A BEAUTIFUL FLIGHT At H|LLSBORO

lowering until the contact with the
ground came, when the motor was
shut off and the machine brought
to a standstill within less than one
hundred feet from the place it first
touched the ground. If you saw the
flight from the outside yesterday
don't fail to see it from the inside
today or Monday. If you don't feel
that you have received your moneys
worth just say so to the man ii
charge of the box office at the Ath-
letic Park he will cheerfully re-
fund the price of your admission.
Can anything be more fair?
After the crowd had fully assem-
hled the flying machine was taken
from The improyised hangar to the
northwest corner of the park enclo
sure anc the motor started which
carsed the fan in front to MAKE
about 800 revolutions per minute,
when Aviator Kantner took his po-
sition, and before hardly anyone was
aware of the fact he was going
across the field at a tremendous
rate of speed, rising into the air
before reaching the east fence. He
remined in the air in the plain sight
of everyone in the enclosure for
about an hour when he made what
is claimed by everyone present who
haT seen other flights, the prettlest
light they had ever seen, his alight-
ing being a most thrilling one and
made in a deafening applause from
the crowd.

Yesterday afternoon .arge crowd
assembled at the new High School
Athletic Park to witness the first
flying machine ascension and de-
scension ever made in Hill County,
a number of the crowd that had
assembled, however, remained with
out the enclosure, thus missing the
most interesting part of the exhi-
btion, the starting anc alighting.
While the crowd was assembling
and awaiting the ascent of Aviator
Kantner, many expressions OF sur
prise and delight were heard con-
cerning the new Athletic Park fol
which the Young Mems Booster club
amount in erecting the fence, grand
stand and other implements there
in, as we'll as in grading tho field
for future athletic contests. 1t as
for the purpose of endeavoring to
liquidate some of this indebtedness
that the Young Mems Booster club
incurred a further obligation to the
Moisant Aviation company, the club
members believing that inasmuch as
such an educational attraction as an
aviation meet had never before been
held in Hill county, and the further
fact that the net proceeds were to
be devoted to such a worthy cause
the providing of suitable athlet-
ic field for the use of the students
of the public schools for all time
to come, as well as for others OF
the city and country VINO ENJOY

would refrain from paying the ad-
mission fee of so cents and remain
Just without the enclosure and wit
ness the flight from that vantage
ground. In this the club members
are evidently mistaken, however, il
Yesterdays outside the enclosure
number of spectators IS a criterion
of the numbers to not pay today
and Monday. However. the club
members certainly hope that there
will not be a person today or Mon
day who will witness the flight from
without the enclosure not necessar-
lily because of the money that the
club would make (although that
would be acceptable to the club in
view of the Indebtedness incurred
but because the flying in the air is
the least part of the educational
and interesting features OF the en-
tertainment being held at the park
under the auspices Of the Booste
club. The writer ventures the as
sertion that not one person who Wi
messed the flight from the enclosure,
and thereby saw the big machine
as it SKINNED across the park, grace
fully taking the air" as it neared
the fence, and then, on the return,
saw it speeding toward the earth at
a rate of over a mile per minute,
and when within the enclosure, in
stead of striking the ground with
great force as it appeared it would,
the aviator suddenly manipulated
the machine to a horizontal position
and flew through the air a few
inches above the surface, gradually |
