Mr Henry Ki.ru,an, the aeroplaniat, goes from triumph to triumph. Having; covered a mile and a-half in continuous circular :iight, he summoned the committee of the French Aero Club to witness further attempts at the Issy drill-ground. Two flags were placed about: 550 yards apart, and Mr Farinan . '.set out to circle round both five 4 ituc:;. After a quick run along the o,round the machine rose into the air, and, travelling at a height of fifteen swerved round the flags five time;; without difficulty. Owing to the brea.Uh of the circles described, the tual distance covered was 4& kilometres, or about 25 miles. By Ihia Hight Mr Farman won the new Michelin prize of £6OO and a cup value:! at £4OO. The latter becomes his sole property if no other aeroplanist excels his performance before the end oi the year.
