 Rheims. Aug. 23.-Improved weather brought a crowd of nearly 5o.o00 to the Plain of Bethany today to witness the aeroplane flights of the worlds great est aviators in the second day of Aviation Week." The ground was much ffrmer and smoother today and the aeroplanists who yesterday exper- fenced considerable difficulty in get ting under way preparatory to mount ing. rose easily today. Most import ant of the races today was the ''heat' of the Prix vitress, a race for speed completed tomorrow. The Prix De Passengers for aeroplanes carrying the greatest number of passengers a dis tance Of 10 kilometers, was also sched- uled to be held late this afternoon.
 Early indications were that the races would not commence until late in the day. Glenn H. Curtiss was an inter esting figure in the aero crowd, he showing no sign of the mishap which befeIl him last week. He announced that he was not going to take part in the races preceding the great Coupe Internationale on Saturday
 Cl1rtiss has his heart set on the big race and he does not wish to take any chances of injurydng the only aero plane that he has here. The French entries in the Coupe Internationale have been definitely picked. It is Hubert Latham, who will fly an An toinette bi-plane; Lefebvre.. Wright bi- plane, and Bleriot, Bleriot mono-plane. This will put two Wright machines in this race. S
 It, is believed that fully 800 Amer jeans were present today. American colonists in nearly off the European capitals seemed to be temporarily so- journing here. Courtland Bishop, rep resenting the Aero Club of America. said today that Jacques verie had promised to send a small portable dirigible balloon for the Hudson-Ful- ton celebration.

 He sighed and for some moments did not reply. Then I saw his hands clenching temselves, and he said:

 Upon the steps. in immaculate even

 arm. and his crush hat slightly on the
 back of his head, stood Ralph Gar shore, the man who had by stealth and double-dealing filched from Gran ny a fortune just at the moment 1t was within his grasp.
 The man did not notice us He was lighting a cigarette. and apparently awaiting somebody.
 We both turned our heads in order that he should not see our faces. 1t was a curious freak of fate that Gran ny and his bftterest foe should be living under the same roof. A few minutes later a handsom en- tered the courtyard from the Strand. and pulled up at the entrance. In it sat @ young dark-haired woman in cream evening cape, open and dis played a black evening gown, trim med with silver. and with glisteninE ornament in her hair. About her head was twisted some pearl-gray chiffon partially concealing her features. "See!" whispered Cough. There she is! That's Lydia Popescu-the woman
 who got the concession from him. So she's in London also!''
 I noted at a glance how extremely handsome she was. Most Roumanian women possess splendid complexion, and clear-cut features and sparkling eyes. I had seen many in Bucharest who were superbly handsome, but not ] one to compare with her. Garshore, recognizing her, waved his hand, descended the steps and entered the cab at her side. giving an address to the gold-laced porter, who closed the doors. and repeated it to the driver.
 We were, however, too far away to
 catch what the man said, and in an- other moment the cab had turned and was driven off into the Strand. and | out of sight.

 MAKE TWO RAIDS
John Dancsak Has Beer In Cellar of His Home, Lone Man About to Drink at Howalski's - Gases Con tinued.

Personally directed by Police Com missioner James H. Kershaw from a post in police headquarters. the liquor sQuad made a thorough search for Sun day law violation yesterday. The drag net disclosed John Dancsak and Adam Howalski. The former runs a saloon at Railroad and Park avenues. But the violation of the law which the police allege he committed took place in his home on Johnson street, where Sergeant Hazel, Liquor Agent Wagner and Patrolman Coughlin found half a barrel of beer and some 40 bottles of the same stuff, the latter cooling on Ice in a tub. Two men were leaving as the police entered.
 The squad found a man just adjust ing a glass of beer to his lips in How alski's place, 147 Hallett street. They rudely took the beverage away from him and brought him to headquarters as Q freQuenter.
 This morning Attorney Robert E. DeForest represented the men in city court. Liquor Agent A. B. Merritt was on hand to prosecute. The cases were put over until Aug. 26. Bonds were fixed at $50 eachl for Dancsak and HOwalSkf.

fLIGhTY BALLOON
 FELL INTO SEA
New Dirigible of Bayard- Clement Who Was Bound
 from Paris to London
STRUCK BY HEAVY WIND
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Paris, Aug. 23.-The new dirigible balloon of Bayard-Clement, with which he was intending to attempt a flight from Paris to London, fell into the River Seine today during a flight.
 The Clement-Bayard was being pi- loted by M. Capazza and carried three passengers besides Capazza. It was sailing close to the Seine when heavy wind struck it. The balloon was driven against a network of tightly woven wires which it is believed cut the bag, and was then driven against some willow trees along the banks. The branches of these trees completed the ripping open of the gas bag and the big craft .lunged toward the river, totally beyond control. The passen- gers jumped as the balloon started for midstream and swam ashore.
 The Clement-Bayard hit the water in midstream and quickly sank Only the tips of it are now above water. It is surrounded by boats and it is possible that it can be hauled out without be- ing irreparably damaged.

Why the Horse Heed. the Buxler.

Why the Horse Heeds the BuEler.
 An interesting report regarding the development of the musical sense in horses was made by a committee of German zooiogists and botanists. The report says: '.The Investigations as to the musical sense of horses have shown that that sense is very poorly develop cd in these animals It has been prov cd beyond doubt that horses have no notion whatever of keeping time to music, and that at circuses they do not dance according to the tune, but that the musicians have to keep time according to the steps of the animals.
 '-Other Investigations show that horses do not understand military trumpet signals. It is only the rider or the animals instinct of imitation which induces horses to make the moves required by the signal, but no horse without a rider. however care fully trained, takes the slightest mo- t1ce of a trumpet signal, and the same observation has been made on a large number of cavalry horses without riders"

A widower,. su.ceptibflity.


 A widower is a tame animal and stands without tying. No woman can scare him. He is overconfident, and that is bis great weakness. He has been through it all and is not to be caught second time. He feels imper- vious to the approaches of womdn in any form or guise. The widow finds him really a rather knotty problem. He presents difficulties that are wholly ab- sent in a man who has never felt the matrimonial halter draw. He looks up- on the widow with amused indiffer- ence. But a young and attractive wom- an who has never been married quickly arouses his sympathies. He in nine eases out of ten shows remarkable en- durance of her siege of his heart and we all know that it is but step from endurance to pity and thence to em- braces.
