J-, Nov. 4.—Melvla Vanlman today made a spectacular flight in his dirigible balloon Akron, IH which-he hopes to cross the Atlantic, blit came to grief on the retutti into liie hangar, when the craft suddenly descended on the muddy r«aters olf Grassy Bay, Where it lay marooned until towed back to the starting poiht. It will take several weeks to repair the craft. A crowd numbering several thous ands saw Vanlman get away at 10 o’clock. All business In Atlantic City suspended when it became- known that the Atlantic flyer was aloft. The balloon' quickly reached an altitude of 300 feet and then shot out over Abse^ con inlet at a speed of 35 miles an hour. Vanlman sent the balloon swinging in gdsat circles above Abse- con at a remarkable speed and then performed som# gyn^ons never be* fore mttemiited by a. balloon. He dipped, plu£g«>d ahd volplaoed close to the ground, fh^ rktuniing to his orig inal altitude.

NAUGHTON.) San Francisco, No. 4.—If Kid Cut ler, late of Jack Johnson’s staff, is to be believed, the champion has gone to pieces. If the news Is true, it means, I sup pose, that the gay life of London has done for another great negro heavy weight. Peter .Tackscn was the first that the primrose path of the big city acrosa the water robbed of his light ing ctrength and cimniug. When peter first net foot in the llgtit little isle, he was feted as though he wer^ a foreign prinee. One British noble man offered Peter—his country place some said It was his castle—in tvhich to train. Peter’s popiilarity lasted quite a while. It began to w'ane f.oou af'er bis fight with Frank Slavin, v/hich, according to English standards, was the greatest battle of Peter s car reer. It w^as such a gruelling affair *'■ it it made physical wrecks men. At least, that was the cy : i bhat crystalized and, as nsXlic . Compllshed anything In the prize ring subscQuently, it looked as though there was something to base the ar gument on. In Jackson’s case, it might be said that satiety in the matter of ring con quests contributed to his decline. It was the ambition of his life to de feat Slavin. They had been rivals in Australia since they began boiing. When Jackson accomplished his purpose, he gave himself up to the pleasures of life, and got caught in the swirl of the pace that kills. When his funds grew low he came back to San Francisco. He maintained that a good spell of training would render him as fit for the ring as eve^ He clamored' for a match with Jeffries, then largely a novice, and when the contest took place the once famous colored fighter wilted In a few rounds. A year or so later he was l^d In Ws grave In Australia. Johnson never was and never win be as popular as Jackson, but the same facilities for getting into the London nl^t life are open Ho mm. And, If Cutler speaks the truth, Jack iiM availed • himself of the privilege and is beginning to reap the whirl wind. According to Cutia^^phnson, ike Jackson, wjll have to tox soon M replenish! his treasury. There Is fevery reason' for believln|f ^at a eontest between Johnson ^and Ban Langford is in^prospect In York, but before the day ^8 Cutler tells It, would like, ^ sharp en up his fighting qualities on a couple , of white hopes. . - .The trouble Is. we are ju»t out of them, and not likely to again, as there Is no demand for tnat kind of merchandise. for a while like nobble skipte. btit now white hopes are birds.
