made perfect ascent and landing,
winning the admiration OF every one
who watched him at the controls.
After landing he went to his own
bus to make a careful inspection
and give some suggestions to the
mechanics getting it in shape for to-

arrived from New York, and he
seemed absolutely like a boy at play
happy both over the pleasure Of
flying and at getting a little respite
from formalities and attention by
crowds.
