of his contract with the United States
Government, but accomplished the most
dificult and daring flight ever planned
for a heavier than air flying machine.
Incidentally he broke all speed records
over measured course, And he es-
tablished beyond dispute the practical
bility of an aeroplane in time Of peace
and in time Of war.
His speed was oyer forty-two miles
an hour: he made the ten mite filght

of his practically level course was

President Taft. who has become an
enthusiastic spectator of the aeroplane

at Fort Myer just in time to see the
aeroplane land and then participate IN
the wild demonstration which welcomed
the triumphant aviators. He sent an
