ralph Brown Ignores Aero Club
Warning and Goes to
Polo Grounds.
MAY PUNISH COMPANY
Suspension for a Year May In
clude Graduates Of Avia-
ton School.

Ralph NJ Brown. a twenty .year-old
years ago. will come in for harsh treat
ment at the hands OF the Aero Club OF
America officials. He cut across over
New York yesterday from the Harlem
River at 15sth street to the North River
at f27th street and circled above the Polo
Grounds In open defiance of the clubs
rule against flying over cities.
When Alan r. Hawiey. president OF the
club. read in THE suN yesterday that
Brown intended to fly over the Polo
Grounds he advised Henry Woodhouse, a
member Of the public safety and accidents
Investigation committee, to warn Brown.
Mr.. woodhouse teiephoned TO Brown that
the club regarded such flight as dam
gerous to human III. and that II he per-
sisted In making ~ the contest commit
tee would be urged 20 revoke his license
for one year. and II his flight was with
the sanction of the Thomas Aeroplane
Company OF Bath Il was highly probable
that no flying licenses would be granted
to graduates OF the Thomas school dur
inR the time Brown was under suspension.
The Aero Club probably will take steps
10 make possible the imposing OF penalties
more severe than the suspension OF the
avfatOr Tor u rev noHtnS " Hlers persist
in travelling over New York. John Guy
jilpatric. who landed In Central Park
recently. was suspended for four months.
Aviators maintain that there Is no
danger In overcity flying " the machine
Is high enough TO volplane to a safe land
ing place. The volplaning angle is about
one TO six. Brown was 5000 feet above
the city yesterday. He could have vol
planed more than five miles II his motor
had stopped.
But, aside from taking chances with
his license to fly. Brown gave good
demonstration OF careful flying and the
new Thomas Aging boat behaved 10 per-
lection. He took Fausto Rodriguez, the
Cuban baseball fan. from Dobos Ferry 10
the Polo Grounds In fourteen minutes The
distance Is eighteen miles. Rodriguez
dropped a bouquet for John ]. McGraw,
which landed just back OF the grand stand
outside the field and was taken in to Nc
Graw
The boat landed az the Hudson River
Boat Club in the North River at 18TH
street Then Brown and his passenger
fiew back to Dobbs Ferry in twelve
minutes.
Rodriguez and Brown are the first &c
20 over New York In 4 flying boat
although several land machines have fiowr
over the city.
