 Speck Grows Larger. 



Soon after 4:30 the watchers on the 

 hill became aware that one of the sail- 

 ing specks over the distant aviation 

 Held was growing larger to their vision. 

 "He's cumins'! He's coming!" was the 

 crv. nd cottages in the vicinity poured 

 forth their occupants. The surrounding 

 fields seemed alive with men, women 

 and children running to secure a good 

 viewpoint. 



Larger and larger grew the oncoming 

 flyer. Sea gulls in the field of vision no 

 longer deceived the watchers. It was 

 the flying machine, surely. 



On came the object, taking shape as 

 It approached. The planes looked like 

 Immovable wings, and the swiftly re- 

 volving propeller made only a blur In 

 front of the machine. The figure of the 

 aviator was hardly distinguishable. 



On his first trip to the light the 

 aviator kept over ihe water as he ap- 

 proached more than he did on his sec- 

 ond lap. He approached the white shaft 

 from almost directly over the Hotel 

 Pemberton. 



As the monoplane rounded the light- 

 house It did not cant in the slightest 

 degree so far as the spectators could 

 perceive It seemed also to maintain 

 the same altitude, except when it dipped 

 just the slightest as it started back to 

 the fieldl All the way back the specta- 

 tors watched, fascinated, as the ma- 

 chine grew smaller and smaller, until 

 It was at last reduced to the merest 

 speck against the sky, finally disap- 

 pearing. 



Second Trip Seen Better. 

 In a very short time the sp'eck re- 

 appeared, growing larger and larger, 

 and the waiting crowd was treated to 

 a repetition of the first thrilling exhibi- 

 tion. The second lap was even more 

 attractive than the first, for the chang- 

 ing light had thrown up white clouds, 

 against which the monoplane was sil- 

 houetted with great clearness. The 

 second trip was made over a course 

 that lav more to the eastward, and the 

 machine passed directly over Fort Re- 

 vere. 



The aviator rounded the light the 

 second time at 5:05:50 P. M. He swung 

 more to the westward on his return to 

 the field, passing over Fort Standish, 

 Fort Warden and Gallup's island, with 

 more tooting of whistles. 



After the monoplane had faded from 

 view the crowd lingered, hoping for 

 more flying. Some stayed until dark- 

 ness. 



No Taxi Rates for White. 



Grahame-WWte takes exceptions to 

 the published statement that he charges 

 $500 for an Interview. He declared yes- 

 terday he had never charged a penny 

 for an interview. As to the report that 

 he charged $500 to carry a passenger, he 

 said he was not doing business at taxi- 

 cab rates. Sydney McDonald said that 

 in England Grahame-White on one or 

 two occasions had received more than 

 $500 for making a flight with a passen- 

 ger.
