The big things in aviation are still
to come. This afternoon and Friday
Arch HoXsey, the bird man who flies
the Wright aeroplane, will put on
his big thrillers again, and thousands
and thousands OF people who have
yet to see their first aeroplane fight
will have their first opportunity of
seding the machine that has con-
quered the air and the young man
who drives it with the hand of an
expert.
Wonderful as have been the two
flights that Hoxsey has already made,
that Of Tuesday when he gave such
a marvellous exhibition of the ability
of the machine in close proximity to
the earth, and that of Wednesday.
when he scared among the clouds
$500 feet above ground, those Of this
afternoon and of Fridav will prove
even more remarkable from q spec
tacular point of view.
This afternoon Hoxsey will have a
companion on his fight. having pick
ed Frank V. Kent of this city, who
will be given an opportunity of await
ing and it is safe to say that he will
be the envy of the thousands who
have already witnessed the flights
and he will be the envy Of thousands
of others before the week Is over.
Friday the great aeropane auto
mobile race will take place. This is
one of the greatest novelty races ever
put on anywhere. being contest be-
tween the machine of the air and the
machine of the ground. A five mile
race is planned, which means ten laps
about the half mile track, and with
anything like favorable winds, great
time should be made. Hoxsey never
flies less than forty miles an hour
and even during the present week he
has made as great as sixty miles an
hour, that speed being attained Tues
day when he came in toward the
stands after a flight northward for
about mile and half.
Two flights will be made this aft
ernoon. One will be the double
flight and the other will be by Hox-
sey alone. With the weather condi-
tions favorable. the first will take
place between and o'clock while
the second will be along toward ev-
ening. or between and Z o'clock.
In view Of the fact that he will
race the automobile tomorrow, two
flights are anticipated at that time
also. one being in the race and an
other for exhibition purposes.
They All Want Hoxsey
When Hoxsey was making his great
flight Wednesday afternoon, there
were in the grand stands several
Iprominent fair secretaries. G. n.
Cosgrove, secretary Of the Minnesota
state fair, was one of these and no
more enthusiastic visitor has ever
been on the grounds than Mr.. Co.'S
grove. In the evening shortly after
HoXsey had made his sensational trip
through the air, he sent a telegram
to Wright Bros, insisting that Hox-
sey be sent to the Minnesota fair in
September to fill the contract that has
been signed up. He is so thorough
ly pleased with Hoxsey's magnificent
work that he refuses to consider the
possibilities of having to be Satisfied
with anyone else
Secretary Parker of the Wisconsin
state fair was also in the stands. He
Bros. for an exhibition, and in the
lead and also wired to Wright Bros.

This is indeed splendid endorsement
Of the young mans unexcelled ability.
r. n. Cosgrove. secretary of the
Spokane fair at Spokane, WASH, was
also 'among those present" For some
time Mr. Cosgrove has been endeav-
oring to put on an aeroplane flight for
his fair but so far he has been un-
successful. He is enthusiastic over
the proposition now and says he
won't sleep till he gets an aeroplane
for his fair, and he too. will make a
strong effort to get Hoxsey as the
aviator
Is Not Stingy
Under the contract that had been
signed up by the Grand Forks fair
for the aeroplane flights, ten minutes
was the length of the flight that was
guaranteed. and that is all that
would have to have been made. Hox-
sey. however, has showed that he is
just as much interested in the sue
cess of the Grand Forks fair as any
resident of Grand Forks possibly
could be and on Tuesday he made q
