After landing at the pons field in East Bristol. he called Judge Malone, who thereupon accepted an invitation to fly over the city. The judge was given control of the air ship and showed his ability as a pilot in series of splendidly executed Im- melman turns and other stunts, that demonstrated to the visiting officer that the local official was a real bird man. After an hours flying. Major Harrison went on 10 Hartford.
