lish Channel in a Flying Machine
Given a Prize of $1,000.

The frenzied enthusiasm in France

plished the feat of flying over the
English channel in his aeroplane, has

from Calais, about 4:30 a. m. Sunday,
on one of the smallest monoplanes
ever used. He crossed the channel in
little less than half an hour twice
as swiftly as the fastest mail boat.
His speed averaged more than 40
miles an hour. sometimes it approxi-
mated 90 miles. He kept about $50
feet above the sea level. and for ten
minutes, while about mid-channel, was
out of sight of both coasts and the
French torpedo destroyer which fol-
lowed him, with his wife and friends
aboard
Latham, who made an unsuccessful
attempt to cross the channel i'm his
machine last week and who was pre-
pairing for another attempt at the time

wept when he heard the news that he
had been forestalled.
