1t has not yet been determined how
long the star flights may be, but they will
be sure enough fights and will not be
shorter than five minutes. The opera
tors available are McCurdy Beachy and
Robinson. so that there is no question OF
the passengers being carried as high and
as far as they can reasonably expect
though from the eagerness Of most en-
thusiasts who have tried a flying ma
chine, 1t is hardly likely that any flight
will be as long as they would really like
to take.

Company at Benning track. May ). 8 and
.. The first of these coupons and the en-
try blank for the contest were printed in
The Sunday Star yesterday. There was
an immediate response, as many IN
Washington seem anxious for the dis

President Invited to Fly.
The work in preparing for the meet at
Benning is going forward. An invitation
has been sent to the White House to
President Taft is TO take flight While
it is probable the President would like to
go. it Is not yet known whether he will
be willing to trust himself in the aero
plane owing to his official position, but If
he does not the managers OF the meet
say they will be willing to accept Capt.
Archie Butt, the Presidents aid. as
an official representative Of the Presi-
dent
The fact that the offer Of a ride can be
made in good faith to the President an
swers one question that he asked, joking
ly. some time ago. When the Aero Club
medals were presented to the Wright
brothers at the White House President
Taft made the speech of the occasion.
After saying something nice about the
inventors. he added that the thing inter
estng him most about aviation was
whether a flying machine had yet been
designed capable of carrying the Presi-
dent of the United States. This was re-
garded as rather a joke at the time, as
the weight-carrying capacity of an aero
plane had not been definitely determined.
and was generally believed to be about
80 pounds of cargo over and above the
aerOplane and operator.
