Records Broken at the Rheims Air Tournament

The men in the air-ships are continually breaking records. In the great tournament at Rheims, record after record has been broken in time, in height, in speed. Latham, Bleriot, Paulhan, Lefebre, Brenan-Varilla, and Curtiss were among the noted aviators. The $5,000 prize was won by Curtiss, an American, with an American machine which the Wrights claim has infringed upon their patents. Farman, the Englishman, made a great record in time and distance.
