Frederick Wilhelm achieved one of
the ambitions of his life today when
he made an aeroplane ascent with

at Borstedt Field and the Princes in

to avoid a crowd The fight lasted
but a few minutes.
Immediately after taking the Crown
Prince ON his flight, Orville Wright
smashed every record ever made for
high flying mounting until his i'm
mense aeroplane was mere speck in

after much begging and persuasion
that Wright was induced to take the

the Crown Prince presented Wright
with a gold watch set in diamonds
