AEROPLANE TRIUMPH.

! TWO MEN' on one machine. , ■ ' The remarkable flight which Mr. Henry Far/rnari accomplished .on his aeroplane at Paris at dusk 011 March : 20—which, according to the moro trustworthy - of. half a dozen ■ estimates may be put at a'mile, and 750 yards, covered in three'minutes forty seconds—was eclipsed on March 21 by Mr.' Farman himself, who experimented before the committeeof the Aero Club,' and .covered a -distance' of about ttfo niiles.and a ; Haft in .about four minutes. Jiut what was probably more remarkable than Mr. Farrtail's exploit was tho attempt l mado by'M. Dolagrange to carry two men on his tieroplani—which is" approximately a reproduction of Mr. Farmart's. . M. Delagrange chose Mr. Farman as his,partner. Mr. Farman fixed himself in-.the rigging above M. Dclagrarige's shoulders, arid the machine' was set in motion. The result disappointed sijme of.the spectators) but gratified 611 tho aeronauts who saw .it.' Tho machine succeeded in sfcveral 'flights of twenty yards or more, which, though no great feat', in. appearance, was ertough to show that two persons can fly in an aeroplane so far as, and with grcator ease and certainty than, one alone could fly two years ago. •
