exhibition of the Aeronautical Socie-
ty at lakewood Heights, Staten Is

a greater height than any passenger

Wright biplane were responsible for
the high flight mentioned, and his
passenger was Mrs. Isabella Patter-

Mrs. Patterson's first flight.

figures announced exceed those Of
the American passenger record, 3,347
feet, made by Claude Grahame-White
at Nassau Boulevard in September of
last year in his Newport ~monoplane.
Of the other women who sought
novelty or essayed aerial honors be-
fore several thousand spectators,
there was Miss Ruth Bancroft Law,
one of the few women ~aviators, who
on this occasion for the first time
took up in her Burgess biplane an
other woman as her passenger. The
latter was Nine; Dare, a parachute
performer, who found aviation less
hazardous than her usual occupation.
Two other women drew lucky
numbers with their admission tickets.

which they promptly accepted. They
were Miss Bessie Dorsey, of No. $40

Wright machine.
