Three Erieites Try and Like Air Sensations At least three persons took a whirl at flying yesterday afternoon with the pilots of the planes which stopped here Monday on their way to Cleveland and Chicago. Two grandsons of T. M. Nagle, from whose farm the flights were made, went up and enjoyed the sensations of looking the loop and other harmless tricks of the modern aviator. Ross P. Wright, secretary-treasurer of the Reed Manufacturing company, also [[overlapping cutout]] in one of the planes, and dg[[cut out]] air. a nov tice m "Yo come presse now r aeropl "I city l Wright ing."

When flying over Pearl-av Weaver came near to meeting disaster. He flew over the penny arcade of W. H Williams & Son at 2927 Pearl-av and knocked a brick off the chimney. The machine continued on its way, the impact not being sufficient to tilt the plane of break the wing.

Two machines were brought to Cleveland for the purpose, but one, temporarily out of commission, could not be used. The flight was piloted by Civilian Army Flying Instructor George E. Weaver, with Ensign R. E. Waller out of the United States Naval flying corps, as passenger. Lieut C. W. Meyers of the Canadian royal flying corps, completes the trio. The machine was a Curtiss JN-4 biplane, used by the Unites States army for training and scout purposes. The airmen will leave Cleveland to-night for Toledo, where they will herald the opening of a similar con-test to start Sunday at Loew's Valentine in that city. "Buck" Weaver, as he is known to his familiars, was formerly connected with the training camp at Waco, Texas. He was one of the first airmen to instruct the late Vernon Castle, when he entered the aviation service.
