1907 June 14 Friday at Baodeek Tribune New York 28 Apr 1907 Roy Knabenshue has built an engine which weighs only four or five pounds for each horse power it develops. He thus closely rivals the remarkable steam motor devised by Langley ten or twelve years ago. Lightness is [[propelling?]] machinery is more essential to the success an aeroplane, perhaps, than to that of a ship of the gasbag type-the kind preferred the young Cleveland aeronaut-but his achievement is notable, nevertheless. [[?]] New York 28 Apr 1907 HAWLEY'S BALLOON SCARES CATTLE. - New Yorker Travels 67 Miles in 115 Minutes-Long Distance Trip Has Been Postponed. - ST. LOUIS, April 27.-Alan B. Hawley, of NewYork, made an ascension in the balloon Orient at 2.15 P.M. to-day, saying he did not expect to be up more than an hour and was going to make a trip to test the air currents. The balloon rose to a great height and then headed north. At 4.10 P.M. Mr. Hawley descended safely among a lot of scared cattle on the farm of Robert Hardcastle, seven miles east of Carrolton, Ill. The landing point is sixty-seven miles from St. Louis, so that the balloon travelled about thirty-five miles an hour. After the American and Orient had been inflated to-day the proposed trip of the America to Washington was postponed because the weather conditions were not favorable. J.C. McCoy of the Aero Club of New York City, and Capt. C. De F Chandler, U.S. Signal Corps, had intended to make the trip. McCoy says they will start as soon as weather conditions are favorable. The America is a larger balloon than the Orient and under favorable conditions is expected to sail seventy-five miles an hour. With its car and equipment the America weighs 2,200 pounds. Its gas bag is 53 feet in diameter and has a displacement of 78,000 cubic feet. Mr. Hawley and Leo Stevens expect to make an ascension at midnight to test the air conditions in this vicinity in the interest of the balloon tournament to be held here in October by the Aero Club of America.

(Special Dispatch to the Morning Telegraph.) ST. LOUIS, April 27. Of the two balloons, the America and the Orient, which were to have gone up to-day for the Lahm Balloon Cup, only the latter got away, with Alan B. Hawley and Leo Stevens, of New York, in the basket. J.C. McCoy, of the Aero Club of New York, and Captain Charles De F. Chandler, United States Signal Corps, will try to make an ascension in the America to-morrow night or Monday. Hawley and Stevens got away prosperously and landed at 4 o'clock this afternoon at Meadows, Ill., sixty miles from St. Louis and six miles east of Carrolton. They dropped in a herd of cattle, unhurt. Hawley telephoned to St. Louis that the voyage was pleasant, but that he would not be able to return to St. Louis to-night, because he was several miles from a railroad.

Worl New York 28 Apr-1907 "Seeing New York" -O PROBABLY the first thought that will occur to the average reader of this page when he looks at the accompanying photograph is this: "That can't be a real photograph There are no 'seeing New York airships' yet." As a matter of fact, though, the photograph is reproduced here exactly as it was taken. It shows four venturesome New Yorkers whirling around through space hundreds of feet above the Speedway, the Harlem River and the Ferris wheel on Fort George. A splendid view of the upper section of the city is to be obtained from the car. You can see all over Harlem and the Bronx and a considerable portion of Westchester County, Manhattan Island and New Jersey.
