the two cities was l hour 81 minutes.
In competition with the diminutive
Curtiss flyer were Eugene Ely and
Hugh Robinson, also members of the
Curtiss flock. All>three aviators took
wing from Governors Island within one
minute of each other. Although Beach
ey had the advantage of the first start
and led Ely by half minute, the lanky
flyer who achieved the honor of being
the first to fly on and off a battle ship,

York and Railway, and beat him into
New Brunswick by ten minutes.
Gasoline Tank Leaks.
At New Brunswick, however, the gas
oline tank of Ely's craft sprung a leak
and he was obliged to alight on the
farm of r. W. Johnson, three miles
west of the town. While he was fever

Beachey came sailing past and flew
steadily toward Trenton. where he
made the prearranged landing.

from the Oriental point of view.

now looks after the foreign relations of

introduced to Secretary Knox by Ambas-

even to the point of abruptness.

EDITORIAL OPINION

It has issued books containing 20
tickets, which it will sci for s1.OO, and
books containing 100 tickets, which
will be sold for $500.
This. we say, is very beautiful
concession for after a man buys a
dollar book, or a five dollar book, he
can eide on the cars for nothing as
long as the book lasts, by simply
giving the conductor a ticket from
the book. And he will find great sat
isfaction for being able to ride as a
dead head most Of the time, even
though he has to pay big price for
one day.
The policy Of the company is to get
FIVE cents from each passenger. who
rides in the company's cars without
regard 10 the ride, whether it is for
five blocks. as many Of them have
been. or whether it is ride of twenty
blocks.
OF course anybody can see the in.
justice Of this, except the men who
are managing the trolley company,
for it is an unreasonable exaction,
and there are many short riders, who
will not submit to It. They will walk
when they can, and ride when they
can't walk

There is no danger that cranks will be kept out Of

should be deprived of this privilege.
The Norway is a good tree, but there
