ATRRILLING AIR CIRCUS
Program Carried Out Sunday by
Horchems ON Municipal Field.

Horchems ON Municipal Field.
Parachute jumping, wing walking
and some startling stunts in the man
agement of airplanes were features
of the first aerial circus ever visiting
Topeka - Horchem's Flying circus,
which performed over the municipal
landing field Sunday afternoon.
The members of the circus carried
out their parts without regard to the
fact that an error in the mechanical
management of the circus resulted III
kerosene being placed in the fuel
tanks of the engines, causing the pow
er to be extremely faulty.
In spite of this handicap, Cyle
Horchem, of Ransom, looped the loop
nine times in his Laird plane, and did
other hair-raising stunts for the bene-
fit of the crowd. Horchem and his
wife performed a perfect double para
chute jump, landing side by side on
the field from which their plane,
piloted by J. d. Jernigans formerly a
flyer in the Lafayette escadrille in
France, had taken off.
Harley Douglas, daring wing
walker, capped his series of stunts by
standing on the upper wing of Walter
Beech's af9plane while Beech Topped
the loop in plain view of the crowd.
Douglas was discharged from a hos
pital in Wichita Saturday after in
Juries sustained the previous week
while performing the same stunt.
The circus was in charge of Jack
Reardon of Topeka, salesman for a
Kansas City oil company, who uses a
Laird plane in covering his territory,
and e. B. Lopp, formerly test pilot
for the Longren Aircraft corporation.
