Special Dispatch to The Tribune

DAYTON. Ohio, Sept. 28.-Lieuten-
ant John A. MacReady, Of the United
States Army Air Service, established a
new worlds record for altitude to-day
by driving his LIE Pere battleplane
10000 feet (about ~ mies) above sea
level in one Of the most thrilling
flights in the annals Of aviation. He
also made new worlds record for
the rapidity of the tremendous climb,
reaching the peak Of his fight hour
and 80 minutes after leaving the ex-
perimental air station atsMcCook Field
near here.
The last 5000 feet of the climb was
achieved under the severest condi-
tions to which any human being has
ever been subjected. Lieutenant Mac
Ready ascended in temperature more
than 60 degrees below zero. During
that fateful stage Of the flight the
frigid atmosphere CONCEALED the tube
through, which he breathed oxygen and
formed film of ice over his goggles
which eventually completely blinded
the aviator.
Struggling desperately in the cold
Lieutenant MacReady succeeded in con-
Meeting up to his headgear the emerg-
ency oxygen tank in the machine, and
with its aid gained new lease on life
sufficient to enable him to force the
biplane from $4,000 to 40,800 feet.

the machine in cloud which the rare
atmosphere was unable to dispel. AS
soon as the engine expired the cold
froze over the goggles of the Lieuten-
ant and blinded him.
Undaunted, he threw forward his
control stick and began a giddy glide OF
seven and quarters miles back to
earth. AS he plunged down into the
denser and warmer atmosphere the ice
on his goggles began to melt away, and
few thousand feet above McCoob
Field he was able to start the engine
again and come to perfect landing on
his home field.
In his flight to-day Lieutenant Mac
