serious nature than any which have
occurred since the flight was begun,
marked the Nice to Rome stage of the

as the victor of the long fight, left

ital, to the accompaniment of deaf
ening roar of cheers from thousands
of enthusiastic spectors who had wait
ed all night OF witness his departure.
The aviator flew away at tremendous
speed, but after covering few miles
his monoplane suddenly fell to the
ground and was wrecked. Garros, how
ever, was not hurt, and he hurried
back to Pisa to await the arrival of a
new aeroplane with which to resume
his flight
Beaumont and Frey. who left Genoa
this morning for Rome. both mistook the
race course here, which was decorated
with flags. for the aerodrome at Cascine
Di San Rossoro and landed heavily.
Their machines turned somersaults and
were badly damaged, Frey dressed a
slight wound and all three aviators are
working desperately to get their ma
chimes into shape to resume the flight.
The airmen met with a cordial reception
on arriving here,
Beaumont repaired his aeroplane and
left Pisa in the direction of Rome at five
minutes to one this afternoon.

Andre Beaumont First Of
Aviators TO Reach Rome,
Ends Second Stage Of Flight In
Paris Rome Turin Contest.
Reception al Capital Great TIL.
understanding OF Others.

Rome, May 81 Andre Beaumont.
in the face of innumerable difficulties
made one Of the greatest flights to-
day in the history of aviation. He is
once again leader in the great Paris
Rome Turin race and has now left
behind Frey the German representa-
tive and Roland Garros, who was
first to reach Genoa. They are both
al Pisa, having met with misfortune
on the second stage of the journey.
Beaumont. who made an early start
from Aiassco not far from the French
frontier, flew to Rome, making stops
at Genoa and Pisa, in less than seven
hours covering the distance at the
rate of 20 miles an hour. His recer-
ton at Rome was one of the great
est trfuinphs since the ancient days.
The hills about the city, the roofs,
the terraces, balconies and domes
We're black With people. The vast
crowds cheered wildly. Troops OF cav
airy were unable to restrain the
spectators when he made landing
The aviator was picked up bodily
and placed in an automobile beside
Mayor Nathan and the project of
Pome amid frantic cries of Viva
Beaumont "Viva France" to which
he answered viva Italiet"
Beaumont was then raised on the
shoulders of the crowd and obliged
to make speech. He said that he
was happy to be the first aerial mes
senger to Rome, because it would bind
Italy and France more closely togeth-
er and he was the more satisfied by
this because he himself was a French
naval officer. He ended by hoping that
the friendship between France and
Italy would be stronger. Relating his
experiences he said that the most dan
gerous part of his journey was at
Frejus. Then after leaving Leghorn,
to escape a storm, he was forced to
fly 200 miles over the sea.
Roland Garros, who left Pisa early
today, was compelled to return and
was still there tonight. His machine
is wrecked. Garros escaped unhurt.
Frey's aeroplane was wrecked. just
outside the San Rossore landing place.
He was injured about the face. Both
Garros and Frey hope to continue on
the flight to Rome tomorrow.
