Kirk was dissuaded from making a second drop yesterday afternoon, He is an Omaha man, demonstrating parachutes made by he Scott Tent and Awning com pany. Ordinarily he is engaged in the prosaic business ot running Auto Repair" company. '""" I: AjC ' f Clarence B. Coombs of New York is a happy youth today. Coombs didn't win the Pulitzer trophy race as he hoped he might but he still re tains his perfect health and there were many spectators at the north field Thursday, who shuddered whenvcr the Cactus Kitten came, in view. The Cactus Kitten is said to be the hardest ship to manage in the world. After the race Coombs admitted it was so "wild" he just let it go and made no attempt to Bank it sharply into the turns as the other pilots did. He had to jerk his ship around. ... And as he landed there were many at the field, particularly those who knew something of the technique of the flying game, who held their breath until the ship came to a stop. ' "Our Two Speed Races Thrill , . Thousands at Air Meet (Contlnaml from race One.) cause I was driving straight into the Min and could not see the turn un til I was too far into it." -In the 75-mile class Harry Buff of Topcka, piloting a Longren H-2 biplane, finished third, his time being 72 minutes, 35 seconds, or three and a half minutes behind the winner. Andy Nielsen of Council Bluffs, in a JN-4D, was fourth in 77 minutes, 30 seconds, thereby winding the spe cial prise of $100 awarded by A. H. Fetteri for the iastest Jennie in tuc face. ' Hodge Smith of Grand Island. In a t-aira Awanow, new into nun place; W. B. Robertson of St. Louis, fn a Canuck, was seventh; J. w Saunders, in another Canuck, was eisrhth. and Charles Patterson of Chicago, in a Curtlss-motored Jen nie, dropped out after the first lap because of engine trouble. . i No accidents occurred to mar the program and a crowd estimated, at about 5,000 person witnessed an afternoon full of racing and stunt- flying . that held it until long after 5 o clock. ' Horchem Entertains Crowd. , Cyle Horchem, in the Laird Swal low, hopped ore the held several times during the afternoon. He thrilled the crowd on one occasion by "zooming" ,up from the ,field with a start of less than 1UU yards. , . Horchem performed every "stunt" known to modem aviation during his flights, according to airmen watch ing tifm. He flow wich the top of his -ship toward the earth; he went ' into tail spins at such a low altitude that veteran flyers held their , breath; he went into side slips so close ta the crowd that they drew back in' Icar. ' ' A "snirnl leaf" droo. socalled. was one nf HnrchemV arromnlUhments. Buck Weaver, also flying a' Laird Swallow, vied with Horchem in Tstunt" flying. Wing Walker Active. , ' Early in the afternoon Pat , C. McCarty, "wing walker," took off with J. Hodgcns Smith in a JN-4D'. JMcCartv walked out on the lower , plane of 4he ship, crawled to the up per plane, thence back to the tail, where he was perched when his ship landed. During this flight Pilot Smith did a, ."wing over", with Mc Carty on the tip of a wing. . .The Otowd applauded when the ship came to a halt on the field. John F. Kirk of Omaha made the only parachute drop of the afternoon. I He took off in a ship piloted by Jack Atkinson, rising to a high altitude. 'His parachute opened quickly and he descended slowly, landing at the i north end of- the field. !... v Mail Planet Soar Over. ' A squad of air mail ships, from . Ak-Sar-Ben landing field, soared over the North Omaha field in close formation. There were five 'shies in ; the squad, which flew low over the field several times, then disappeared f on the horizon. When directly over t the field the roar from the Liberty motors in the mail ships drowned ' out the droning of other ships flying - higher above the field. ; Capt. H. D. Robertson tn his Sport Farman biplane won several rounds , nf annlaucr for his stnnt wnrV. .The T. ' r . i diminutive rarman is one oi me most remarkable trick planes made and Captain Robertson put ' it through loops, step-downs, falling leaf twists led other stunts. , Another stunt performer was Er rold Bahl- in his Lark monoplane, carrying the 3-cylinderect, Lawrance motor. .His falling leaf stunt was admirably executed and the mono plane responded well in every turn he made. Former Head of Defunct Lincoln Bank Arrested Lincoln, Nov. 4. Dr. F.'P.-Dwig- gins, former president of the de funct American State bank, was ar rested Thursday night at San Fran 'Cisco on a state charge of borrow ing funds from a bank while an offi cer of the bank, according to a mes sage received by State Sheriff Gut nyera rnoay morning, in reie- gram stated that Dr. Dwiggins jwtrnld extradition. "Side-Slips'From Air Meet In spite, of red flags stuck in the center of the field to warn aviators of patches of mud, one of the Oriole planes in the first race yesterday aft ernoon ran into difficuhics in land ing, and had to be pulled out: Wheels sank nearly six inches in the ground. When "jiggling" with the motot running failed to loosen it, mechanics took hold of the wings and pushed it. to firmer territory. Rumor that the body of Harry Eibe, Chicago parachute jumper, drowned Thursday when he fell in the Missouri river, had been re covered, spread like wildfire among the crowds at the air meet yesterday afternoon 'when an automobile and two motorcycles raced to a point on the field near the river bank, and photographers and field officials ran down to the shore. Officials, with difficulty, restrained the crowd from surging over the field, in the middle of a race. It was a talse alarm. J. M. Larson, owner of the Lai son all-metal monoplanes at the air meet, was called to the officials' ten: yesterday afternoon by a long-distance telephone call from Kansas, City. "Can you take hie to New York in 'one of your planes?" came a voice over the wire. "I'm in a hurry, I'll pay you well." "You've made a little mistake," the airplane fancier returned, swishing his silver-headed stick in a wicked circle. "I'm no taxi man. I'm not 'in the flying game for money. I've flown 2lX),000 miles and never gat a nickel for it yet. If I knew -yes, I'd take you for nothing, but I don't. Good bye." Boats were in readiness cn the river bank at the air field yesterday, under command of "Admiral" Tukey, ready to rescue any luckless airman who chanced to drop into the muddy waters of the Missouri. But no body dropped. '"What's a 'jenny' planer" one sweet young thing asked her mascu line companion at the air meet yes terday. But he was ready. "Oh, that's just like the ;ume on a launch, don't you know?" was the swift comeback. Well," if you laughed, what is a "jenny" plane? "Hot dog" booths on the air mail field did a rushing business yestcr day. Mechanics and aviators on the field, not to mention a Host of officials who are unable to get back to town at meal times, are living on frankfurters and java'. Crowds which thronged over the field also helped to keep the booths busy. Col. A. B. Pcrsinger, owner ot "Hardscrabble ranch, near Lodge pole, Neb., accompanied by Mrs. Persinger and Will Jewctt, attended the aero congress, having motored from their home. . Injured Pilot To Be Confined for Weeks Capt. II. E. Hartncy's injuries will keep him in the hospitU here for several weeks, at least, accord ing to Dr. Will Ross of the medical staff of the air meet. The injured pilot who crashed near Honey Creek, la., late Thurs day while in the Pulitzer flight, suf fered both a fracture and dislocation of the hip. He passed a fairly comfortable night at . the Methodist hospital where he was taken in an ambulance, and was reported resting easily yes terday. With this comforting assurance, his wife, who is at Hotel Fontenelle, retired to her room to seek a little rest after her long night's vigil.
