Cross Country Flight. (Special to the Optimist) | Mezieres, France, August 11th.���In le four hundred and eighty eight miles ]oss country flight, for a prize of 7,000, Leblanc this morning completed Ie third leg of the perilous journey from fcncy to Mezieres. The distance is one Tindred miles and he made it in the re- jarkable time of one hour and fifty five Inutes. None of his six companions lualled this.. iLeblanc came in during a blinding electric storm, the lightning playing about his frail aeroplane as he swooped over the town. Hearing the staccato of his motor above the roar of the onrush- ing storm the entire populace of Mezieres turned out into the streets to greet the flying machine wildly careening in the gale, the stays of the planes taut with strain as the aviator swooped to earth. The storm forced Lindpainter, Aubrun, Cammerman, and Vullierme to descend, the first two at Chalons and the last at St. Michaels. Later all ascended ed and finished the day's run. The other aviators from Nancy were Lieutenant Fequant, Lieutenant Vullierme, Legagneux, Ranez, and Aubrun, the latter arriving second. Leblanc's official time for the two hundred and eighty-five miles covered so far is five hours and forty-eight minutes. This paper refuses to suspect any persons, but yesterday the dynamiting department of the City Council bombarded the printing shop, just as the daily was going to press.
