First Race. All morning fog hung over the low swell. Ships bells on scores of pleasure craft and naval vessels clanked off the half hours. Over on the Nourmahal the Astors felt sticky; so did the Morgans on the Corsair, the Manvilles on the Hi-Esmaro, the Jameses on the Aloha. You could not see to Brenton's Reef Lightship, 9 mi. northwest of the starting line; you could hardly see as far as the Committee boat. It looked like...
Then suddenly, as it often does on the New England coast, the fog began to lift under a six-mile north by east wind. The committee boat announced the course: leeward 15 mi. to the tug Thomas F. Moran, 15 mi. back into the wind to Brenton's Reef. Majestically the high-rigged contenders sailed up to the line, broke out their ballooners and the race was on. Enterprise led off, steadily increased her lead to 50 yd. An hour later Captain Heard, taking advantage of a favorable blow, sailed up bow to bow with the defender. Then Enterprise...
...Long Road. Given an inferior actor for the leading role. The Long Road might have been a well-documented, thoughtful, but overlong play. Playwright Hugh Stange (Veneer, Fog-Bound) apparently has a talent for the sort of literary clairvoyance which goes well in novels, but he lacks the ability to condense, solidify and invigorate his material for dramatic presentation. Only a superior player like Otto Kruger (The Game of Love & Death, Karl & Anna), whose Barrymorose features were used to great success in The Royal Family, could have succeeded in interpreting the nuances of Playwright Stange, breathing the breath of life...
...Flight. The unprecedented precautions taken by Coste & Bellonte brought their reward. Although heavy fog beset the Question Mark along the French coast and also off Newfoundland, weather conditions on the whole were more advantageous for flight than any time earlier in the year, or since their arrival in the U. S. By a somewhat circuitous route most of the bad spots were avoided until near Newfoundland when fog forced the flyers to climb to 3,000 ft. Their closest call Capt. Coste described in the New York Times. Hugging the coast of Nova Scotia so as not to lose sight...
...liner Egypt left London Dock for Bombay with 38 passengers, a crew of 290 and five tons of gold, 45 tons of silver in her hold, valued at over $5,000,000. The next evening, as she was passing the Island of Ushant off Finistere in a fog as thick as last week's, she was rammed amidships by the French cargo steamer Seine, went down in half an hour. Many have been the attempts to find, salvage her. The most important until last week was that of a Swedish Captain Hedbach...
