WINNING THE RECORD FOR ALTITUDE

NEW YORK.—Among the notable feats at the international aviation meet at Belmont park was that of Ralph Johnstone, who established a new world's record for altitude. In a “baby Wright roadster" of only 35 horse power he reached a height of 9,714 feet, exceeding by 523 feet the Might attained in France on October 1 by Henry W. Wnymalon of Holland. Johnstone has been flying only since last June.
