AVIATOR C. F. WILLARD'S
LONG SLIDE TO EARTH
Was $50 Feet in the Air When
Motor Failed
A NOVICE BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
Charles f. Willard, A Beginner,
After Making A Record Cross
Country Flight In An Aeroplanc,
Makes The Record Descent In A
Machine Without Power - Prac-
dcally His First Flight And Had
But One Lesson.

New York Especially Charles f
Willard made the only cross-countr,
flight In an aeroplane in this country
from Mineola, l.. l., with the exception
of the one Orville Wright made a.
IL ort Myer in completing his govern
ment contract. The remarkable feat
ures of this feat of Willard is thai
while he received his first instruc
tions little more than two weeks
| ago from Glenn II. Curtiss, the in.
ventor of the Golden Filler, Willard
exceeded the distance record of Or
VILE Wright by about two miles
willard covered about IL miles in
l9 III minutes and attained an alti-
tude of more than $50 feet.
The aeroplane was brought from
the shed at 5.23 and taken into the
Hampstead Plains back of the race
course, the starting point. The avia-
tor at once shot to a height of al
most 100 feet as he started in the di-
rection of Garden City. Then he
wheeled and flew over the Meadow
brook Hunt Club and thence to
Westbury and Hicksville. A large
circle was negotiated here and Will
lard started homeward and flew sue
cessfully until, within two miles of
the starting point, he discovered some
trouble with his motor. Willard was
almost $50 feet in the air when the
motor failed. From this height the
aviator made a perfect glide to the
ground, the greatest distance from
which a descent has heretofore been
made without power.
An examination disclosed that the
cam shaft, which operates the mag
neto, had broken; that it would be
impossible to resume the flight. Will
lard had intended to continue his
course over Hampstead, Floral Park
and Hyde Park. The machine was
placed on a big wagon and taken
back to its tent. 1t is believed that
the repairs can be made within the
next two or three days and then Will
lard will try a longer fight.
In making his flights Willard cross
ed eight roads, several clumps of
trees and five lines of telegraph
wires, and crossed three times the
motor parkway. At times he ascend
ed to such a height as to look like
a mere speck in the air, and again
he would drop to 40 feet. He man
aged his machine with great skill
and negotiated sharp turns with ap-
parent ease.
l.. S. Burridge, president of the
Areonautic Society, to whom this
machine has ben sold, was delighted
with this performance of Willard,
and said:
Il think we have been most for
tunate in securing Mr.. Willard as
aviator, for he has more than come
up to expectations. He has both
courage and good judgment I am
confident that he is going to make
some splendid records for this coun-
try with the machine. What he has
accomplished in so brief time
seems little short of marvellous, and
am sure it will do much to stimulate
ieronautics as pasttime. Now that
I has been demonstrated that ma
chine can be learned without any
great risk, many will be encouraged |
% adopt aeroplaning as a sport"
