Show Crosses British Channel in Aeroplane. Dover, England. For the second time within a year the English channel chan-nel was crossed Saturday by an aeroplane, aero-plane, and again the honor rests with France. Count Jacques de Lesseps, a. grandson of the late Ferdinand de Lsseps, the celebrated French engineer, engi-neer, driving a monoplane of the same model as that with which Louis Ble-riot Ble-riot conquered the straits July 25 last, duplicated his countryman's feat in a dense fog on Saturday, starting at Calais Ca-lais and landing safely at Wysrton Court Farm, the journey being made in fifty minutes. |
