Rodgers, approaching a BUC< essful com i>l et ion of his ocean to-ocean jaunt, Soared into Pasadena at 1.04 p. m. today on the last spurt of CO miles from Pomona, and from an altltudo Of several thousand feet landed at Tourname.it park. He will fly to the coast tomorrow, landing at the edge of the Pacific. O'llclal figures of Rodgers' flight given by his manager show: Total distance, 4*231 miles; Hying time, 1,02 I minutes. Rodgers landed at 4:10 o'clock. To morrow he expects to fly over the Pa cific and thus make the epoch-making feat of aviation really an ocean-to ocean flight ?0,000 People Saw Him. Rodgers uppeared in the sky line shortly after 3 o'clock. He wasl sighted first by telescope from the solar observatory on Mount Wilson I word Hashed down the mountain by telephone brought 20,000 persons to Tournament park, Plying at a height of about 5,000 feet, Rodgors hovered over the city for a few minutes, then circled In a wide spiral and volplaned down. Ills landing was a signal for a rush, and Rodgers literally was mobbed. After ward the aviator declared his ribs surely would be black and blue. Rodgers started on the last dash j of his flight from Flanning, Cal., a little town out in the desert, where his arrival bad interrupted the only diversion of the year, the funeral dance of the Mojave Indians. Taking the air at noon, Rodgers ascended gracefully In the face of a 20-mile wind until he had reached an altitude of 400 feet. Then be set his course directly west and sparked his motor up to a 30-mile gait. Wife and Mother Followed. ROdgers' wife and mother, who have j been following him on a special train j all the way from New York, left Ban ning Immediately afterwards. The Hier arrived over Colton at 1:37 p. m. with his altitude Increased to 1.000 feet and he kept this height until he neared Pomona, 21 miles from Pasa dena. Ho remained thereuntil after 3 o'clock, renewing his supply of gas oline and refilling the tank of the leaky radiator that brought him near disaster yesterday. After leaving Pomona, Rodgers kept his biplane pointing upward until he had climbed over the lleecy' sheets of vapor flowing near the tops of the highest peaks of the mountains. He s|>ed on to the finish at. Tournament park, on a level with the Mount Wil son observatory and flying close to the ragged sides of the mountain. His machine, a "baby" Wright that has only an 18-foot spread of wings." seemed to hesitate for an instant as the aviator careened It Into the spiral glide. At this time he was directly over the park, but as he came down his Hier decrlbed ever widening curves until he was within a few hundred feet of the ground. Then Rodgers per formed one of the dips Arch Hoxsey was taking when he was killed at Domlnguoz field within sight of Mount Wilson last December. Not in Thirty Days. Rodgers* first word after he had been finally rescued from the clamor ous crowd was: "Well, one thing is certain, you can not do a transcontinental flight in 30 days." Rodgers also declared that htg own flight, begun September 17 was fin ished today, 49 days later, would not be duplicated for a year or more. There is little danger from a cold or fiom an attack of the grip except vhen followod, by pneumonia, and that r.av er happens when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. This remedy has won Its great reputation and exten sive sale by its remarkable cures of colds and grip and can be relied upon with Implicit confidence. For sale bv all dealers.
