Brock's official time for the 502 mile flight was seven hours, three minutes, six seconds. He maintained an average speed of 71.11 miles an hour.

Ode to Terre Haute /1 By Pythian Leader
Gen. E. F. Durand, of Columbus, O., who Is a candidate for major general of the uniform rank, at the coming meeting of the sup'reme assembly in this city, Is the author of the following clever rhymes:
"On the banks of the Wabash," how jolly it sounds, To the man who has been there, and knows it abounds With "cat fish" and other things real good to eat. With men who are manly and girls who are sweet.
Tls the best little town on the "Hoosierdom" map. And they keep hospitality always oh tap. When they know you're a stranger, they can't do too much. And their handshake Is hearty, not merely a touch.
They mean what they say and say what they mean, As the contractors know when the mayor they've seen. They'l toast you or rpast you, whate'er is required. And in that line of work they will never get tired. The Pythian knights of this city so fair, Have what in cities of that sizes is so rare, Nowhere can they boast of two companies strong. Which will win all first prizes and take them along. With captains so brilliant, one short and one tall. Who know what to do, in fact, know it all. No wonder 'Tare Hote" Is a popular town, When captains and companies win such renown. So here's to the city on the banks of the stream, Which gave the poet and singer his theme. And here's to her people so noble and gay. May they prosper and grow till the great judgment day. Here's to the Pythian encampment to come, May It be of all our encampments the one To be longest remembered as one of the best, A pleature to all who were there as a guest.
