BEATS FORMER RECORDS
Janus Remains AIoft 19 IL
Minutes in One Flight at
Potomac Park.

Not deferred by the involuntary bath
in the Potomac river he took, In con-
nection with his hydroplane experience
Saturday, Aviator Antony Janus was
out early with the Rex Smith biplane
this morning and made the longest
flights he has yet made since the ma
chine has been evoluting over Potomac
Park.
The aeroplane was none the worse
for the wetting it received in the Po-
tomac Saturday. In a couple of hours
after rescue the engine was cleaned
and ready to run again. In fact, 1t
seemed to behave rather better as the
result of it's bath.
Evidently After Record.
The biplane was taken out Of the
tent at the foot of 18th street soon
after o'clock this morning. and a
flight was made from the hangar to
the polo field. Janus then went up,
evidently intending to make record.
He was in the air fourteen minutes.

Egg Rolling at Washington Park.

Alexandria's younger population are out
in full force this afternoon at the George
Washington Park, west of this city, en-
joying Easter egg rolling. Hundreds of
the little ones, many of whom are accom-
panied by their elders, are out with their
little baskets containing eggs dyed in
hues Of every color Of the rainbow, en-
jOying themselves in racing and romping
ana incidentally partaking of dainty
luncheons. Hundreds also went to Wash
ington and enjoyed the sport in the
White House grounds.
The Easter parade yesterday fell short
Of the usual parades Of former years on
Easter Sunday. This was attributable to
the biting northwest wind. The majority
of those who were on the streets were
CARRIED in the usual winter garments, al
though SEINE were in their Easter frocks.
Services at the churches were we'll at
tended. Bishop Gibson was in this city
and confirmed large classes at the three
Episcopal churches yesterday morning,
afternoon and evening.

Summons Tuesday Morning

Those of our citizens who have known
Nathaniel "Dad" Lapham for years
were much surprised on Tuesday last to
learn that he had passed to his last
rest at Butterworth Hospital at an
early hour that morning. For some
weeks past he had been feeling poorly
and after an examination by skilled ply
sicians il was found that he had tumors
in his stomach and an operation was
thought 10 be the only way TO save
his life. He went To the hospital about
two weeks ago and the operation re-
vealed "A worse state Of disease then had
been anticipated and it was realized
that his death was only a question oi
"a few weeks AT best.
Mr.. Lapham has been resident OF
this city for the past nineteen years,
was seventy-two years of age and leaves
besides his wife whom he married in
this city sixteen years ago, two SONS,
Frank Of Middleton, New York and
George of ST. Johns, and two daughte RS,
Mrs. Mary Williams of 81. Johns and
little Margaret of this city.
strong and vigorous all his life, Mr..
Lapham found much JOY and happi-
ness iii hunting, fishing and trapping
and every year the call of the wild
lured him from the scenes of home life

good man, he will be greatly missed by
those who now mourn his departure.
The remains were taken TO his former
home al 81. Johns for burial.
