Irish Hospitality.

/ must say that no Englishman could
spend any length of time in ireland
without being impressed by the Won
derful hospitality Of the people gem

ly. They are of far more free.and-
easy disposition than We are, and ir
scarcely any circles will you find the
strict observance Of formality which
prevails with us.
Their sense Of humor is wonderfully
keen, and one cannot help noticing
this, as it is to be found in practically
all classes alike. I think the average
Englishman has quite an erroneous
idea of Ireland as a business country
1t is astonishing to see the amount
of trade which is done in quite a
small town, more especially on mar.
ket day or fair day. In the smallest
towns universal providers" are to be
found, who are perfect miniature Will

FAILS IN FIRST ATTEMPT.
FOSTER WILLARD, AERoNAUT,
ENDEAvoRs TO WIN TROPHY.
.Accident~-to Machine Framework
obiges Stop After Mile Had
Been Traversed.

.MINEOLA. N. Y. August 2O.-C. Fos-
ter Wizards first attempt to win the
trophy offered by the Scientific Ameri-
can for the longest flight by an aeroplane
failed today because Of an accident to
the framework of his machine the
Golden Flyer One Of the, supports Of
the rear horizontal rudder was broken in
starting, and this prevented the vertical
rudder from working. After flying in a
semi circle for nearly mile Willard was
compelled to alight and postpone further
attempts until next week.
The scene Of the flight was Hampstead
Plain. L. l.. where Charles NJ Manly of
the Aeronautic Society. which owns the
aeroplane. had established a circular
circumference. The machine Is the one
whose record flight OF fifty-two minutes
and thirty seconds a few weeks ago
Willard is trying to exceed.
Start Delayed an Hour.
Before starting Willard had some trou-
BILE with the oil pump Of his engine. and
this delayed his start for about an hour.
Then to test the pump he made pre-
liminary flight around the course and
alighted.
The start for the trophy was made at
$50 am. Owing to the roughness of
the ground near the starting point an
extra heavy strain was put upon the rear
horizontal rudder in rising from the start
ing rail. with the result that the rudder
doubled up and interfered with the opera
ton of the vertical rudder Willard kept
on for about miie, but at the third turn
when two-thirds the distance around the
circle was completed he discovered that
he was unable to steer the machine and
came to the ground.
Repairs will be made quickly, but as the
test must be made In the presence of Mr..
Manly. representing the Aeronautic So
ciety, second attempt at distance flight
could not occur before Monday, which
Is the first day on which Mr. Manly can
be present.
