the plant destroyed by fire last Thurs

then turned south, flying over Pierce,
Mulberry Barlow, to Lake Alfred and
back to Lakeland
The plane was now 5000 feet above
terra firma, and the low temperature
was interfering somewhat with the
working of the machine. The motor
was smut off and the dangerous part
CT the trip began with the tail spin
descent, Straight as a mighty arrow
the plane descended, accumulating a
speed of over two hundred miles an
hour by the time it was within 500
feet of the ground, where it was skill
fully righted to normal flight, having
mad tail spin 500 feet longer than
that made on a previous occasion hV

Field. who has held the record for the
United States. The distance covered
in this thrilling descent was 1900 feet,
and was made in forty-fve seconds.
This adventure was in the nature
Of an experiment and wonderful sue
cess having heen achieved. Mr.. Hal
d. man will soon do the stunt officially
after securing two linked altometers
with which to make a record that can
in this manner be officially recorded.
Bouth young men in the plane en-
Jcyed the experience. From their
lofty station $500 feet above Lake
land they could view an impressive,
panorama, with Lake Apopka and a
wide expanse of gulf in the distance.
Mr.. Haldeman is a Lakeland boy
