As a spectacle this flight was ideal. ~ There was a long delay durmg which the aeroplanists tinkered with their ma- chines, Then simultaneously Baldwin's big dirigible was again brought from | its tent and the Curzon-Farman biplane, largest craft of its kind on the grounds was toed to the get-away in the gather- ing dusk with Osmont at the tiller. Beachey landed near thé starting point when his motor sent out cloutis of smoke and it seemsd there wus danger that the 7000 cubic feet of gas in the silk bag just above the motor would be ignited. It looked as though the crowd was to see a race between a dirigible and an aeroplane and excitement reached its crest. The motors of the Farman ma- chine were set going. Looking over his shoulder at .he French aviator, who seemed to fly, Baldwin started his en- gine and shot into the air. This time the big dirigible behaved beautifully. There were no disturbing air ‘currents to buffet it about, and. it sailed away to the east, straight down the field. Baldwin seemed in no hurry to come down, skirting the edge of the con- course; he went far north of the outer edge of the: crowd before he headed back. Above the seats reserved for Aero Club guests he described circles and figure ¢ights, then cruised beyond Skinker road and almost to the Wash- ington University buildings. Then he hovered directly above Os- plane.. Not-.until the French aviator had scurried away on his first trial did Baldwin drop to earth in front of his tent.
