mondsport to-day to see the first trials
OF the Wanamaker transatlantic fier
America was disappointed. 1t raIned
all day and little was accomplished.
There is hardly a room to be had in
Hammondsport and three relays Of diners
were fed at the Hotel Wadsworth this
noon
About fifty women gathered In Lyman
j. Seeley's office at the Curtiss factory
this afternoon to witness the select ton
OF the young woman who is to christen
the flier with a bottle OF native wine
Miss Katherine Mason, a pretty miss u
l6. was chosen by lot. The other con-
testants for the honor were the Misses
Gladys and Emily Champlin. All three
girls are cousins. Their families founded
the champagne industry in this country
The final assembling, christening and
first trial fight will take place just as
soon as the weather will permit. The
huge planes and the rudders were carried
to the hangers from the factory this
morning. The hull and engine section is
ready TO move. The work OF assembling
will take about four hours and then the
boat will be ready for flight
The craft will not be fully loaded for
its first flight. only enough gasolene
for a few minutes trial will be carried
Lieut. J. G. Porte. who with George Hal
lett will pilot the fier across the At
lantic will make the initial trial alone
The reason why Lieut.. Porte gave an
ultimatum to the Curtiss company that

the change OF route taking In the Azores
and Nigo, Spain. the course was brought
into "A region where storms are prevalent,

August and September would be almost
impossible.
work on the Wanamaker machine have
been busy eighteen hours day seven
days a week for several months. Lieut..
Porte said to-day that he must get away
before July Is. Cyclones are often en-
countercd after that date on this course,
according to the Government pilot charts,
There are many new and untred fea-
lures of the Wanamaker machine that
