Charles A, Lindbergh, American aviator, landed here safely pee completing his non-stop flight from New York to ‘a .. _ His plane, the “Spirit of St. Louis,” came down on the field at 10:21 p. m. Paris time, arriving about two and a half hours ahead of his schedule. Lindbergh came éver Lebourget flying high, slightly to the east of the field. He circled twice slowly, then settled dewn two hundred yards west of the main building. Makes Beautiful Landing He made a beautiful landing, headed due west with the round light flashed on him. The crowd of 25,000 gave a great’ roar and rushed forward. Dozens of persons were | swept off their feet in the wild excitement to reach the won- dertul American. The crowds surged around Lindbergh’s plane before he aviator reached the ground, the American Ambassador, My- ron T. Herrick, arrived, witnessing his descent from the ad- ministration building. The plane was hauled in front of the building. The daring youth was lifted out and carried shoulder-high into the open, where he was enthusiastically acclaimed and cheered for 20 minutes. The sky ‘at 8:45 p. m., was almost clear, after a late aft- ernoon rain, and the American was assured of a fine safe landing. The wind had fallen considerably during the eve- ning. The French flyer, Charles Frard, went up about 8:30 o'clock and executed all sorts of aerial flip-flops to amuse the crowd gathered on the field. Flares Show Way to Field There were at least 5,000 persons on the field and near- by grounds at 10 o'clock. Most of the spectators arrived on foot or on bicycles, showing the intense interest that the men in the street had in the American’s exploit. At the same time the aerial authorities began sending up flares in order to show Captain Lindbergh, as soon as he came within sight, the location of the landing field. Excitement was at fever height when it was reported that the “Spirit of St. Louis” had flown over Cherbourg. 1 | | ‘ight time he spanned the ocean, land and England, lish Channel, and was above the coast of F , in the country of his dreams at last. At that hour he passed above Cherbourg and had but 200 miles to xo before he swooped out of the sky to the flood light of Lebourget fiying field and the acclamation of a wait- ing world.

REPORTS FLIGHT PROGRESS IN FINE SHAPE In connection with the greatest airplane flight in history the Tribune takes pleasure in call- ing to the attention of its read- ers that the story of the flight as written by the Ass ted Press also constitutes one of the st pieces of reporting in h tory. From the start of the flight until Captain Lindbergh landed at Paris the world was advjsed of his progress in speedy ‘di patches from all points along the route. News that he had landed in Paris was received here with- in a few minutes after the wheels of his plane touched the ground.
