here at O'Clock this afternoon, lost
his way in a binding rainstorm and
came down in a potato held nea.
Jericho He and his mechanician re-
ported themselves sore. but I'M

turtle and was smashed.
Another machine, believed to be
that of Lieutenant Reynolds en- route
from Syracuse to Albany. was caugh,
in the storm near Al6ahy and blown
away in the direction Of the Berk-
shires.
( Lieutenant p. H. Logan and Cap

Lieutenant w. c. Brown.
4 A statement regarding the condi.
tions Of the flight was issued tonight
by the American flying club as fol-
lows:
The order in which the MACHINES
complete the race has nothing Ito do
with the award OF prizes. The con-
test is run under handicap conditions
which have been worked out to de.
termine which plane can perform the
nearest to the theoretical perform
ance credited to them by the specih-
cations. The winner cannot be an.
nounced until every machine ha.
finished and the record is checked up
This applies to the majority of thu
prizes. The trophies and some of the
cash prizes are awarded for the
fastest flying time. but the order 81
finishing has nothing to do with
these either. inasmuch as no two
planes started at the same time
The first prize Is $4,000. and the
others total nearly as much.
