The Aviator at St. Johnsbury.

Wonderful as has been the career of
many of the worlds noted bird men,
none has had moro meteoric rise to
| fame as an aviator than has James
J. Ward, of Chicago, who is a MEM
Der of the famous Curtiss flying
squad. Abandoning the automobile,
with which he had won a name for
himself in the west as a daredevil
racing driver, he took up flying be-
cause the aeroplane fascinated him.
That he has spent more time in the
air in the past four months than many
flyers have spent in a whole year is
due to the fact that he has retained
his enthusiasm.
Since he qualified as an aviator and
received his Curtiss machine, Ward
has never lost an opportunity to take
to the air. He has flown when not
required of him, because Of his love
for flying. In New Orleans where he
entered the meet in December as an
unknown, he had his aeroplane as
sembled the day before the meet
opened and was in the air before the
other aviators had their machines out
of the boxes. His flights that day,
just for fun, made him easily one of
the favorites of the meet, during
which he made a new reputation daily
as an expert and daring flyer.
Is From New Orleans, Ward started on
tour of the south, winning new
laurels with every engagement. Still
his fame was hardly more than local,
because flying has become common
place to such an extent that it is only
the extraordinary accomplishments
that are put on the news wires.
America suddenly awoke to the fact
that new star had appeared on this
side of the Atlantic, when on January
newspapers from sea to sea pub
lished stories of his flight in his four
cylinder Curtiss biplane down the
Charles River, out over historic forts
Sumter and Moultrie and on out TO
sea for three miles at an altitude Of
200 feet.
The flight was made for the pur-
poses of demonstrating the utility of
the aeroplane for scouting purposes,
and the altitude reached, the high
est for any machine of equal horse
power, was sufficient to insure safety
for machine and aviator from the fire
of large or small guns. On his return
flight, Ward alighted on the beach in
front of Fort Moultrie by appointment
with the commandant, to whom he
delivered a message before he pro-
ceeded on his way back up the river
over the villages to the aviation field
where the Charleston aviation meet
was in progress. His flight was one
of which any veteran might feel
proud.
Later the young aviator participated
in the meet held on the military field
at Havana, Cuba, being one Of the
first men to fly an aeroplane over
Cuban soil. His popularity was so
great that he was flooded with offers
which could not we'll be refused, and
he remained on the island more than
two months, flying in over a score of
cities and towns and never missing a
day of wind.
He then returned to the states, fly
ing at st. Augustine, Fla, and is now
on tour which will take him to most
OF the larger cities in the United
States before he ends his first year
as an aviator.
He has recently been flying at
Chicago, where he did wonderful
stunts before an audience Of $4,000
people.
