o try to tell what the aviators
are going 10 do next is like
trying to reach a roof from
the ground for a better view
the moment a cry OF Here he comes!-
announces the approach of one OF the
man birds. BY the time you get where
there is an. unobstructed view the fier
is gone. The air records are falling
so fast nowadays-much faster and
moro frequently than the men who
make them-that any prediction is
open to serious objection that it will
be out Of date by the time II gets into
print.
With these words OF explanation. or
possibly OF apology. let US assert that
the great aerial event toward which
the persons interested In flying, whic&
means the whole world. are looking is
the race between ST Louis ana New
York over a 1000 mile course for a
prize OF $4,000 offered by the New
York World and the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. OF scarcely less interest is
the projected Chicago New York flight
of about $50 miles for a $4,000 prize
offered by the New York Times and
the Chicago Evening Post. In addi-
ton TO these there are the Washing
ton-New York race. the Detroit Buff
falo flight, the Kansas City-St. Louis
contest and many others. The total
Of the prizes offered by the cities and
the newspapers is large enough to
bring to America the most famous OF
the old worlds aviators. as well as to
engage the attention OF our own best

who has been enhancing Europeans
with his skill on his beautiful instru-
ment.
Spalding returned early in June
from a long sojourn in Europe. where
he won many piaudits, to spend this
summer at Monmouth Beach, n. J.,

old world in the autumn to begin his
1901 concert tour Of the European
capitals.
Whether or not Spalding is the future
Paganini,' as one OF his ardent admir-
ers called him. is a matter of possible
future revelation. In one respect at
least Spalding resembles the famous
yirtuoso OF a century ago-that is. in
the instant recognition his genius has
won from the critics OF foreign lands.
AS Paganini toured Europe. meeting
with appreciation OF his genius wher-
ever he went, so Spalding has been
hailed in Europe as one OF the great
est of living violinists. France. Eng
land. Germany, Russia, all have paid
tribute 10 his mastery Of technique
and the wonderful, Undesirable ap-
peal of his tone to the musician and
the lay nearer. Throughout there has
been but very little unfavorable criti-
cism, and whatever carping OF this
sort has found its way into print has
invariably been modified by words OF
warmest praise. Probably never be-
fore in the history OF American music

brief and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. an in

critics OF the old world.

again in the musical season Of 1910
season OF 19i1-12. His triumphs
abroad insure him an ovation in his
native land. where he has appeared
before in concerts. Some extracts
from the French critics comments on
his playing read as follows:
HE has classed himself among the
greatest violinists Of the age"
Qualities which we noted were suff1-
cient to class the violinist among the
greatest"
Albert Spalding is one of the best
violinists Of our epoch"

HAMLIN GARLAND, CONSERVATIONIST

resources Of the nation Is
written high on the roll Of honor of the
men engaged in the fight on the right
side. with those of Roosevelt. Pinchot
and others VIII be that OF a teller Of
tales, Hamlin Garland.
The country contains no more en-
thusiastic believer in the west. "the
new west" and its future than Mr..
Garland. His devotion to the cause Of
intelligent conservation of our mines
and forests. our fields and plains, our
men and women, requires no explana-
ton. For years in his books and on
the lecture platform he has been
preaching the gospel of the mission OF
the west to regenerate. TO maintain the
nation. In his latest book, 'Cavanagl;
Forest Ranger" he carries his propa-
ganda a step farther and comes out
openly and boldly without reserve in
support Of the Pinchot forest policy.
IN the mouth OF the hero OF the book,
Ross Cavanagh. the author puts the
words:
Il am glad TO be known as a de-
fender OF the forest 4 tree means
much 40 me. never mark one for
telling without a sense of RESPONSE
bility for the future"
1t is this sense OF responsibility for
the future" frankly avowed, together
with most interesting story Of life In
the new west that makes up the body
OF Mr.. Garland's latest book. In 1t he
devotes considerable space-not 20 the
detriment of the book as a study. how
ever-to a defense and an exposition
OF the forest preservation theories of
Clifford Pinchot, the recently dismissed
chief forester. The latter is depicted
as the idol OF the body of strong, able.
clean living young men whom he
trained in the forest service, and his
dismissal from the service Is described
as a severe blow to the personnel Of
the service. Mr.. Pinchot contributes
a preface to the book.
For a score OF years Mr.. Garland has
been known TO the public through his
writing and his lectures, as an ardent
believer in Americas future. In a
book published sixteen years ago he
said:
