Y., Aug. 19.—Confus-ed by the smoke of the great steel plants, Ha,rry N. Atwood, the aviator who 3s flying from St. Louis to Boston, made a wide detour over Buffalo before he could find the race track upon which he was scheduled to alight. By 3 o’clock this afternoon nearly 10,000 persons had gathered at tiie race track to see Atwood alight. At 6 o’clock they were all stiii there. Then the crowd, believing that Atwood had met with a mishap and would not ai- rive, began to leave. At 7:02 o’clock when Atwood swooped down onto the great oval and landed as lightly as a bird comparatively few of the 10,000 were on the ground. The ilight from Erie to Buffalo, a distance of 84 miles, was made in one hour and forty minutes. Atwood arrived in Erie from Swan- ville. Pa., where he spent the night, at 11:10 a. h. it was his intention to pro ceed eastward at once, but owing to high winds he w'as compelled to wait and it was 4:56 this evening before he started for Dunkirk after circling over the temporary aviation field at Erie, The actual flying time from Erie to West Seneca, on tlie city limits of Buffalo and four miles from the center of the city, was one hour and forty minutes. As Atwood covered 84 miles in this flight, it is apparent that bis speed today equalled, if it did not ex ceed, that of the first day of his trip from Ponta, 111., into Chicago, When Atwood left Erie he expected, owing to high winds, to fly only to Dunkirk, but on progressing eastward he passed out of the more dangerous currents. As he was going well and at a moderate height when he reached Dunkirk he concluded to try for his original destination—Buffalo. He passed Dunkirk depot at 5:43 and was cheered by a great orowd^ whijcii liad. assembled In the hope of receiving hiin and entertaining &lm for the night. Ten minutes later he flashed over the little town of Silver Creek, N. aiul at 5:57 the aviator waved his hand to a crowd at Irving, N. Y., only 28 miles from Buffalo. It was then admit* ted that the daring airman would carry out his original plan and mak« Buffalo for the night, barring acci* dent. Angola was reached at 6:07 and Lake View had a glimpse of him, go ing at a terriffic pace, at 6:13, he hav* ing covered the eight miles between the two places In six minutes. The last ten miles of the jountay from Lake View Into Seneca, tli« in trepid flyer covered In twelve minu tes and made a fine descent la an open field at 6:25. In a little while He was again awing coming on into the. city. '' ' Buffalo is 805 miles from St. Lonlsi and 500 from New York. Atwood confident tonight that his aircraft will, sink to earth at Coney Island late nextj Monday night or some time Tuesday. : Atwood is not certain tonight as toi whether he will stop at Rochester in! his flight tomorrow|. He might go on' to Utica, he said. Up until tonight Atwood has flown 805 miles since leaving St. Louis, in 17 hours and 43 minutes. The dis tance from Buffalo to New York is 460 miles.
