PARIS. June I4.-During the racing at
Longchamps today M Santos Dumont, in
his airship No. 9, appeared over the course

NJ Santos Dumont descended unaided in
the center of the course, where a great
ovation was given him. He then reas-

of Tnaneuvers sailed away in the direction
of Bagatelle.
A curious coincidence during the presence
