[[newspaper clipping]]
Aviator Paul Studensky in his little Custiss type biplane made a short flight from the aviation grounds Sunday morning, remaining in the air about fifteen minutes, but coming to earth at the end of that time on account of the heavy mist which rendered aviation somewhat dangerous.  Several hundred people visited the aviation grounds during the afternoon in the hope of seeing Studensky in the air, but a troublesome carburetor on his engine prevented the French pilot from taking the air again.

Flying in a hard and gusty wind on Monday afternoon, Aviator Paul Studensky again demonstrated his excellent control over the little Curtiss type biplane, which he has but recently learned to fly, although in landing at the conclusion of a spectacular series of circles over the aviation grounds he bumped into a pile of sand and, tipping his machine, slightly damaged the planes at their outer edges.

The flight, though of short duration, was a difficult one on account of the unusually unfavorable weather conditions, the biplane requiring careful piloting to navigate the gusts and cross currents of air which were prevalent.  The damage to Studensky`s plane is to be repaired today and the aviator expects to be in the air again this afternoon or Wednesday at the latest.

Aviator J. Hector Worden also expects to be in the air this afternoon in the big Farman type biplane, which he flew for the first time Sunday afternoon.  The monster machine is now on the Denver beach awaiting favorable weather conditions and if the wind is not too high today Worden will take it up for his second trial flight.
