SEATTLE, October. 3. 1909.
Preceding Taft week. the I. o. o. F.'s
took the lead in making things bright and
lively at the A. Y. p. last week and held
the attention of the crowds for five days
or more. The various parades, excursions
and entertainments in their honor kept
things going at a lively pace. The parade
on the 22d ultimo was the largest fra
ternal parade ever witnessed in this part
Of the world Ten thousand in line
marched through the streets of Seattle
to the fair grounds. It was grand
sight. They passed in review before
Grand Sire W. L. Kuykendall of the
Grand Lodge, Gen. NJ. A. Rainey. COM
manding the Patriarchs Militant and Maj.
Gen. E. P. Edsen commanding the depart
ment Of Washington. Fifteen hundred
members of the order came from Tacoma
with three bands of music and Joined the
parade. The Patriarchs Militant in full
uniform lent a military and picturesque
aspect to the affair. Five hundred women
Of the Rebekah Lodge took part In the
parade. They were in automobiles, and
elaborate floats representing the Re-
bekahs. Indeed the ''Rebekahs" were
right in IT. from start to finish. They
served as the entertainment committee
for Gen. Rainey and officers at the full
dress reception at Odd Fellows Hall.
where prizes were awarded for the best
drilled teams, and the Sioux City Re-
bekahs took the first prize Of $500. to-
,ther with the first prize for the best
float in the street parade. These Re
bekahs' had the only complete drill team
at the Sovereign Grand Lodge meeting.
These same "Rebekahs' also carried
home from Denver and 1t. Louis the first
prize a few years past.
The Harvest Home people had day
last week, and a great feature OF their
festival was an old time barn dance IN
the Washington state building. The deco
rations were in corn husks. No one was
allowed on the floor except they were
Bingham dresses. old-fashioned starched
dresses vari-colored Jumpers and over
alIs striped collars. red bandana kerr
chiefs, sun bonnets, straw gombreros and
old-fashioned boots were all the go. and
gray haired women and bonnie lassies
alike appeared in these bewitchins cos,
tunes and Swung corners or responded
to "all hands around to the tune of
| Turkey in the Straw" and other melo-
dies just as homely.
This week all hearts and hands were
turned to the arrival and visit of Presi-
dent Taft and there were no eyes for
anything else during his sojourn in Seat
tie. Tart day brought $1,000 people to the
fair grounds. Although so late in the
season it was the third largest attend
ance. Thursday the parade at the
grounds, viewed by the President from the
steps of the auditorium. was headed by
the Philippine Constabulary Band of
eighty-two pieces. following which were

English Cities QuarreIing
Over Aviation Meet Dates

LONDON, October 9.-Aviation, which
has not heretofore received marked at
tention In Great Britain, has recently
seized upon the country. and all kinds
of competitions are promised in the next
two weeks. The clash of dates for the
meetings. however, has already led to
spirited correspondence in various To-
calities, and some Of the aviators find
themselves threatened with the ban Of
the International aviation authorities if
they fulfill contracts which they entered
upon in perfect innocence.
The trouble largely centers in the
Blackpool and Doncaster meetings. Black
pool was the first in the field. and
chose dates between October IL and %,
raising fund Of $1,000 for prizes. The
Endorsement of the Aero Club of Great
Britain was secured. few days ago
the Doncaster committee suddenly issued
a program for a meeting to commence
October Is, with a big list of prizes and
to appear.
The Aero Club announced its refusal to
sanction the Doncaster week, as it in
fringed upon the dates at Blackpool.
THIS refusal is said to carry with 1T
the disqualification Of aviators Compel
tests under the Aero Clubs supervision
This assumption of powers, resembling
those Of the Jockey Club, has thrown the
flying committee into state of seeth-
ing indignation. The French aviators
in England and Doncaster apparently
are ready to defy the ruling.
Capt. F. S. Cody. the American aero
pianist. who is now in the service Of
the British army and who Is preparing
to make an attempt to fly between Lon
don and Manchester for the prize Of
$4,000 offered by London newspaper.
has notified them that he cannot do so
If he enters the competitions at Dom
caster. He has informed the Doncaster
Club that it is his intention to fill his
contracts at Doncaster. In the mean
time, spirited exchange Of compliments
Is going on between the city councils
Of Blackpool and Doncaster, each accus-
ing the other of underhand methods in
sending emissaries to France to outbid
Its rival
The competition for aviators is proving
a golden goose for Frenchmen, who will
be the principal flyers to be seen in
England. Farman, Rougier. Paulhan,
Sommer,, LIE Blanc and Delagrange are
among those who are said to have signed
contracts. and who will appear.

instruction he Is allowed to take the
place of the operator and manage the
machine, while the expert sits beside
him ready to aid him with the wing-t1p

beyond the control of the novice.
Lieut.. Lahm's First Lesson.
The first attempt at flight during the
afternoon was a failure. Wilbur Wright
attempted to start the machine without
the use Of the falling weight. but did
not succeed in getting into the air. The
machine left the end of the rail and slid
for about two hundred feet on the
ground and then stopped The falling
weight was then called into requisition,
and at Sill pm. Lieut. Lahm was taken
up and given his first real lesson in the
air. This fight lasted for about five
minutes. and was only the first of the
long series that Lieut.. Lahm will have
to make before he is qualified to run
the machine alone Mr.. Wright makes
struction will take, but he has never
yet trained man in less than eight
days, and this was during exceptionally
good weather, when several ascents
could be made in single day.
The last flight of the day was made at
SAL. when Mr.. Wright again tried get
ting into the air without the use of the
falling weight The engine was working
better than it had done on the first trial
and he succeeded in rising without diff
Guilty. This flight he made alone and
was In the air for about five minutes.
Minister WI in Crowd.
There was quite a large crowd at the
afternoon fight. many people having
come out from Washington in automo-
biles and on horseback. and more on the
electric cars. The most distinguished
of this party waA Minister WI Ting
fang, who came with his wife and daugh-
ter In big touring car. He arrived be-
fore Wilbur wright had returned from
Washington, where he had gone on bust
ness. and addressed every one whom he
found apparently in authority around the
or not he was Mr.. Wright.
When Wilbur finally appeared the minis
ter grasped him warmly by the hand, and
before word of introduction could be
spoken or anything else said inquired:
DO you fly this afternoon" 1t was
largely on Mr.. Wu's account and par
TALLY because Of the crowd of sightseers
that Mr.. Wright consented to bring the
out and give it trial.
Before the aviator had arrived Mr.. WI
and asked questions about everything con-
nected with the working of the machine,
its past history and future prospects.
When he was shown the engine his first
inquiry was as to where they kept the
fire.
Lieut.. Humphreys. who was deputed to
answer most of the questions, explained
to him the difference between steam
and an internal combustion engine and
the minister protested to be satisfied.
Still Another Question.
Then he asked "Will she fly to New
York;" Lieut.. Humphreys smilingly re-

WRIGHT AS PROPHET
Predicts Mile a Minute Speed
for AeropIane.
BREAKS WORLDS RECORD
Makes Over As miles an Hour in
College Park Trial.
LAHM GIVEN HIS FIRST LESSON
Minister WI in Crowd Gathered to
Witness Flights and Asks
Some Jolly Questions.

Wilbur Wright is not much at making
predictions. but he broke custom last
evening, and said that the sixty-mile-an-
hour aeroplane was not only a possibility,
but that it was practically here, under
the guise of the machine that was now
operating at College Park. This was
after his experience in the morning. when
he made a speed of 1852 miles an hour.
and had unoflcially broken the world s
record for the close kilometer.
He was talking with group of re-
porters after the flights in the afternoon.
and one Of them asked the question as
to the maximum speed that was possible
for an aeroplane. He replied that with
the power plant now installed in the
machine he was using he could make a
machine that would travel from sixty
to seventy miles an hour. with one per-
son on board. He said he would do this
by making the planes both smaller and
lighter and lessening the amount of head
70 further into the details Of this aerial
racer, but from what Is known of the
Wrights' plans and methods 1t Is to be
inferred that he probably would sharpen

would be expected Of 1t. This was the
first time that either of the Wrights has
been induced to make any prophecy as
to what a machine could do. or what
they could do themselves. their usual
method being to do thing first and
prophecy afterward.
The flights in the afternoon were OF
comparatively small moment but Wilbur
Wright had installed on the new machine
a third lever corresponding to the one
with which he controls the wing tips
and rear rudder. The intention Is to al
