SI)EEINS OVIAt RE-MC! Curtiss Sets New American Record for Fifty Mile Flight-Also Climbs Like Rocket. Atlantic City, N. J., July 11.-Glenn H. Curtiss set an American record for a 50-mile flight in an aeroplane this afternoon by covering a half hun dred measured miles in five laps i along the beach in elapsed time of 11, hour, 14 minutes and 59 seconds. Curtiss was in the air one hour and', thirty minutes and spent one hour; and twenty-one minutes and five sec onds oa the cours,, six minutes and six seconds being deducted for the tuYns at the two ends of the two and one-half mile course. At the end of his 50th mile flight Curtiss swept his machine badk over the waterways on the meadow side of the city and made an entire circuit of, the resort before he descended. In the early evening Curtiss set a14 new work for quick climbing by I sweeping his machine 1,600 feet in the air in five minutes and fifty-one sec onds. After waiting for hours for a slowing down of the sharp South-;] erly wind which swept in from the] ocean, Curtiss rose in the air at 3:22 p. m. 4 Starts the Flight. After a short warming up spin, he 1 swung back over the upper mark made by ralige flags on the board walk beginning at Massachusetts avenue and started on his long flight. Owing to the cross winds, which still held strong in the upper air, Curtiss never reached a faster speed than 50 miles an hour, his average about 40 miles. The time for each of the laps was as follows: First, 6:49 4-5; second, 6:01 2-5; third, 7:37 1-5; fourth, 7:33 4-5; fifth, 8:33 1-2; sixth, 7:39; seventh, 7:27 A 1-2; eighth, 7:29; ninth, 7:21 3-10;< tenth, 7:21 1-5. The course laid out by the officials for the daring aviator was along the edge of the ocean from Massachusetts on the north to Dover avenue on the 1 south, thus bringing Curtiss and his!' flying machine within the range of view of p ople from the inlet down to Ventnor. Practically all of Atlantic 9 City was on the board walk or on the i beach watching the flight. a Brookins Gets Coin.u Curtiss' contract ends tonight, leav- E ing Brookins in possession of the $5,.. t 000 altitude prize won Saturday a evening, when he made a world's rec- s ord of 6,115 feet. The prize will be e given to him tomorrow. The Wright t aviator has not yet announced wheth.. s er he will go after thle 50-mile prize of $5,000, which will -otherwise go to c Curtiss.s Curtiss' spectacular climb of 1,600" f: feet into the air came at the end of c a thrilling series of exhibitions of I1 flying that kept the big crowd of spec tators on the board walk and beach o in a succession of cheers.a Brookins started up immediately i afterward and described sharp curves e and turns, ending with his first ex-b hibition of a triple turn that almost stood his machine on end. Brookins and Coffyn then went up togethert with Brookins driving the biplane,t getting off well after a false start, caused by a loose running rail. Later I in the day Coffyn went up alone, giv- r ing another thrilling exhibition of* f turning and swooping. ,During his lone flight Brookins made a 1,000 foot sweep along the beach just over l the heads of the crowd ending by driv- C ing his machine over the breakers, b hardly a foot from the surface. The exhibition did not conclude un- i til long after sunset. Although Curtiss' contract for fly ing here ends tonight, he will prob ably make exhibition flig4e tomor row and will probably attempt to 1 drop sham bombs on the outline of a! battleship to be marked out on the sand. Brookins and Coffyn will re main until Wednesday and will make an attempt to break Curtiss' record for a quick altitude rise in their( Wright machine. TREES SAVED FLYER'S LIFE. Clifford B. Harmon, Amateur ATiator, Had Narrow Escape in Attempt ing to Pass Over Sound. New York, July 11.-Clifford B. Harmon, well known as an amateur aviator, made an attempt this even ing to fly in aeroplane from Garden City, L. I., across Long Island sound, to the residence of his father-in-law, Commodore E. C. Benedict, at Green wich, Conn. Not only did he fail, but his ma chine fell a distance of 150 feet and was wrecked. Harmon was badly shaken up, but not severly injured, the branches of! trees having broken the fall. After tuning up. Harmon was off. at 5.51 p. in., but the weight of poni toons, which he attached to his craft to insure its floating, proved too much to carry, and he was forced to alight after going less than a mile. :1 h was away again. But as he disappeared in the direction of his iestination, it was apparent that his engine was missing, and when near Rosslyn, L. I., less than seven miles I-om the point of his second start, the teroplane began to descend rapidly in i perilous drop to the tree tops. When the crowd gathered Harmon xas viewing the wreck of his craft. ['he engine was undamaged. He ex plained that just before he dropped only three cylinders of his engiuc xere working and he decided to come lown as best he could. NEWS OF POMARIA.

He is m his way home from Clemson col ege, where he has been for several reeks auditing the books of the in stitution. Mr.. Haltiwanger is now one of the strongest friends and advocates of 31emson college in the country. "And,' 1e said today, "I have not always been i. friend of the institution. In fact, Tvhen I went there several weeks ago o0 do this work, it was rather withi a eeling of unfriendliness. I had read so many unfriendly criticisms of ilemson college in some of the news papers that I was prejudiced against the institution. But after going there, and getting acquainted with what is being done, and the cost of it, my views have undergone a change. I an3 now a firm believer in Clemson col~ lege. "A great deal of money is spent at the college, in one way and another but it is all spent wisely. The figures as to the cost per student amazed me the cost was so small. Of course,] can not give out these figures, but suppose this will be done by the col lege officials. They ought to be made public at any rate, In noder to on ob d peopi. how well he college is being managed. "Clemson college is a most valuable institution. I had no idea of the ex tent of its greatness and usefulness nntil I went there. The people ought to be educated about Clemson. The college has been greatly misrepresent ed." Mr. Haltiwanger audited the books. of the Anderson county officials last C summer and has done a great deal of similar work throughout the State. ! What he says about Clemson will have a great deal of weight and will be very gratifying to the friends of the insti tution. C Items From Whitmire. Whitmire, July 11.-The sermon preached by Rev. D. J.

The mis sionary noted how enviously herI eyes rested on the calico, and he took up a two-yard piece of the yellow, saying: I"I'll give you this if you'll waar it." ''The female draped the calico about her like a skfrt and departed in great glee. "But the next day, nude, as b efore, she returned with the fabric under her arm.
