of tic Louts Louis Paulhan the aviator made a night at the tho I fair lasting 30 10 minutes and 30 I seconds attaining a height ot of about fact describing all sorts Bort ot of n showing perfect control ot of his machine and then made a perfect descent descant the shouts shout shattered the tho theair air t I which the had just jUHl left p left leCt the ground at and the big Farman biplane touched the ground once more at 3 5 Ills HIs greatest speed l On m a very short stretch about 40 miles an hour His HIR sus lathed flight varied from 50 0 to and much ot of his time In the air wa was spent In evolutions both laterally and per pel perpendicularly Time Pine and again he at attempted attempted tempted to get gel Into the tho higher strata ot of the tho air but the atmospheric rarity together with the cold which con congealed lubrication and prevented per por perfection ot of motor work refused to bear beal the thO weight ot of his heavy macl machine no high higher t er r Ihan the zon zone which is directly affected b by the refracted atmosphere from the earths surface Paulhan had substituted another machine for Cor the ono one In which he had I tailed failed on two previous attempts The bIplane in which he made his hili sue mc ful night carried with it when whon It soared roared Into the all air almost 1400 1100 pounds In nil all This lacks but i pounds ot of being ot of n a aton too ton It was equipped with a j power engine while Ue the theother other machine was rated at 38 Thu Tho engine and trimming weighed about m pounds there were pounds of petrol the tho frames tramell weighed pounds I Paulhan other fixtures making uli the balance PERFECT GETAWAY The Tho getaway was p perfection on There Wag little preliminary work every thing having been pl placed d In rea readiness lne s during the morning Some Bomo little was had with the tho sparking but thIs was overcome and five minutes after aller he had taken hIs seat Root he gave the signal gnal The hold or of the assistants was loosened and the machine scurried like a hugo frightened bird toward the western fence A groan or of disappoint I scent ment went up when it ft was seen that ho he approached the without lift lIet Ing and more than ono one head was turned away j When not moro more than 50 feet from the tho j t fence nce ho he began to shoot upward grad ua I I holding n a straight westerly dl di direction Upward steadily until ho at attal tal tamed nod a height of feet Ceet at an anglo angle ot of about 40 degrees M he Went and on onI onward I ward until ho he was over the Jordan river And In this territory with thousands ot of following him ho homade made mado trips north and south ot of about of a mile mHo winding about 1 In the tho air eu currents circling dipping crossing previous trails Ume and again I trying trIng this loved and that always In perfect control ot of his machine The Tho crowd was spellbound They rushed keep to various vantage points to track ot of the ma chine far Car off orr to the west and when whon ho he el disappeared nt at times Umes below the range of vision Islon there thero was a general easiness tWitching or of fingers and manifest un Then when he would again n appear appeal steadily climbing upward there came a Teat great shout of oC relief and en at the skill and nerve or of this conqueror of oC the air Paulhan made his main exhibit over Oar a countr country where there was least danger In ot of case accident TURN TO J LANDING lING The machine br breaks k out there only myself and the machine It breaks over the people who cnn can tell was his sen remark when asked why he did not give his hili exhibition dIrectly over tho grounds vision rhe return of oC the aviator to direct he has hns Wag nas one of the most daring teals ever eer performed He descended to n a height of not more than 50 feet going C east over the grand stand turn in ing to the north and west with the track then as n lac he neared the west wesl end of the tho grounds turned In a ver very small halt half circle dipped easily lIy and grace tull fully landed JI lightly and skidded alon along for Cor 50 feet and sat quietly wiping the frozen tears from his e eyes es while the thc crowd displayed nn an enthusiastic lung power P Paulhan ihan said sad last night through Ed win in Clear Cleary his manager that his ma chines are too heavy hewy for an any r record rd at tempts at this altitude He said that the they ml might ht he characterized all as road stel of the air being constructed OR es for strength and endurance To attain nn any great heIght In this at he he remarked n china ni or of great and with the most powerful machine possible t bo be u used and the tho flights must bo be made In warm weather The lubrication does docs not work well In the cold You must all that flying In machines is but in Its BWl tiling clothes clothe and there thoro are man many things which wo we have not as 18 yet been en able to combat But this has been the tate fato with all aJl great We will con quor eer everything It if you rou only have pI pa and give u us time Immediately Immediate after the exhibition the machine was waI dismantled and packed preparatory to removal to Denyer where eXhIbitions will be given Tuesday and Wednesday From there the party goes to Now Orleans for tor the tho Mardi Gras afterward working north and east to New X York filling dates at different places SATURDAYS FAILURE Tim Tho two unsuccessful attempts on Saturday were caused L ed b by want of oC knowledge of oC flying In III high altitudes and b by cold which mused caused with the tho lubrication The long tedious de lay hy was WOJ causal b by the fact that the tho machine was not taken from Crom the car until after noon owing to del delay a and that It takes time to put it together I Paulhan absolutely refuses to 11 at atan I an any time unless ho is 18 Us d with the condition or of hIs machine When the machine was In readiness It 1 was found that there w was no gasoline on hand and n a hurried trip had to be necessitating a further dela delay I iOn On the first attempt Paulhan got oft orr the ground but not outside ot of the tho en Shortly at afterward another at attempt 1 tempt succeeded In raising the machine from the tho ground In nine seconds at attaining a height or of about 16 feet clear clearing I i ing 3 the track fences and alighting Intine In I tine tho outer enclosure The attempts were disappointments to a vast crowd many numy ot of whom had stood and i I endured the cold for Cor hours Paulhan was ac also greatly chagrined but ro TO marked that San Francisco waited two da days s before he able to make an ascent He attributed his Inability to fly to the rarity ot of the atmosphere combined with the tho tact fact that his motor neither worked wen well nor was wac ot of suf sufficient sufficient power On hlll his successful flight the machine WM was different and he had increased his power by b ver P GOT Paulhan took out of oC the city some something om thing like When negotiations first opened with his mann manager r rEdwin Edwin Clear Cleary at Los Angeles a guar antee ot of was demanded This 11 Is seemed exorbitant to o Joseph E Caine secretary of oC the tilO Commercial club and after burning the wires and Ule use uro ot of much stationery the French party was Induced to come to Salt Lake and take their chances Paulhan received practically the entire receipts at the gates gatell ns as well as a percentage ot of the Iho privileges I A feature not nn an attractive one ot of the tho affair was the selling ot of the same ame which were used usel In Los Angeles with but a short enfolding and them They rhey carried with thorn thom a picture of Madame Paulhan Cane banners were also very delusive In theIr appearance unfolded developing Into los Lo Angeles Angel souvenirs These minor happenings are attributed b by the Commercial club management to the Ule want of time to 10 prepare for
