FAILURE OF MAJORITY
OF AIRSRIp MEETINGS
Comfort Found In Diversion Of
Ate tIon 10 PtIfectlOn
Of Mechanism

Paris, Aug. i7--Thc failure OF most
OF the aviation meetings this summer
has proved a great disappointment to
promoters. After Tie tremendous sue
cess OF the great meeting at Rheims
last year hundreds Of meetings were
organized in every country in Europe
and even In Egypt. Beginning with
the winter meets along the Riviera
these meetings nave continued week
after week In almost every large city
in France. In almost every case the
results for the promoters have been
disastrous.
Even Rheims, with the prestige Of
last year and long series Of broker
records this summer, was financial
failure, the loss totaling $4,000.
Those identified with aviation place
the blame upon the spirit of CONNER
cialism with which aeroplaning is be-
ing exploited. Aeroplane flights made
such a vivid appeal to the imagina-
ton that promoters hung up enormous
purses and paid fabulous sums to Sc
cure the presence of the few French
cracks whose exploits had astonished
the world.

months ago. had earned $25 a month

900. Every pilot, whether experienc-
ed or not, wanted to excel his rival
in sensational exploits in order 10 &c,
more money and that was the
cause ofseyeral OF the fatal accidents
which have marred the meetings.
The impression in France is that
next year there will be one meeting
where there were thirty this year.
Those interested in the real devcl-
opment of aviation. however. believe
this will be an advantage rather than
a drawback. 1t will. they think, tend
