LAKE TONIGHT ITS FLIGHT IS SUCCESSFUL 'CITY; OF PORTLAND" TRAVELS . THROUGH SPACE AT FAIR. Makes Record Such as No Other Flylnp Machine Has Ever Approached. ' Airships' flights are "becoming a common occurrence at the Lewis and Clark Expo sition. Captain Baldwin's airship, the City ' of Portland, making another successful r and remarkable ascension yesterday morn- The flight at the Exposition yesterday ' morning Is conceded to be the most suc cessful ever made, the absolute dlrlglblllty : of the airship being proven without a j doubt. The City of Portland was In the ! air exactly 47 minutes, during which time j It made some wonderful maneuvers. Lln ! coin Beechey. the lS-year-old aeronaut, . made the ascension in the airship. ' At 11 o'clock, the time set for the flight i of the airship, the weather conditions were favorable, although a slight, choppy breeze was blowing. Upon, being cast loose the airship rose gracefully to a height of j nearly 100O feet. The gasoline engine was ORDER OF THE DAY, AUGUST 3L 5 A. M. Gates open. 0 A. M. Exhibit buildings.

Beachy first drove his flying machine against the wind, mak ing rapid headway. He circled the Gov ernment building, and then directed the airship over tho Forestry, Agricultural and other buildings. He hovered over the Administration building for nearly ten minutes, and for a time the airship was almost stationary, so perfect was his con trol. It was over the Administration building that Beechey gave the most remarkable exhibition. By moving .forward In the framework, he caused the head of the airship to point downwards, descending to an altitude of little more than 4C0 feet. He then shifted to the rear of the frame work, causing the prow to rise. The air ship then traveled upwards to a distance of nearly 10CO feet above the earth. Sev eral thousand people assembled In the vi cinity ot the Administration building to witness the evolutions of the airship. They heartily cheered several times, to which Beechey responded by waving his hat. From over the Administration build ing, the airship traveled to the bluffs overlooking Guild's Lake, where It skirted the trees, beechey then headed for the aeronautic concourse, descending within a few feet from where he started. The engine did not stop until the crowd had grabbed the rope, which suspended from the framework. Captain Baldwin's elation over the flight of yesterday morning is overflowing. He says It Is the most wonderful flight ever made In the world, and predicts a mar velous future for aerial navigation. Cap tain Baldwin says that when automobiles were first placed on the market. It was rarely that the machines could make more than two or three trips without breaking down. He points to the four successful flights of the City of Portland as a mechanical achievement without precedent. Another flight will be made Friday morning at 11 o'clock. It is prob able that the Angelus will be given an other trial before the Exposition Is over. Press Association Coming. Next week will be publicity wecK In Portland.
