tbs has been making at Hampstead
Plains. Long Island, with increasing
SUCCESS came today when he sent his
fiyer 24.7 miles in lfty-two minutes,
thirty seconds, and qualified as the
first candidate for the cup offered by
The Scientific American.
This flight Is not only Curtiss's best,
but is the longest made With an aero
plane in America this year.
The cup for which the aviator tried
today was offered for the longest flight
of this kind during the current year,
the only condition being that the win
ner must cover at least twenty-five
kilometers ever q measured course be-
fore judges Of the Aero Club of Amer
lea, and land within 100 meters of the
starting point. Curtiss came to earth
today barely within the required dis
lance, but the judges decided that he
had complied with all the terms of the
competition. He will win The Scientific
American cup which he also captured
last year at Hammonds Port. N. T..
unless his flight Is excelled before tbs
end of the year.
The flight, although made at an early
morning hour, was Witnessed by a
crowd of nearly 2,e00 persons. Curtiss
rose early and circled the course at
various attitudes, showing he had his
machine will in hand. At times his
speed increased to forty-five miles an
hour. but the average for the whole
distance was twenty eight and one
quarter miles an hour. At no time did
he rise above so feet and most of the
time he sped along within fifteen or
twenty feet from the ground.
The beginning of the twentieth
round he encountered a strong head
wind, and. fearing that his gasoline
would fail. before he could complete
another round. he shut OF his motor
and descended. After alighting he
found that he still had two quarts left,
enough to have carried him several
miles further.
