The large N. E. ehurcr was filled last night by citizens who desired to hear Lieut.. Clayton Bissell lecture on aviation, and tell of the purposes serv- ed by the round the world flight of the four Army planes due to arrive in Seward April 5. The Lieutenant graphically portrayed the history of aviation from the time the first heav- fer than air machine left the ground in Wright Bros field, to the present time. He described the machines to be used in the coming trip and the purposes of the flight, stating that this would be the first all-American flight ever made,-American motors, machines and aviators.
 The audience was greatly pleased with the address, much that was new to his hearers, being explained in manner that made it plain by the noted ace.
 Mrs. Schmitt and Mrs. Goodskey en- tertained the audience before the 1ec- ture with two violin and piano duets.
