Surrounded by an es cort of police, besides the large num per of secret service operatives he .crossed the North river on a ferry, followed by the police boat Patrol on whose deck glittered two rapid Are guns. Then by automobile he went to the home of his brother, Henry W. Taft, at 36 West 48th street. There Troop 4, of squadron A, was drawn up. - As the president's auto . mobile whirled up and bugles, sig nalled, two riders were thrown. Mr, Taft Inquired as to their Injuries they were unhurt before entering me nouse. The prancing horses dashed away through the troopers' lines, as their fallen riders rolled through the street. The men picked themselves up ruefully and set off after their mounts, having given assurance that they were unhurt: The incident caused some excite ment, but the horses, somewhat rest ive, .were easily quieted. A short rest and Mr. Taft was off again, to the Sherman Square Hotel, under the es cort of General George ' B. Loud, chairman of the memorial committee of the G. A.

CURTISS HADE FLIGHT Successful Trip From Albany to New York Made Trip of 150 Miles in Two Hours and 4i Minuts Regarded As One of the Most Successful Hights Ever Made. Tells of Trip, (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, May 30-Admlrers of Glenn H. Curtiss today thronged corridors of Hotel Astor to congratu late the aviator on his Albany-New York flight, which puts him in the forefront of the aviation world. Fa tigued by the" strain of his 159-mile Journey, covered in two hours and 46 minutes, and by the reception accord ed him by enthusiastic New Yorlt, Curtiss rested late today. When he appeared he was lionized by enthus lastic throngs. While the enthusiasm over his re markable performance in many re pects called the most wonderful ever made still rages, a challenge for a flight more daring was made todaj by Charles K. Hamilton, aviator, wno came here from Florida last week to strive for the New York World's $10,' prize in case Curtiss should fail. Cur tins' success and receipt of the prize led today to a proposal by Hamilton of a New York-Chicago race. 'I have no desire to disparage Mr. Curtiss,' said Hamilton; "but the Al bany-to-New York flight is exception ally easy, particularly with two stops allowed. 'It will not be more than two months before feats will be done in the air which will make this seem In significant, i It would be magnificent if a good prize were offered, for a flight .from New York to Chicago. The distance is 960 miles. The terms of the flight should call for its completion within 36 hours, with five or seven not more than seven- stops allowed. 1 will start a fund to raise a purse with a contribution of $2,000. There would be a flight worth wluie. '''- Aviation has made such wonder- progress, even in the last few months, that It is now merely a matter of be ing able to carry sufficient fuel. An experienced man is not hampered by ordinary winds." Curtiss, besides winning the New York World's $10,000, captured a second prize in his historic flight yes terday .securing the Scientific Ameri can's cup for the longest flight in America with a heavier-than-air ma chine. He had previously won two legs on the trophy, and the latest flight gives him the cup. The aviator today declared, short ly .after arising, that he relt some what' sore and stiff from yesterday's trying performance, but that with a little exercise he could put himself in shape to do the flight again. He was no more delighted over the outcome of the journey, after four days of waiting than was Mrs. Cur tiss, who followed him from Albany by special train. 1 knew he would do it," suid Mrs, Curtiss, smilingly, today. "With good weather there was no doubt about it. And It has made me tre mendously happy. It was the best flight he ever made affd I hope he will let it remain so for some time and take a rest.. I will be satisfied it he never goes up again. He has done enough for the present. Curtiss himself today declared that the strain of the trip itself was slight compared with that of preparation. That long wait for propitious wea ther was the most disagreeable fea ture of the whole affair," he said. The flight added much to my knowledge of air currents. That was the first thing I began to study They tell me that the river boais about Albany whistled me a God speed as I rose, but I did not. hear it There was too much doing, looking for air currents and picking out a course. , 1 IX I found the air calm at a great uiiuuue, i lnienaea to map out a course on that level; if better nearet the earth, then to follow the lower course. But the day could not nave been better. The air seemed per fectly tranquil. I rose to kt least 1,000 feet, and before many minutes I seemed to forget the mechanical workings of the plane, so smoothly did it run, and began to fee: as if 1 were soaring on wings of my own. No more magnificent scene could U,e imagined than that of the superb Hudson1 valley from a soaring aero plane. "It was delightful, swinging up there. - "The aviator does not realize that he is suspended in air unless ne meets a current that sends the plane plunging. Then he feels like an ele vator In a skyscraper dropping. Not n pleasant sensation at all. s (Continued on Tage Two.) y t A; $r, wvjr pi fl J-ifH I-.'- . rrWA iHl 4 ,& : mm ifx ' ' ' i V imp'' y 1 i' 3T Ski T It -1 fi(?il ' . .Miss Vivian CitfiiUl (upper left) Mrs. Anthony Drexel, Jr.. ui'c Mai jin i,.
