Fourteen flights, coupled with Lieut. Rodgers' departure, made College Park aviation field a busy place yesterday afternoon. The aviators had been hampered in the two days preceding, and were anxious to resume their work. Capt. Chandler, Capt. Bock. Lieuts. Arnold, Milling, and Kirtland, and Paul Peck did the flying. 

On one of his flights, Lieut. Milling took up an old classmate, Lieut. William Sherman, who has just been sent to Washington in connection with the engineer corps. Then Lieut. Arnold took Lieut. Dawson Olmstead for a ride.
