AvIATORS PASS QUIET DAY.
No Flights Made at College Park
Yesterday.

Yesterday was a quiet day for the
"man-birds'' at College Park, through the
baking of the engine on the Burgess bi-
plane. the absence OF some of the more
skilled aviators, and the unsettled state
of the weather. THIS combination disap-
pointed the few enthusiasts who visited
the grounds, only to see the machines be-
ing cleaned up preparatory to future
flights of interest that are promised.
A two-machine, four-man flight across
country, and sustained flights to Annap-
oils, Fort Washington. and other Maryland
points are promised for this week. and
there will be visits to Frederick during
the maneuvers of the District National
Guard at Camp Ordway.
1t Is possible that there may be flights
by the Wright machine this afternoon,
but the new Burgess Wright may require
a new engine to enable her to meet the
high expectations of her makers.
