A Real Flying Machine

! They have it and it flies. Ever
since Kit Carson's Buffalo Ranch
Wild West Shows billed that they
would exhibit a Curtis-Farnum BIZ
plane and that it would actually make
a flight propelled by a competent
aviator, nothing but doubt existed in
the minds Of the public which had
not entirely forgotten that last year
a show advertised like attraction
and only exhibited small aeropiane
model in their side show. However
Harrisburg was filled with people last
Saturday, in fact the largest crowd
that ever congregated in the county
was present to witness the street
parade, which by the way was first
class and was followed to the show
grounds by fully 10000 people, as it
had been rumored that the show re-
ally had large Aeroplane and it was
erected ready for flight. After reach
ing the grounds at 1870 promptly
as advertised the Aeroplane rose from
the ground like a majestic bird and
SCARED away i'm the heavens flying
over the city, sailing around i'm cir
cles diving down low one moment
and the next dashing high in the air
with perfect ease reminding one of
the flight of an enormous eagle.
After remaining in the air 10 min
utes the aviator directed his Biplane
toward the show grounds and landed
safely at the place of starting amid
the cheers of the multitude. The
doors to the big show were imme-
diately opened and the mighty cam
vas was crowded by an enthusiastic
crowd that filled every available
seat and enjoyed the Wild West per-
Torrance from start to finish
We can safely say that more
pleased audience never left a place
OF amusement in our city.-Harris-
burg Chronicle.
