Feet Into the Air.

"oh. I am simply fascinated with it,
In these words. Miss Gladys Hinck-
ley expressed her views Of an airship
flight, as she alighted from Rex Smith 8
biplane in Potomac Park yesterday
afternoon.
Miss Hinckley is the first woman to
make a trip in an aeroplane in the Ma
tional Capital and over this fact she
was enthusiastic.
II do so want to go again, to go high
and long way" she said. II was not
the least bit afraid or nervous and I
never felt any fear that I might tumble
out. Mother imagined that I would fall
or that the machine would break or
something like that. AS we went whiz-
zing along felt as If I could keep on
going
"Aeroplane flying is glorious. I hardly

like a bird dips"
Miss Hinckley is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Hinckley and is So
ciety belle Of Washington. She arrived at
the grandstand of the polo field at Po-
noon.
Anxious to Be First.
She came in an electric runabout and
was accompanied by q friend. Miss
Hinckley was wearing a tigerskin coat
and had absolute faith in the Rex Smith
biplane. In common with a number Of
other prominent young Washington So
ciety women, she had from the very first
account Of the machines success been
eager to have the honor of being the
first woman to "go up" in it,
Almost as soon as she arrived at the
stand she asked anxiously whether any
other girl had been taken for a flight.
Being assured that neither Miss Merriam,
who had been scheduled to accompany
the aviator, nor Mrs. Longworth, who

What It Felt Like.

The next passenger was Miss Louise
Widdicombe. She also utilized Mr.. La
Mats necktie, and away the machine
went When Miss Widdicombe was asked
how she felt during the fight she replied,
with a laugh, that it was like q compro-
mise between an automobile and fast
elevator.
Victor Emerson, son Of the maker Of the
motor that drives the machine. was taken
for fight, and then DR.. Charles D. Wal

moment, and there is q rumor that the

added. with q serious smile, II wish DR..
Langley had been here to take the fight
himself" DR.. Langley was the previous
secretary Of the Smithsonian. and 1t was
due more to his pioneer work than to
anything else that the fight Of heavier

Many. Passengers Taken Up.

All Of the flights Of the afternoon were
passenger L. ". Joslyn. news
paper man, and w. X. Bachrach both
were taken up. Antony Janus was the
aviator and gave each one double turn
the length of the polo field. Then Miss
Gladys Hinckley carried out her previous
ly expressed determination to make q
fight. She is one Of the younger set of
society girls, a friend Of Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, and has been threatening for
some time to take an aeroplane ride She
was on the field in q leopard skin auto
mobile coat when the first of the flights
was made. and when 1t came her turn she
dropped the coat and climbed into the
machine.
Afetrward she said she wished she had
kept the coat Raoul La Mat was there
and, Raleighlike, he dedicated his necktie
to her use, for he whipped on the long
silk tie and bound her skirts securely
around her feet after she was settled in
the machine.
There was q fair wind blowing up the
field, but Janus managed to rise with
the wind on his back and made q low
flight up the field with his passenger.
Coming back in the face Of the wind,
there was no trouble in rising and the
machine scared fifty feet before alighting
at the band stand.

Sensation u Disappointing.

When asked by Rex Smith II he cared
to try tthe machine, DR.. Arhenius smiled
dihidently and said he would SO he was
tucked into the passengers seat and the
machine was sent away with one Of the
most valuable cargoes q flying machine
ever has carried. The flight was only
about fifty feet high. as were most OF
the others, and THE doctor said efterward
that he enjoyed 1t. but that there was
really less sensation than he had ex-
pected.
The last night Of the afternoon was
made with the heaviest single passenger
the machine ever has carried. He was
H. J. Jenkins Of the Emerson Engine
Company weighing $50 pounds. The ma
chine apparently did not tilt at all as the
result OF having 80 much weight on one
SIDE
This ended the flights for the day and
the machine was taken back to the han
gar.

Rex Smith Biplane Makes Good
Showing, Although the Wind
Blows Hard.

What the Rex Smith biplane did yes
terday afternoon was not circumstance
to what it did it with. The machine in
the course of the afternoon carried what
probably was in the aggregate the most
distinguished cargo that any flying ma
chine ever carried. There were two pretty
girls, two of the most distinguished
scientists in the world, one the secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution and
the other q member Of the Nobel Insti-
tute of Sweden, one man who weighed
$50 pounds and several common, ordinary
passengers.
The conditions over the polo field In
Potomac Park were worse in the after
noon than in the morning, as is usually
the case. During the early morning the
machine had made q number OF good
flights, one of them to a height OF 3OO
feet, and had circled in the air over the
Tidal basin. In the afternoon the wind
was gusty and there was soft spot
in the middle Of the polo field.
It was a curious feature. showing just
how pilots into the new realm OF the air
are walking in the dark and finding out
things by experience There was row
of trees along the river side OF the HELD.
and in one place there was q tree miss
ing. making q small break like an open
door in a room. Through this break the
wind poured in an invisible current that
carried the aeroplane up when 1t first
entered it. but the current then forked
and invariably. as the machine passed
the break in the trees. 1t first went up
and then was set gently down on the
grass.
