ADMISSION AS USUAL.

~ CC2N
coffin and held under water, which has
seized New York in its grip, reached its
climax yesterday when HOndini, the ma
gi ciaL. set a world record by permitting
himself to be submerged for one hour,
th|irty-one minutes and thirty seconds in
in the Shelton Hotel pool.
It was a double gesture on HOudini's
part, He desired, first, that American
submergers should hold the leadership
in this splendid sport; and, second, he
set out to prove that a cataleptic trance,
such as Rahman Bey, the %runner.up sub,
merger, employees, is not necessary.
The Bey held the previous record, a
flat, and probably m~Onotonous, hour.
This was established in a swimming pool
several weeks ago after a previous at
tempt in the Hudson had been halted by
occult manifestations which the Bey's
guardian were unwilling to ignore.
The Bey was not present yesterday,
but his spiritual Interpretation, DR.. Here
ward Darlington, was, and said after
ward that although Houdini's achieve
ment was q good stunt it did not make
him lose faith in the lnsC-utable powers
of the Bey.
The only way to settle the matter
said Mr.. Darlington, is to drop them
both into the North River in collins and
see which comes up irst-if any"
Before entering the coffin Houdini
made a speech, in which he branded five
lies within a record time of three min
utes, and then attired himself modestIy
in a pair of blue bathing trunks seven
sizes too large for him.
The coffin was a plain, honest, 100 per
cent American tin box, which c%ontrasted
sadly with the magnificent casketthe Bey
had used, and handling it were three
seagoing plumbers and six paIlbearers
wearing bathing suits.
At 12:08p. M, after making three sup
Elementary speeches in which he nailed
one or two other faIsehoods, Houdini
stepped into his temporary quarters,
which were equipped with such modern
convenience as a telephone and electric
push button, and was lowered into the
somber depths of the Shelton pool
The six paIIbearers attached 1000
pounds of weight to it and this in con-

ers succeeded IN forcing the box to the
bottom Of the pool
The musicians diversions under wa
Ter were limited, He wore, in addition
to his e~Xtravagant bathing trunks, an
Illuminated wrist watch by which he
could watch the minutes WhiZZ by, and
in addition he rang the telephone bell at
frequent intervals. He did not, however,
waste the precious air on spoken words,
as it was obvious that down where he
was he could have heard no interesting
news worth repeating.
The six p~allbearPrs stood on the coffin to
weigh it down for the entire hour and a
half, and the only mishap was when one
shifted his ballast just enough to throw
all of the other brothers into the water,
thus adding a touch of low comedy to
what might otherwise have been a very
melancholy spectacle.
AS the timers announced that Rah-
man Bey's record OF an hour had been
broken there were only mild cheers. but
ia every heart gIowed the proud reaiiza
ton that at last an American held one Of
the most cherished of aQuamarlre re-

A physician announced that the maxi

was 142, which was 70 above his normal.
Then Houdiai made a speech in which
he explained that he had been able to
