MARCH 21, 1914--Duluth Herald--page 3

DULUTH AVIATOR HAS LONG LIST OF FLIGHTS BOOKED FOR SUMMER      Harry Webster, the Duluth aviator, started yesterday for White Rock, S. D., where he will begin his road tour for the summer and fall. He has flights booked for some time ahead, and as the summer season is just opening, he expects to secure a full schedule of dates from now on until late in the fall. Stanley Storer of this city accompanied Mr. Webster and will assist in assembling the bi-plane. Later he will take a course in aviation using his experience of this season as a preparatory step. Mr. Webster's career as a birdman has been short but remarkably successful. After completing the course for aviators at Los Angeles last year, he immediately began giving exhibition flights and broke one record at Los Angeles for a flight at the school grounds. Last winter he made several sensational flights over the lake during the week of the automobile show and pulled off several thrilling races with Duluth autoists.      He has put his machine in perfect condition and expects to make more long flights this month. Several cross-country flights covering more than 200 miles for the second trip are planned.      As soon as the fair season opens in the

HARRY WEBSTER early fall, he will secure his times at these exhibitions. Among events for the immediate future are White Rock, S. D., June 24, Cooperstown, N. D. June 30 and July 1, Robinson, N. D. July 4 to July 10, Hamilton, N. D. July 14 and 15, Langdon, N. D. July 27 and 28.      After finishing the Dakotas, Mr. Webster expects to tour the whole Northwest and go south late in the fall.
