"Hawker took n great lisk, didn't he?" ndded Mr. Porter. "It is cer tainly most interesting." Clarence P. 'Wynne, a lender of the nffnirs of the Aero Club of Pennsylva nia, nppenred overjoyed when told of the reported success of Hawker's feat. "That's peifectly wonderful," he im mediately stated, "but not unexpected by those in close touch with the situa tion." The nssertion of Mr. Wynne that n trnnsntlnntic flight was expected had no 1 effect upon his enthusiasm. He re peated the phrase of "perfectly wonder ful" several times, nnd his praise o Hawker was boundless.
