Discontinued

As a result of the crash of the Fleet Wing (TIME, July 30), which brought death to a prominent New Yorker, passenger service on the New York-Newport Air Service (TIME, July 9), was announced discontinued. The company's two undamaged planes will carry mail and newspapers between the two points. The passenger service was started June 27, and the Fleet Wing had safely covered 20,000 miles before her mishap.
