^[[Aug 11]] Capt. Beck in Chicago. ^[[1911]]

As soon as Kirtland finished he went over to where Peck was and shook hands. Later, when the gasoline pipe was fixed, Peck made a few flights around the field.

Aviator Welsh, of the Wright fliers, was invited on the field to see the work that was being done by his former pupils, Lieuts. Arnold and Milling. For his benefit Capt. Chandler and Lieut. Kirtland made special flights. Mr. Welsh was much pleased.

Lieut. [[underlined]] Milling [[/underlined]] made three flights in the new biplane that the government purchased recently. Milling likes the new machine. It is a trifle heavier than the old one, although built on the same lines.

Capt. Paul W. Beck arrived in Chicago last night, where he will compete in the aviation  meet that will be held in that city from August 12 to 16. Beck hopes to win the prize awarded the aviator who remains longest in the air. Milling, who holds the world's record for accuracy of landing, will soon go to Marblehead, Mass., where he will superintend the construction of an aeroplane from specifications drawn up by army experts.
