FRENCH AVIATOR
FLIES ENGLISH
CHANNEL
BIeriOt Steals March for $4,000
Prize
NEARLY A MILE A MINUTE
MonoPlane Beat Torpedo Boat Des-
troyer-Machine Slightly Damaged
When AIightine at Dover.

Dover, July 26-Louis Bleriot, the
French eviator, accomplished the re-
markable feat of flying across the
English channel Saturday in twenty
three minutes. The distance from his
starting point near Calais to Dover is
about twenty-one miles, and he, there
fore, travelled at the rate Of nearly a
mile a minute.
The aviator left the French shore at
1870 and within a few minutes sighted
the white cliffs of Albion. He des-
cended gracefully in the Northfall
meadow behind Dover castle at 1853.
M. Bleriot looked little the worse for
his hazardous trip, although his foot
was burned by petrol This gave him
some trouble and he had to be assist
ed to an automobile which was wait
ing He drove to the Lord Warden
hotel where he was greeted enthusi-
|astically.
A French torpedo boat destroyer
followed the aeroplane but so swift
was the speed of the machine that the
destroyer was soon left far behind
Although the start was made In calm
weather, the wind arose and very
strong breeze blowing at the time of
Bleriot's descent making tne perfor
nance all the more noteworthy.
BY his achievement Saturday Bier
lot wins the special prize of $4,000 of
fered by the London Daily Mail
NJ. Bleriot has for several years
been an active aviator in France and
is said to have had more miraculous
escapes in his career than any other
|aeronaut. He made a fight from
Toury TO Arthenay, France on March
81, 1908 in a monoplane. His latest
achievement, prior to crossing the
channel was fight on July 13 from
Etawpes to Orleans a distance of 25
miles. He made a successful land
ing, covering the distance in Sc min
utes, ten seconds, including a stop Of
eleven minutes near Toury to exam
inc his aeroplane. BY this achieve
ment he won the French aeroplane
prize of $4,000.
VI. Bleriot's monoplane is of the
Latham type but is the smallest flying
machine yet built. 1t is fitted with
a three cylinder vita it's air cold and
drives a two bladed propeller. The
pilots seat is in a sliff-like body.

LANGLEY FLOWING MATCH.

The Langley annual blowing match
was held on March 4, in one of the
fields of Mr.. John Mufford's fine farm
on Langley Prairie. We believe that
a blowing match is one of the best COM
petitions among farmers and one of
the most needed.
In spite of the inclement weather
and the wet state of the land, caused
by the heavy rain of the night before,
a most enjoyable and profitable time
was spent by the fifty or more who
attended. Feeling encouraged by the
success of this year the committee are
already talking of the next match and
feel assured the generous way in which
prize money was donated that the evil
dent interest of the farmers, that there
will be many more competitors next
year and that the blowing match will
become a regular feature of the farm
ing life of the Province.
While everyone connected with the
match did their duty there is one man
to whom especial credit is due, and
that is that gallant Scotchman OF
Langley Fort, James Mowatt. A fea-
ture of the day was the work of John
Smith, who by the way, won the prize
as the oldest plowman on the field, he
being somewhere in the neighborhood
of seventy. He worked a Fleury
