BEAUTIFUL PICTURES OF OVERSEAS FLIGHT
Navy Department Secures Re-
 markable Paintings

New York, Aug. 13-One of the unique and interesting features of the naNy's transatlantic flight is the com pilat1on for the historical archieves of the navy department of a complete pictorial record of the flight, includ- Ing drawings, sketches, photographs. mOuOn pictures and oil paintings. This record will show the cOnstruc- ton and trace the development of the NC type Of planes in which the flight was made besides depicting ac- tual scenes of the preparations for the flight and it's progress across the ocean.
 Navy photographers photographed every interesting phase of the prcpar- ations and the trial flights at Rocka- way Beach. Later when the course had been selected, other photograp ph- CTS were sent to Halifax, N. S.: Trep- assN, N. F.; Ponta Delga da, Azores; Lisbon, Portugal, and Plym outh, Eng land, where landing stations and bases had been established. Several thou sand feet of motion picture film and several hundred photographs were taken at these stations and from these a careful selection will be made for the departments permanent pie toria record.
 The task of making a pictorial rec ord on canvas was entrusted to Lieu tenant c. E. Ruttan, L. $. N. R., of New York, who was designated by the navy department as the official artist for the flight. He was temporarily assigned to the T.. $. s. Melville, which acted as a supply and repair ship for the scaplancs at Ponta Delgada. Lieu tenant Ruttan who is a qualified pilot, brought to the work a long and valu- able experience obtained in painting naval aviation pictures on the Vest crn front.
 During the three weeks the Melville was stationed at Ponta Delgada Lieu- tenant Kuttan made nearly a dozen sketches in oil, illustrating the most interesting and exciting scenes of the flight. One sketch shows the arrival of the NC-4 at Ponta Delgada with cheering crowds Nning the beach and all ships in the harbor outlined in bunting and flags. Another shows the arrival of the damaged seaplane NC- g. which motored into port under'hcr own power after being adrift for 53 hours.
 Two of the pictures illustrate planes passing a destroyer station ship. The first, a day N1cW, shows the plane fly ing above storm clouds and the de- stroyer tossing about in a rough sea. The other, a night view, shows the plane silhOuetted against the moon and the destroyer agloW with lights and her searchlight piercing the dark ness. Another sketch represents the crew of the NC-1 being rescued by the Greek steamer Ionia. Others picture exciting incidents during the periods that the NC-1 and NC-3 were adrift in the rough seas.
 The artist contemplates painting a panoramic view of Ponta Delgada harbor at the time of the NC-4's ar rival for a frieze in the building or section of the navy department to be devoted to aerOnautics. It is probable that the pictures will be placed on eX- hibitio o1 within a short time and later assigned a permanent place in the navy building in Washington.

 While on Visit.

St. Johns, N. F., Aug. 13.--The e shores of Quidivive Lake, two miles from this city, where. a few weeks ago, crowds gathered to watch the start of the first successful nonstop trans-Atlantici a rplane flight, we1 e again thronged with enthusiastic NeWfoundlanders today when the Prince of Wales, on his official visit to this colony, went to the lake for the annual regatta.
 After a program of events which kept him up until long after mid night yesterday, the prince slept at Government House in the room occu- pied in 1860 by his grandfather, the late King Edward, when, as Prince of Wales, he visited Newfoundland. Early this morning the prince went aboard the British cruiser Dragon for breakfast and at 10 o'clock made his second official landing in this city. A crowd greeted him, repeating the en- thusiastic welcome of yesterday, and along the route to the lake he re- ceiyed an ovation.
 In witnessing the regatta, a feature of summer life for nearly 70 years the, prince was once again following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who was the guest of honor at a sim- liar event 60 years ago.
 The racing program occupied tho entire day, but the prince was re- stricted to a tWo-hour visit. After three races were roWed the~sroyal party drove back and embarked for St. Johns, N. B. The ship sailed at noon.
