...Clayton of the Blue Hill Observatory spoke in the Union on "Aerial Navigation," the names of the Wright brothers were the only ones generally known in connection with the subject; today dozens of men with several types of machines are solving in two continents the problems of man's flight. The conquest of the air by balloon and aeroplane will be in this age what the mastery of land and water by steam was in the last generation...

...study of conditions of the air and also from a large amount of practical experience in ballooning. He was in the German balloon "Pommern" which last year won the international long distance race from St. Louis, landing at Asbury Park, New Jersey, and it was said that this remarkable flight was due in large measure to Mr. Clayton's intimate knowledge of the upper air currents.
