The US postal stamp was issued for the first time - on a roll. Cy Young pitched his second no-hitter. Orville Wright made the first 1 hour plane flight. Henry Ford introduced the Model T car - at a cost of $825. The first Gideon Bible was placed in a hotel room. The Brooklyn Academy of Music opened in New York City.
