Except for the one-lap speed rec

this week, and Paulhan's time record

record for distance and speed. Like
paulhan. he descended only when
the gasoline tank was empty.
Fine Work.
Nothing could exceed the beauty
and impressiveness of the prolonged
flight In grace Of lines, no other
aeroplane here compares with La
thams monoplane. The slightly tilt
ed planes from the long sktff-like
body. give it resemblance when
closed TO winged canoe. While
sailing high up in the air It looked
from a distance like a mammoth
dragon fly For an hour, with flut-
tering wings, like a living thing, It
fought it's way against the storm OF
rain and wind at an average height
of $50 feet, mounting higher as
the wind rose, until during the worst
Of the storm, it was up fully 800
feet The advocates OF the biplane
contended that the monop'ane could
not live in the storm, but they were
mistaken.
Latham, earlier in the day with
mo. 49," another aeroplaue of the
same type, made a flight of more
than 40 kilometers, and after he had
finished in the afternoon Count de

Three flights, therefore, in a single
