And didn't like the way things went
On this terrestchul ball.

Rained jest as hard on picnic day;

BROKE AIR RECORD
American Aviator Won Curtiss
Trophy at Newport.
Made Eighty Miles an Hour for
Eight Hours.

| Norfolk, Va, Aug. 26.-Victor Carl
| strom, the young American aviator,
captured the Curtiss marine trophy
and about $1,000 in prizes and bonuses
in flight at Newport News in the
new Curtiss in, 100 horsepower,
twin moter hydro-aeroplane.
David H. McCulloch first won the
trophy with a flight of 489 miles in
ten hours, but was topped by Oscar
Brindley, who made 554 miles within
the time limit over the water.
CarIstrom did not require anything
like ten hours to beat these figures
He flew q circular course between
Newport News and Cape Charles and
made 681 miles in eight hours and
forty minutes. The flight was made
in a heavy fog which forced him to
steer by compass.
He also carried a passenger, Ray
mond Kirkum, a mechanic. Kirkum' 8
services were never needed in the
fourteen laps.
The engine never stopped once.
Carlstorm had hoped to make 700
miles without a break, but on the
fourteenth lap. his gasoline gave out
and on alighting he was so far ahead
OF previous records that he did not
take to the air again. He had aver
aged eighty miles an hour for the en-
tire flight. He had still an hour and
nineteen minutes at his disposal when
he stopped.
The event was held under the direc-
ton of Capt. T. S. Baldwin of the At
lantic coast aeronautical station, who
said after the flight:
THE machine used by Carlstrom is
the same used earlier in the week
before members of the navy aeronautic
BOARD. 1t is the most wonderful thing
of its kind in the world and Carlstrom
handled it splendidly. 1t answered
him in everything he desired. We ex-
pect to send this machine to sea for
long voyage within a short time
