TO PHILADELPHIA

The last that was seen OF tho three
airplanes which have thrilled Whining.
tonians for the past few days was three
black specks on the northeast horizon
about o'clock yesterday afternoon and
few minutes after three they had
disappeared toward Philadelphia.
The first plane to leave the ground at
Sedgely farm took of at PAS O'Clock,
and within ten minutes IN other planes
were also in the air. Higher and high
er they scared. their motors dronlng
sOnorously, the bright sun glancing
sharply from the whlrllng propeller
blades. When all three machines had
attained an altitude Of 1900 feet, they
ceased clrcling and started for Phla-
delphia.
The plans were invisible 10 all but q
few in this city as they passed over
Porter Reservoir and Holly Oak. then
up the river. Several persons lon VIII
son Line boats saw them during the
brief flight.
The first plane TO land at Belmont
Plateau, Falrmount Park, was that IN
der the guidance OF Guy StolenwOrtn,
an excavation officer, who Is very IA
mlliar with that landing The other two
landed shortly after, pllotd by Lieuten-
ants Robert e. Self, and James p.
Hodges. Llutenant Charles NJ. Potter
rode in the plane with Mr.. Stolen
worth. The fliers arrived in Philade-
phia shortly before 315 o'clock.
The blrdmen must have made them
selves immensely popular with the fair
sex, during their short stay here. iudg-
