to be capable of wonderful speed
Garros is not particularly anxious to
arpuse the laughter OF his spectators,
as he takes himself seriously every
minute, but there is something so win
some, and surprising in the rapid evo-
lutions OF the Demoiselle. as only Car
res can guide her. that the most

Garros doesn't really object to this.
because he receives q large sum OF
money aoroad for being the most ex-
pert operator of that peculiarly diff
cult machine. And when a French
aviator gets toe money he is said to

did not embrace and kiss him after
his flights. but out West. where the
money came easily and abundantly, no
one kissed him and he was calm.
The big meet will be opened at Bel
mont Park next week. Grahame-W White,
James Radley and Alec Ogilyie, of the
English team. have been in this coun-
