successfully negotiated the Simplon
pass at an altitude of 1000 feet in
his monoplane and at 2 o'clock was

accomplished the hardest task ever
yet set for birdmen-a flight over
the Alps-and will have captured
the $4,000 prize offered the first
aviator to successfully make the
flight, between the dates of Sep
tember 20 and October |.

dent to his machine can prevent
his trip being successful, since
