Under the guidance of Orville Wright the contrivance arose falteringly and spent a few minutes in the air, groaning and creaking. Aviation in America had become & reality. In spite of this initial success foubtful ones who witnessed and read of the achievement still said: “Well, they'll never get any where with a contraption like that.” Today, in a hangar at Rockwell Field, near here, there stands a fneal descendant of that “contrap- lion” which only day before yester- lay stood in a hangar at Hempstead, New York, 2,625 miles away, having traversed the continent in the air under its own power end without a stop in 26 hours, 40 minutes and 48 2-5 seconds.
