FLYING MACHINE NOT SUCCESSFUL
The outcome Of the contracted aero
plane flights is matter OF history.
That operator and spectators es-
capped death or serious injury is mat
ter for congr atulation. However there
is deep regret on part of fair officers
as well as every citizen in attendance
that the attempts at soaring were not
success. Ii was apparently the fault
of no person. The operator, in an in-
terview with the editor of the CENSOR,
said that the machine brought here
was a new one, that he had given it
three test flights on the day before
shipping here, and they were success
/ full, but he cautioned the owners that
the propelling machinery was not
sufficiently powerful to warrant GER
tain fight, and we were the victims
OF the fist misfortune 70 overtake the
machine. The operators made two un-
successful attempts to get the machine
into the air. Ii seemed certain that
the second trial was going to be sue
cessful. but when about twenty-five
feet high a sudden drop brought the
bird and operator close to the ground,
/ the hind wings catching upon car
riage top, turning turtle with crash
among a congested body of horses and
vehicles. The operator, Vanie Ludwig,
escaped With slight scratches on one of
his arrIs. An earnest attempt Wes
made TO have repairs sent out-f7om
Chicago so that fights might be made
on Friday, but TO no avail, and the
people were again disappointed, yet
they had the satisfaction of seeing tie
machine and partial flight. Certain
~ the fair officers did everything In

Had the machine arrived here and
given good exhibisionon Wednesday, as
contracted for, it would have swelled
attendance for the succeeding days and
made some money for the society.
Reason assigned for delay in this re-
! spect is that the operator who was to
\ fiy here was killed IN Iowa two days
previous Manager Arthur Anderson,
the operator and FIVE helpers appear
ed DESTROYS Of giving our people a
creditable exhibition. but they played
in hard luck.
