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. '

72 minutes, 35 seconds, or three and
a half minutes behind the winner.

afternoon full of racing and stunt-
flying . that held it until long after

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'

I He took off in a ship piloted by Jack

' A squad of air mail ships, from

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.

"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.
