of the course yesterday pointed out that
Captain Baldwin failed to fly over the
line at the. end of the course at fun speed
in both directions as required by the
specifications The airship in fact, was
turning before reaching the turning point,
barely spacing over the flag at the end of
the course. For this reason and because
of the accident which occurred to the wire
connections to the motor. it was decided
by the board that yesterdays trial was
not fair test of the speed qualifications
of the airship and they were unanimous In
expressing their pleasure at the manner
in which the ship behaved.
Another official speed trial will be held
this evening il weather conditions are
favorable. 1t is probable that Captain
Baldwin will make his flights early in the
morning hereafter

to determine whether the dirigible ball
loon and the two aeroplanes contracted
for by the government fulfill the con-
tract requirements. met today to act upon
the first speed trial made by Captain
Baldwins shin yesterday. Yesterdays
flight will be counted as one of the three
speed trials, which Captain Baldwin is
allowed by the terms of the contract, with
the government. although the board de-
clared the conditions under which the
trial was made gave no opportunity for
making speed.
Yesterdays flight was over a course
which was at right angles with the wind,
which was from the south. 1t was
brought out at this mornings meeting of
the board that the course followed yes
terday not being with and against the
wind did not comply with the specifica-
tions. Captain Baldwin and Mr. Curtiss
requested before the trial yesterday that
a windward course be arranged for. Lieu

CASH FOR REMNANT.
Baseball Fans Have Contributed sos
Toward $1,000 Fund.

At noon today $9s had been SUBJ
scribed to the Topeka pennant fund,
which is in process of conception I'M
der the surveillance OF two Topeka
sporting editors. A thousand dollars
is the aim of those engaged in raising
the money. and although the project
is less than two days. old, nearly one
tenth of the money is raised.
There has been good deal in the
line of encouragement offered to those
who have the matter in charge. In
the Santa Fe general offices, the heads
of several departments have offered
their assistance. On many OF the
desks in the general offices are found
subscription blanks to which the en-
ployes of the different departments
are adding their names. Although this
was just started a few hours ago the
general managers Office and the gen.
eral passenger agents office had five
dollars each to report at noon. Many
of the departments have not been
seen yet, but it is expected that with
in a day or two records of large SUBJ
scriptions from Topeka's big office
building will be reported. The central
fire department is preparing a purse.
In many places over town are to be
subscribe. Under no circumstances
will anyone be solicited to contribute
to this cause, and only voluntary offer
ings are wanted. If Topeka fails to
land the coveted rag the subscriptions
paid in will be refunded. Those who
wish to subscribe can find blanks at
Eagles. the Smoke House and Cooley's
drug store. There will be other
places added to the list tomorrow
There is but little doubt that the
money can be raised and will be. II
possible the sum should be raised by
next Tuesday, and the players can
then be apprised of bonus at the game
on that date with some fitting cere-
mony.
The amounts pledged up till noon
today are as follows:

Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be- positively
distinguished from adulierated OF fuke
White Lead before you spend a cent
on your painting.

Therefore the .b'ow-pipc'' test is an
absolute and tina, one.
The National Lend Company are
urging every T interested In painting
to make this test OF paint before using
1t. and they guarantee that the p,,re
