seconds. He might hare made better time on his first day’s journey, but he became confused by the railroad tracks a t Greycourt, N. J., and had flown off his mapped out route for some distance before he discovered his mistake. He Was up early the following morning. Intent on making the longest one day flight ever made, but met with his first
feet, one of his planes struck a tree, which threw him out of his course, and he crashed full speed into another tree. The branches of the tree partly broke the force of his fall, bu t his machine was almost completely wrecked. The next three days were spent in making repairs, and he was able to resume bis flight on Sept. 21.
With a favorable wind he left Middletown, and, after covering a distance of ninety-six miles in sixty-nine minutes. he had to descend at Hancock because of engine trouble. An approaching storm forced him to abandon his trip for the day. He had better luck } on the 22d, reaching Elmira after eov- ‘ ©ring 172 miles during the day. On the 23d he was compelled to land at Canisteo, fifty miles further, because 1 of engine trouble. In making his de- j scent toward what he thought was j farm land he landed in a swamp so heavily that the lower part of his b i-1’ plane was smashed. c I
Crashes Into a W ire Fence, jHe was able to continue his flight on J
the 24th, however, but again met with 1 an accident a t Red House, near Sala- j manca, after a ninety-nine mile flight j He alighted near Red House to repair j a spark plug which bothered him, and 1 after tuning up he took his seat for a I fresh start. The uneven surface of i the ground and the peculiar slant of the wind bore down on the planes of his machine, and he crashed into a double line of barbed wire fence. Both propeller blades were shattered and , one wing was torn to ribbons, but Rod- 1 gers escaped without a scratch. }
Repairs and a storm prevented aflight for th e n ex t three days, b u t on ■the 28th he reached Kent, O., with a flight of 204 miles. Another storm onth e 29th kept th e m achine on th e . ground and on tbe 30th he flew ninety- five miles, landing at Rivarre, Ind., .near D ecatur. l i e battled w ith three v io lent rainstorm s on Oct. 1, in w hichhis life w’as endangered several times. [but m anaged to reach H untington, Ind., thirty-six miles away.
Rodgers came to grief on Oct. 2 while attempting to make a test flight at Huntington before resuming his , coast to coast trip. His biplane crashed into a sharp rise in the ground when he tried to dodge some telephone wires, a swift wind preventing him from gaining any altitude and fore- \ tog him to pass under the wires. The * accident delayed him the next two * days, and on O et 5 he was again on his way, reaching Hammond, In<b, and bringing him 123 miles nearer Chicago.
Rodgers had planned to cross the •date line from Hammond to Grant Park, HI., but weather conditions 1 forced him to postpone the attempt. * It was not until O f. 8 that he was lblo to make the fl./ht which carried him into Chicago and l.lhb miles from his starting point in New York. Ur ; to f la t time he had covered the Bio: miles In a* total flying time of 21 hour and 53 minutes. Later in the day fa
from Chicago, increasing his total distance from New York to 1,234 miles.
Ho was able to reach Springfield on Oct. 9 after covering the distance from Joliet iu eight hours, including stops at Streator, Peoria and Middletown. Oct 10 saw Rodgers at Marshall, Mo., a fter a flight of 214 miles. In this flight he broke the world’s record for a cross country aeroplane flight by 133 miles.The previous world’s record of 1,265 miles was made by H arry N. Atwood in his St. Louis to New York air journey, urhich ended on Aug. 25. Up to th is time Rodgers had flown 1,398 miles.
At the Halfway Point.A flight of eighty-four miles landed
him in Swope park. Kansas City, Mo., the following day and brought him halfway in his flight to the coast A heavy fog prevented a flight until Oct.14, when he reached Vanita, Okla,, 230 miles from Kansas City, leaving him 1,300 miles still to go to reach Los Angeles. Bad weather held him hack on Oct. 15, and on the 16th he was forced to descend at McAlester, Okla., owingto engine trouble after covering 127 j t a il o r e d s u i t op b la c k a n d w h ite miles, and he had to postpone his at- j s t r i p e d c l o t h .tempt to reach Fort Worth, Tex., on ’ Paris is mad over stripes.

Ip many of the western towns Rodgers had been greatly disturbed by having the people gathered in t h e ! landing places picked .out for Mm. 1 making it difficult for him to land. IThe lack of police protection a t Phoe- j nix and with the people scattered all |over the landing place prevented himfrom making his landing, and he was compelled to fly to another part of the town. He took on a supply of gasoline and oil and started off once mflhe, landing at Stovall. 10S miles from •Phoenix. Stovall, a tank station, i proved to be the best landing place he ‘ had encountered since leaving N ew j York. The villages in that part of I the country are about 100 miles apart, *, and as he landed in a desert alongside the railroad tracks not a person ap* peared to greet him.
Rodgers decided to make Colton on Nov. 3 and from there fly to L os,Angeles and end his transcontinental j flight, as it is on the coast. He le fti Stovall on Nov. 3, but had to make a . landing a t Imperial Junction, CaL, be-1 cause of motor trouble.
