A Summary of Some of the Most Inn
portant Events of the Day.

The schooner We're B. Roberts. Capt.
Roberts, has arrived at ParrsbOro, N. S.,
leaking badly and will discharge her deck
load and go on to the marine blocks for
repairs. She loaded lumber at Dorchester
for Vineyard Haven for orders, and while
lying below Dorchester she grounded and
strained badly.
Falling from the "bandstand" railroad
bridge, as the double-decked affair over

His body was later recovered. The boys

Atlantic City, N. j., was selected by the
Sons of Veterans today as the place for
holding the next annual encampment and
George w. Pollitt of Patterson, N. j., was
elected commander-in-chief. Other Off

PROMISE OF AIR FLIGHT.
Thousands of Inventors Now at Work
on the Fascinating Problem.

The bicycle manufacturers of fifteen
years ago have become the makers OF au-
tomobileS and the latter are now o11er-
ing aeroplanes for sale. When every.
body rode a bicycle and the craze or
fashion gave a wonderful impetus to the
good roads movement. no one dreamed
that in little more than ten years the b1-
cycle would be supplanted by the auto
mobile: would in fact become almost OBJ
solete Now before the first decade of
the twentieth century is spent, the auto
mobile is threatened with a rival and a
successor the aeroplane, that holds out
a promise of the most exhilarating sport
the world has ever known:
new marVels every few years and pro-
gress is a succession of leaps forward
into what was but a little while ago the.
unknown or the impracticable, it will not
do to dogmatiZe the future of an inven-
ton that amazes us Aerial navigation
became an accomplished fact when Count
Zeppelin Unanswered his great ship in
central Germany from city to city and
province to province. The aeroplane-that
is to say. the heavier-than-air rival of the
diridible balloon-is more or less in the
experimental stage, although it's achieve
ments take hold upon the imagination
Mr.. A. M Herring, an inventor of this
type of air craft, is very sansuine about
its future, predicting that it will attain
a speed of 125 miles an hour, and some
time or other carry two men $500 miles
without a landing. We are willing to be-
lieve it, but may be permitted to wonder
more a question of the right kind of mo-
tor than of the fabric in which the mo-
tive power is installed. although there is
much room for improvement in the ship
| itself and it's accessories.
thousands of inventors are at work on
| the fascinating problem, and we can't
believe that they are all victims of a de-
| lusion.-New York Sun.

was much slower than that made IN
his NO. 22.'' Three Wright models,
each equipped with a tank carrying
80 litres Of gasoline, will fly this after
noon in the endurance test.
Acting on behalf of Clifford Harmon,
of New York, Cortlandt F. Bishop is
negotiating for the purchase outright
of the dirigible balloon Zodiac for i'm
mediate shipment to New York. The
Zodiac has been entered for the dirigi-
BILE races to be held In connection with
the Hudson celebration. The owners
asked for $4,000 for the balloon.
Between noon and 3 o'clock the wind
blew at the rate of five metres sec
ond. This makes flying hazardous and
the champions waited in the hope that
the wind would fall.
Lefebvre, one of the Wright pilots,
decided not to compete for the endur-
ance test today, but to reserve his eff
fort for the International cup tomor-
row. The Wright managers admit
that their machines are slower than
the Bleriot, Curtiss and Latham aero
planes, but certain changes have been

increased speed, and they have not
abandoned hope of winning the Cor
don Bennett trophy.
Paulhan's mechanicians worked furf-
ousiy to repair mis- machine, but when
it was apparent at $3.50 that 1t would
be impossible to complete the neces-
sary changes in time for the aviator
to start this afternoon, Paulhan filed
a protest with the committee, claim
ing that he had been fouled by Della
grange and requesting the postpone
ment of the finals in the PriX De La
Champagne until tomorrow.
Later the wind abated and Roger
Sommer got away. He was followed
by Latham in his mo. 49," the ma
chine in which he made 70 kilometres
yesterday. Henry Farman went up
Immediately after Latham. The wind
was blowing less than five metres a
second Sommer descended during the
fourth round.
None of the Wright pilots had start

be ended at 7.30 it was then physically
impossible for them to best Lathams
time for the Grand Prix De La Cham
payne.
Bleriot, in his mo. 49," started out
at $40 and Tissandier followed him
four minutes later.

ing him, G.. Clark, a Negro convict
serving a life sentence in the Bib

Yesterday a man in gray applied for
food at the home of Albert Stevens, a
tenant on the Shoemaker farm be-
tween West Webster and Forest Lawn,

Flying as Second Nature.

Blacksmith Sorenson's aeroplane,
which falls when out of order some-
thing like a wounded bird, seems to
solve the great problem of aerial navi-
cation. That flying machine should
fall more than half a mile without
harming it's occupant is the biggest
thing yet. A man has time to make
moves in flying, while in automobiling
he must instantly steer clear of things
in the road. Trapeze performers, tight
rope walkers and vaudeville bicyclists
have balancing down fine and might
learn flying easily, for their nerve CEN
tiers of flying are developed and act au-
tomatically and without unusual con-
centration of the mind. Once learned
flying will become second nature and
can be done without thinking.-New
