Mail and Passenger Service By Aeroplane In Florida.The first regular daily mail and passenger service by aeroplane in the world was successfully inaugurated between Pablo Beach and Atlantic Beach by Aviator George A. Gray. The mail pouch was dropped from an elevation of about one hundred feet directly in front of the main entrance of the Atlantic Beach Hotel by the aviator, who then circled about, landing his passenger at the entrance from the lawn.This sendee will he repeated twice daily, carrying mail and small parcels, together with any passengers who may desire to make the air trip between the beaches. The aviator, Gray, has made more than one thousand successful flights, without a serious accident, and is considered one of the best and safest man birds now operating aeroplanes.
