FARMAN A|RSH|P
FLIES NICELY

NEW YORK. Aug Henri Far
man made his first flight in America
at the Brighton Beach race track yes
terday Farman did not mean II to
be real fiight-just sort of final
examination after the tuning up pro-
cess which the aeroplane has been
undergoing for the day or two previ-
GUS
The flyer left the ground twice for
perhaps 200 yards each trip, but even
by these short flights the perfect con-
troll which Mr. Farman has over his
machine was demonstrated. II would
run along the ground for a moment,
then gradually the front wheels would
lift, next the rear wheels and the aero
plane would rise fifteen feet or so
above the field Its descent was as
easy and as graceful and accompanied
by no jar.
Mr.. Farman expressed himself pref
ty well satisfied with the result of his
trials. He has made circular kilo-
meter so he may be able TO circle the
track here, but the currents which
come through and around the corners
Of the stand and other buildings both
