RADLEY PLANS RECORD FLIGHT

English Aviator Will Attempt to Make Trip to San Jose in 39 Minutes

Frederick Wiseman of Santa Rosa to Join in Garden City Performances
[[line]]
San Jose and San Francisco are to be linked in a record aeroplane flight next Saturday, if James Radley, the English aviator, finds the weather at all agreeable. The British birdman and his Bleriot monoplane will remain at Selfridge field until Saturday, and at 1:30 o'clock start for San Jose. After his arrival there Radley, assisted by Frederick J. Wiseman, the Santa Rosa aviator, in his original biplane, will give exhibition flights Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

The San Jose rose carnival committee, the San Jose chamber of commerce and the Santa Clara Valley area club are financing the flying. Radley has taken Wiseman under his wing as "the most promising amateur he ever saw," and the young Californian will take a prominent part in the meet at San Jose. Indeed Wiseman will be the sole attraction Saturday afternoon until Radley comes buzzing on the scene. Then both aviators will do fancy flying together during that and the following afternoon.

The Englishman has set his heart on making the 40 miles between Selfridge field and San Jose in 39 minutes, which would be a record even for the swift flying Bleriot. As Radley flew a straight mile at Lanark, Scotland, at the rate of 77.6 miles an hour, he believes he can make the record here.

Wiseman has a biplane of California make and idea. It is said that his craft bears most resemblance to a Farnam biplane, but it is original in oontrol and equipment. The California lad has made many successful flights with his machine in Sonoma county and two very good flights at the meet now in progress. He is pronounced to be an expert in aviating and eligible, so far as skill goes, to the professional class.
