THE SPECTATOR 25 Current Eventf On September Ist, Dr. Frederick Albert Cook, of Brooklyn, startled the world by cabling from Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands, that he had discovered the North Pole. Accompanied by two Esquimaux, he had reached the Pole on April 21, 1908, and had planted the United States Flag on that point. Robert Edwin Peary, of Cresson, Pennsylvania, on September 16th, announced by wireless from lndian Har- bor, Newfoundland, that he had reached the Pole on April 6th, 1909, a few days less than a year after Cook claimed to have reached it. Peary also made the statement, which he claims to be able to prove, that Dr. Cook never reached the Pole. Cambria County is proud that R. E. Peary, and J. R. Bradley, who financed Dr. Cook's expedition, were both born within her bounds. Nlr. Bradley is a native of Johns- town. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle, is proving itself to be one of the most successful expositions ever held, not only in satisfying the public, but also in be- ing a financial success. It marks the wonderfui progress, and records the achievements in the Northern Pacific re- gion, which is not much more than fifty years old. The whole undertaking is strictly characteristic of north-west- ern enterprise. The results of the aeroplane meet at Rhuins held during the week ending Sept. 4th show that the Americans are the most successful in aeroplane navigation. Mr. Glenn H. Curtis, the only American competitor, won the International Cup of Aviation by making two rounds of the course, about twelve miles, in a little less than sixteen minutes, or at a speed of 45 miles an hour. Mr. Farman, an Englishman, won for himself the Grand Prize.of the meet by remaining in the air over three hours and by covering in that time a distance of one hundred and eighteen miles. Altho we may safely say that Americans are the fore- most exponents of the heavier-than-air machines, yet to Count Zeppelin of Germany fall the laurels the achieve- ments with lighter-than-air machines. His latest feat is a
