Mr. f'rowell served an official staiter of the trunKcatitineutnl derby, the sreate.t aviation contest in history, in which nearly 1(H) army airplanes nre participating. About sixty of them started from here thl morning for 11 flight to San l'raniisi-o and return. The others nre timing heie from San Francisco nnd will go back to the l'a rifie roaet. The assistant ,..-retary of war de cided to take n brief flight after most of the contestants had started, lie and Lieutenant Cleary were strapped in the marhlne. but climbed out unaided n few seconds after it had crashed to the earth. The war official's first re mark after regaining his feet was : "I'm sorry the ride was so short. Tt 'was certainly one of the shortest on record." The machine had been in the air less than a minute. Mr. Crowell said he would make n flight in unother ma chine later in the day. The pilot, explaining the accident. said the engine stopped and in order to avoid running into a hangar nnd in juring a number of persons ho was forced to turn his machine abruptly Around with the result thnt it toppled over. The wrecked machine was not in the race. Machle Is First to Marl Lieutenant .1. U. Machle. in a He IIavllaml-4 machine equipped with a Liberty motor, was the first to leave Mineola, starting at 0:10 a. m. Ser jeant Jesse D. MeClure accompanied him. As each machine took the air it quickly climbed to a high altitude and within a few minutes was lot to view. The crowd on Roosevelt Field was kept back a distance of nearly a mile from the starting point and was apprised by army messengers of the departure of each competitor, whose number could not be discerned owing to the haze.

Ten machines, all of which flew in a northwesterly direction, had left Roose velt field by 0:."i0 n. m.. maintaining a speed of 120 to lfiO miles an hour. Flying Conditions Excellent Because of the fine flying conditions army officials predicted many of the contestants would reach Cleveland by nightfall. The race gives the false impression that aerial nctlvity in the United States Is greater than anywhere els? in the world, said Mr. Crowell. The contest, which is limited to mili tary aviators, is for the purpose of test ing the reliability of the planes nnd stimulating interest in recruiting for the air service.
