FARMAN IN THREE FLIGHTS.


Flies 500 Yards Straight Ahead in
AeropIane at Brighton Beach.
Henri Farman made three successful
flights in his aeroplane at the Brighton
Beach race course, New York. Each flight
was straight ahead, but soon Mr.. Fax-
man hopes to display the machines ca
pacity TO turn around. On his first fight
he covered about two-thirds of the dis
lance at height of never more than six
feet. The second flight was a little long
er, and on the third he traversed the en-
tire distance, about 800 yards. The wealth
er was ideal for the exhibition, and the
aeroplane SKINNED along like swallow.
The spectators, who included several 10
cal aeronauts, were most enthusiastic. A
novel preliminary to the flights was the
dosing of about twenty-five toy balloons,
so that Farman might judge of the wind
currents.
