In 1904, The New York Times moved its headquarters uptown to Broadway and 42nd Street. On the side of its new building the newspaper posted bulletins. On this day, it was about the pioneering flight of Glenn Curtiss from Albany to New York, 1910. The New York Times hired a special train to follow Glenn Curtiss on his pioneering flight from Albany to New York and scooped The New York World, which had given Curtiss a $10,000 prize for the accomplishment.
