Official presidents were shat

when President Coolidge and. his
entire Cabinet waited nearly four
hours yesterday for the fliers
In remaining, he set an example
for the crowd Of nearly 10000 peo-
pie, a majority of whom were on
hand when the fliers finally landed.
White House attaches were ur.
able to recall any event when
President was forced to wait so
long. President, Coolidge did not
appear to mind the long delay.
He and Mrs. Coolidge decided
against return to the White
House for lunch and, together with
members of the Cabinet and other
distinguished visitors, were guests
OF the officers at Boiling Field at
on army luncheon of ham sand.
wtches, potato salad, beans and tea,
served in the officers mess by the
wives Of the aviators on duty at the
field.
The filters from this point on
will look to Major General Mason
M. Patrick, chief OF air service, for
advice and directions concerning
the remainder of their flight to
the Pacific coast and will not go
ahead Of their own free will as
they have during the greater part
Of their trip around the world.

morrow afternoon and Chicago on
Friday afternoon.
Stops will be made at st. Joseph.
Mo-; Cheyenne, Salt Lake City. and
Sacramento. They expect to con-
clude their epochaI flight Septem.
Der 20 at Seattle.
Pressure is being brought to bear
to have the filters circle over Los
Angeles, due to the fact that the
flight actually started from Clover
Field, near that city, but they
probably will not fly that far south
The fliers, who are greatly re.
Hreshed after good night \ rest in
the Presidential suite at the New
Willard Hotel, today expressed re.
greet that they were unable tn circle
over the city, as they had antici-
pated, before landing yesterday
afternoon at Boiling Field.
The fact that the President and
his Cabinet had been waiting In the
mud and rain for four hours for
them and the rain then falling made
it necessary for them to land as
soon as they reached here.
Lieutenant Smith explained that
It would have been extremely dan.
gerous for them to fly at a low
altitude over the Capital in the
rain.

to the fliers, President Coolidge
said that a new record of achieve
ment has been made in the past
six months in the domain OF avia-
