Brookins, not knowing of the aceci- dent, rose 2,000 t and, heading for Springfield, swirled away, leaving -the Illinois Central special train far be- hind.

The actual flying time was five hours forty-four minutes for the 187 miles— an average of about thirty-three miles an hour. Never was there a prettier race, say those who witnessed a part of it, than that between the aeroplane and the special train on the Illinois Central. As soon as he had his machine stored and guarded, Brooking, who is 22 years of age, went to Springfield to keep his luncheon appointment with the reporters. The American xecord for continued flight, previously held by Glenn H. Curtiss at ‘141 miles, had been set at 187 iiles by Brookins in a ‘Wright bdplane. Rheumatism is A Constitutional Disease.
