Flying Difficult Today

The Nieuport monoplane and the Beach National biplane were circling the grounds again this morning, viewed by the biggest and most interested crowd to date. 

"Flying was very hard this morning", said Mr. Studensgy, "due to the hot sun shining on the damp ground". Upon being asked the reason for this, he replied that "it makes a great suction down over grounds which makes the machines hard to control as they are so sensitive to any air movement" Mr. Studensky also said in the interview with The Huronite reporter that the monoplane was much more sensitive to such conditions than the biplane. "When meeting with any changes we come very quick down, everybody swears." 

Mr. Studensky remarked that the South Dakota country was very fine to fly over, no obstructions in their way in lighting being very considerable and that their headquarters established here were fine in that the ground was especially well adapted for obtaining an ascent, and they were not bothered with have to set up on the track.
