dropped a letter to Mayor Bloom
from Ben Feinberg when she passed
over the business section. Il wish
every person il Pine Bluff could
have seen this city as | saw it yes
terday afternoon" said Miss Stinson
last night. Il did not know that it
was so beautiful. The birds eye
view | got was most attractive. /
have never sailed over any city with
cleaner streets. nor prettier shade
trees"
Miss Stinson was in the air on her
second flight 13 IL minutes. She
went $500 feet and made "a 5SeaGttff~
full circle around the city, coming
directly over it to the east. In MAX
ing her second landing Miss Stinson
narrowly escaped injuring a number
of spectators, who had gathered with
more than two thousand others on
the sandbar opposite the city to wit
ness the flight. She was floating
down to her landing place and when
she neared the earth she found many
people under her. She did not shut
off her engine, as is customary in
making a landing, but climbed back
into the air and awaited her chance
to land In the meantime the crowd
had scattered and the landing place
Was clear. She declared last night
that she would never make another
flight in this city unless she had
ample police protection on the avia-
ton field.
Her third flight was brief, the
aieatrice remaining in the air only 8
1-2 minutes. She merely floated
down the river and back again.
II saw the thousands waving at me
as | moved over the city, said Miss
Stinson last night, "but | could not
hear the music OF the bands nor the
shouts of the people. All l could
hear was the chugging of my engine"
Miss Stinsons mother, Mrs. E. L..
Stinson; her sister, Miss Madge Stin-
son, and brother, Jack Stinson, of
Hot Springs, came here yesterday to
witness the flights. 1t was the first
time that her family had seen her
exhibition.
