WHITEHEAD‘S LONG FLIGHT

Prepareto Go From Bridgeport to
New York in Airship

Gustave Whitehead, the flying ma-

chine inventorof Bridgeport, Conn.,

who is said to have flown a distance                                                  of half a mile in his machine recently at

a height of 50 feet says that his next

flight will consist of a trip to New

York City and return. For this purpose

says a dispatch to the New York Sun,

he is having a new machine built on his

premises. The only difference in the

two, he says, is that the new one will

be built stronger and large enough to

carry a dozen persons.



Whitehead says that the principle

upon which M. Santos-Dumont, the

French aeronaut, is working is not

practical and that his own experience

has shown it. He says further that he

xx xxxxxxxxx that his machine is  xx-

xxxxx and that he now presents one of



the experimental stage. He say that

M. Santos-Dumont and other inventors

will learn sooner or later that their in-

ventions are xxxxxxx.
