HURON, SOUTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1912

Tournier and Studensky Each Make Two Successful Flights--Aviator W. C. Robinson Third Man Contracted by State Fair Management Injured at Minneapolis and Unable to Come--Stock

Flights [[underlined in red]]Tuesday.[[/underlined in red]]

Both Tournier and Studensky made two excellent flights yesterday at 11 o'clock and two o'clock. In the morning flight, both aviators were in the air fully [[underlined in red]] twenty minutes,[[/underlined in red]] circling the grounds and city a number of times and maintaining an average altitude of about 2,000 feet. A noticeable fact in the flying of both Tournier and Studensky, is the absence of the thrilling spirals and dips, which characterized the work of Cromwell Dixon last year, and which were the admiration of all state fair visitors. Since the heavy depletions in the ranks of aviators in the past two years, a ban has been placed on spectacular flying and the larg majority of the present day aviators are content with straight-away flying. As masters of their types of machines, Tournier and Studensky are on a par with any bird-men in the game. The afternoon flights which started at about two o'clock, were repetitions of the successful flights of the forenoon, although both flyers performed the greater part of the flights in full view of the main grand stand.
