of more than 1,000 feet, although an
official measurement was not taken.
He had a red letter day in a double
sense. In his experience as an aviator,
taking up Crown Prince Frederick
William as a passenger and more than
doubling the altitude record which he
pado recently over the same field.
The crown prince had been con
stantly urging Wright since ht first
saw the American fly to take him up
as a passenger. Wright evaded this
responsibility while mailing flights Rt
the Tempelhof field, owing to thi? un
favorable winds, but since the begin
ning of the flights at fiornsfetlt field,
near Potsdam, the prince had been
telephoning the aviator every morn
ing, asking him if he was ready to
gratify his request. Wright finally
consented Saturday.
With regard to his passenger, the
crnwn prince, Mr. Wright said: "The
prince did not sny much more than
'tine,' during the flight, but I was able
to read his impressions from his face,
I never took up a passenger who look
ed so pleased. He Just smiled when
we started and he kt?pt smiling all
along. I felt a great responsibility
In having the future German emperor
as a passenger. Not that I mistrusted
the machine, but any liU irregular
ity might cause the people mi'viety. I
stayed low at first but the pifnce kept
urging me to go higher. '
TRAGEDIES OF FAR NORTH
Crew of Crushed Whaler Picked Up;
Story of Cannibalism.
Tragedy In the icy waters of the
Far North formed the burden o
the news brought to the port of St
Johns, N. F., by the Hudson Pay com

whaler Paradox, nnd the story of nn
Kslilnio who, driven to cannibalism by
starvation, ate his child, and shooting
several neighbors who attempted sum
mary punishnn-nt, fled Into the track
less wilderness of lee.
The Paradox, one of the fleet of Dun
dee whalers, met the fate of her com
panion ship Snowdrop, when she was
crunched in the ice floes oft Baffln
Land, early In August a year ago.
The crew with scanty provisions made
their perilous way over the broken Ice
towards the mrinlnnd and were picked
up by the Hudson Hay company's
steamer Pelican, which took them to
Fort Churchill, where they remained
until the anlvr-1 of tho Adventure on

and hunting season had been a failure
and driven mad hy hunger he cut the
throat of one of his children and then
ate the little victim.
When the man's neighbors learned
of the horrible crime they attacked
lilm according to the primitive law of
their race. The outcast fled to his
Igloo and beat off nil assaults, shooting
down several of the attacking party
and escaping into the wilderness.
Whether he finaily succeeded In reach
ing some remote settlement where tho
news ot his crime had not reached or
whether he succumbed to starvation Is
not known.

HUDSCN-FUL1 ON PARADE
8o Many Foreign Military Men Nevei
Before Seen on American Streets.
Twenty-five thousand men of arim
marched In Xew York city past the
inasbed representatives and Bpecla.
erivoys of 37 nations, while two mil
liori citizen spectators shouted them
selves hoarse in cheers. The greal
military parade was the climax of thf
Hudson-Fulton celebration.
Although there were tremendous
ovations for each body of American
troops and unstinted applause In over
whelming volume for the British sail

the day went to the sailors of the Ger
man fleet, a picked body of magnifi
cent men. who as they reached the
reviewing stand fell into the formal
slap-slap of the parade goose-step and
burst Into "My Countiy, 'TIs of Thee,"
with an overwhelming volume ol
brussea and a fervor which took away
the breath of the listeners. The spec
tators sat silent for a moment and
then, rising barehended, cheered and
cheered and cheered again, and waved
hats and handkerchiefs.
So many men representing so many
branrhes of the war departments of
the world have not been seen on Amer
ican streets before; so many wearing
American colors have not been seen
since the days of the Civil war. The
total count of thoe in line outnum
bered the enlisted roll of the Amerl
ran regulnr army before the Spanish
American war. Four thousand four
hundred police kept the crowd In line.
The parade followed strictly the or
der of oflieial precedence. First came
Admiral Sir Edward Seymour's men
the bluejackets and marines of the
British fleet; then the Germans, and
following the men of the Netherlands
and the Italian midshipmen In com
pany front with their sailors bringing
up the rear. Then came the repre
sentatives of the 1'nlted Stales with
the West Point cadets leading.
Then followed the coast artillery
the Vnlted Stptes marine band of the
Atlantic fleet tn scarlet and gold, the
marine corps, the sailors of the various
ships, the naval militia, the National
Guard and lastly the drab-garbed reg
ulars. The cadets of the Argentine

a plare between the American sailors
and the naval militia.

P TO
Prevented Wright's Flight Over
New York's High Buildings.
Congratulated by Major General Leon
ard Wood and Other Army Officers
Who Witnessed His Flight Up the
Hudson From Governor's Island.
Wright Goes to Washington Today.
Curtiss' Machine Taken Apart and
Shipped to St. Louis.
Xew York, Oct. 5. Wilbur Wright
niade a Fucressful flight yesterday
from Governor's Island across the
bay and up the Hudson to Grant's
tomb. The morning flight was made
under conditions only moderately fa
vorable. He had intended to Improve upon his
achievement of the morning by mak
ing a longer and more hazardous flight
at sunset, but the crippling of his mo
tor just as he was about to start on
the evening attempt dashed his hopes
as well as those of thousands who had
assembled on Governor's Island and
along the waterfront to cheer him on.
When the air vessel reached the
British cruiser Argyll, anchored an
eighth of a mile above Grant's tomb,
Wright brought his direction rudders
into play and, describing an easy and
graceful curve, started on his return
journey down the river. The wind con
ditions which had bothered him on the
journey up were now more favorable
and It was here that the seed possi
bilities of the machine were demon
strated. While the ten miles up
stream occupied nearly twenty min
utes, .the return flight was made In
little mote than 13 minutes, or at a
rate of approximately 42 miles an hour.
Alighted With Ease of a Bird.
Xearing the harbor entrance again
he was confronted with the same con
ditions which had caused him to vary
his altitude on the way up. Again he
lowered himself and when he reached
the open water of the bay ho was fly
ing barely 60 feet above the surface.
Thence onward he gradually lessened
his height. Past Governor's Island
the machine sped, an eighth of a mile
over the bay; then veering sharply
around, Wright headed swiftly for the
landing place, on which he settled with
the ease of a bird, amid the enthusias
tic plaudits of soldiers and civilians.
Among the first to extend his con
gratulations was Major Genernl Leon
ard Wood, U. S. A., commanding the
department of the East, who had been
an interested spectator. Other army
officers warmly shook the aviator by
the hand, exclaiming: "It Is a splendid
performance; I congratulate you."
The flight was a surprise to all
Throughout the Hudson-Fulton cele
bration crowds had waifc'd In vain for
the flight up the Hudson, expecting
spectacular performances from both
Wright and Glenn Curtiss. But with
the exception ot Wright's flights on
Wednesday last when he encircled the
statue ot Liberty, the elements pre
vented any substantial flight. Wright's
last performance wns hailed as spec
tacular, nnd as It by magic, the new
spread along the river front from the
Hattery to Harlem. The tops of office
buildings, apartments, dwellings nml
other structures were soon crowded
with humanity, who witnessed his up
stream Journey.
There was keen dlsapolntment
when the mishap to the motor pre
vented a second (light, for tho aviator
had announced Immediately after the
conclusion of his morning flight thnt
ho would make a longer and more
spectacular one In the afternoon,
when he proposed to fly not only over
water but over the less monumental
buildings hedging the water front of
lower Xew York, thence westward un
til he reached the Xew Jersey shore,
and back to Governor's Island.
Repairs Will Require Days.
Wright was preparing for the sec
ond flight when the accident which
marred a day of achievement occurred.
Due to excessive explosive pressure a
cylinder head blew loose, and shot
through tho canvas of the upper piano,
ripping u large hole. As soon ns the
damage was ascertained Wright or
dered the machine wheeled bark to Its
shed. Such repairs ns were needed to
1 1 ii t this flyer into commission again,
he said, would occupy several days
and he could not stop in New York
that length of time.
Ho was asked If the accident could
have happened while tho machine was
up In the air.
"Yes, it couid have," he said, "any
thing can happen In tho air."
He was confident, however, even In
such a perilous contingency he could
have brought his biplane to earth on
even keH and without harm to himself.
The Curtiss machine, which It had
been hoped would also fly, was taken
apart in the morning and shipped to
St. Louis. Curtiss was summoned to
llammonilsport, X. Y., early In the
day on Important business, but he will
leave for St. Louis today to give ex
hibition flights there in connection
with the centennial celebration.
Will of Tony Pastor Probated.
