ATWOOD NOW AT HIS DESTINATION

Expected to Finish Long Flight Early This Afternoon. DELAYED BY ENGINE TROUBLE Travels at Astonishing Clip Down Hudson, but Is Compelled to Stop for Night Almost in Sight of Goal. New York, Aug. 25.—At Shcepshead Bay this afternoon Harry N. Atwood was expected to finish his aerial trip from St. Louis. He could easily have done so yesterday had not his engine “acted up.” At 11:30 in the forenoon when the biplane was rounding Hook Mountain, thirty-one miles from New York, on what was to be the last lap Of the sprint down the Hudson, the connecting rod flew loose and began trying to beat the machine to pieces. Atwood glided down and hitched his mount to an apple tree tWo miles and a half north of Nyack. It was late before the engine was fixed. Atwood has traveled 1,245 miles and has broken the record for an unbroken series of distance flights. The previous mark was 1,164 miles. The voyager flashed down the Hudson river at a fifty miles gait. He passed Stuyvesant, Hudson, Catskill Point, Kingston and Staatsburg, flying serenely and was sighted by Poughkeepsie at 8:59 o’clock. The sky there was cloudy and the breeze was trying to irritate the placid Hudson. As Atwood approached the high cantilever bridge at Poughkeepsie he ducked and shot under it close to the water. He was keeping an even course about 200 feet above the river when Poughkeepsie, tooting frantically from ev?ry factory thistle, saw the last of him. He had been in view only three minutes. He rounded Storm King mountain without mishap, sailed by West Point, passed over the Dick mansion at Garrison end came to earth on a level spot back of the New York Central railroad between Garrison and Cold Springs. In an hour and three quarters the engine seemed to be placated and at 11:05 o’clock Atwood set forth once more. His destination was New York. At full speed he cleft the air over the middle of the river and in twenty-five minutes was abreast of Tarrytown. But three minutes later the engine that hadn’t squeaked in all the voyage from St. Louis until this time attempted suicide and Atwood descended to observe that it was pretty tough, thus having to give up the hope of an eleven day trip when almost in sight of the spires of New York and the ocean.
