HARD TUMBLES JAR TWO STUDENT AVIATORS

Ridgely Drops 50 Feet and Gerwan [[Jerwan]] Is Hurled to Turf When Machine Upsets.

  An attempt to fly their aeroplanes [[airplanes]] in a high and gusty wind last evening at Nassau Boulevard nearly resulted disasterously [[disastrously]] for S. S. Gerwan [[Jerwan]] and A. N. Ridgley, two student aviators.  Gerwan [[Jerwan]] was trying out a monoplane of the Bleriot type, and endeavoring to get it off the ground one of the wheels caught in the turf, turning the machine completely over.  Its pilot was thrown out and landed on his face several feet away uninjured.
  Ridgley was fluttering about the high breezes at an altitude of about 50 feet when his machine dropped to the earth. Spectators who rushed to the aviator's assistance found him unconscious.  He was removed to Nassau Hospital where it was discovered that ligaments in his right leg were sprained and his choulder [[shoulder]] was severely injured.  His face and body were cut.
  Miss Harriett Quimby made some splendid flights yesterday. At Mineola she circled the field four times, and made a landing that was worthy of a veteran flyer. De Murias, another pupil of the Moisant school, went up while a thunder storm was approaching, but soon as the wind became too strong made a safe descent.

TWO LOST IN THE FOG OVER MINEOLA FIELD
  A sudden fog yesterday morning caught F. S. Jervan, [[S. S. Jerwan]] an amateur aviator, a have mile from his hangar, at Mineola, and one hundred feet in the air. Mr. Jervan [[Jerwan]] had just started to turn when the fog suddenly settled about him, and he lost all idea of direction. 
  Fearing that he might meet with some accident, the young man watched his chance and made a quick landing when he espied some open ground through the fog. Before making his landing, however, he had been flying in a circle, making three turns of the field. His instructor Mons. Haupert, could hear the motor going, but had no idea just where the aviator was. 
  After Mr. Jervan [[Jerwan]] landed he waited for the fog to lift before attempting to return. Mons. Haupert became nervous and finally started off, accompanied by the other pupils, to look for Mr. Jervan, who was finally located by shouts. 
  Mons. Haupert then got into the monoplane and attempted to drive it back to its hangar, but he in turn became confused by the fog and was compelled to rise well up for fear of running into some of the buildings.  After he flew around for five minutes the fog lifted and Mons. Haupert came down.

WINS LICENSE IN CLEVER FLIGHTS

S. S. Jerwan Makes Remarkable Landing in Qualifying Before Aero Club Officials

  Some very good aerial work was seen on the Hempstead Plains yesterday, when S. S. Jerwan, of the Moisant school, won his pilot's license after an unusually skilful [[skillful]] flight in the same all-American monoplane with which Miss Marriett Quimby and Miss Matilda Moisant qualified recently. 
  When Mr. Jerwan started out there was a strong wind coming out of the east and at times the fog was so dense that it almost obscured the monoplane, but it soon cleared.  Mr. Jerwan made his first five "eights" in fine form and then came down for his landing and stopped at the hundred foot mark. 
  Fearing that he had not completed his full "eights" in the second round, Mr. Jerwan negotiated seven and then descneded within seven feet of a designated point, getting within a small margin of making a world's record.  His altitude work was also good.  He not only filled the necessary requirements of 164 feet, but went to the 250 foot mark.  Baron L. de Orsy and Phillip W. Wilcox represented the Aero Club of America at the test. 
  Captain George N. MacKay, of Company A, Signal Corps, of the Michigan militia, is receiving instructions in aviation and hopes soon to win his license. He has been assigned to his work by Governor Osborn, who expects to see Michigan the first state in the Union to have a licensed aviator in the ranks of the militia. When Captain MacKay obtains his license the State will make requisition for a two seated monoplane, which will be equipped with wireless.
