ton this morning. the first ddA of the Phoenix meeting. and all so important that it cannot all be put at the top Of the column People who want to
 know it all will have to take the time
 to read the story through.
 The meteorological data published above is different from the regular
 weather reports. and Is prepared espe-
 cially by Nk Jesunofsky. who will
 furnish it daily to The Republican
 d,tring the meeting IL is information
 thot has not been published in con- nection with any other meeting, and is described technically as Pressure Arguments and Formnlae Determina- tions." The information will be espe- cially appreciated by aviators and those who take scientific interest Tn the business of flying It will be ob- served that atmospheric conditions are reported as high as 10000 feet,
 which, it is believed will cover any possible altitude stunts of the avia- tors. Tonights readings will give line on the conditions in which the flyers will have operated today
 And now to the flyers Charles K
 Hamilton, C. F. Willard. the latter's brother. and various other mechan- icians and attendants. are here. to- gether with three Curtiss biplanes in first-class condition. all shaped up, and ready for flying. Quite an assem- blaze sneaked out to the fair grounds quietly late yesterday afternoon and from personal observations can veri- fy this statement And. as for the f1N-iprr ;.-
 thoritatively that they will satisfy all corners. The aViators here are as good as the best, and that is all that could be expected. It is true that Hamilton and Willard are operating under mutual agreement with Cur tiss, and that when all appear in a joint meeting they are naturally less advertised than their chief. and make no desperate efforts to dim his glory But when it comes to flying they are there" Curtiss broke his speed rec ord in Los Angeles. that's history. But Hamilton broke the new Curtiss speed record in Fresno. which is also his tory. though it was an exhibition and not an official meeting. If the incom- parable weather of the past week con- tinues three days more, it is not un- likely that Hamilton and Willard will do some record breaking here.
 As for the exhibition, they regret that Curtiss is not here. but promise to give tn" public just as good show as though were here. Hamilton said. in ,. that he was willing to undertake % do almost anything with his aeroplane that anybody in the grandstand would ask him to do. and he thinks he gan do anything that can he done in the flying line. He has many spectacular stunts, but probably the best one is his gliding to the ground from ,a wonderful height, af- ter the motor has stopped. The pro- gram committee promises that there will be a program every day of won derful variety and interest. The crowd cannot well keep its eye on iuore than two aeroplanes at once. anyhow
 For Friday ten-Irile race has been arranged between Hamilton in his aeroplane. and a driver of Johnson's Buick machine. the White Streak< It will be a novelty race for both men as well as for the audience, and both are keen to win. Hamilton says it will he a fine exhibition, and one may well imagine it will be, an auto and an aeroplane chasing each other ten 1 times around the mile track without | stopping. If this is a success, as it 1 undoubtedly will be, another automo- bile will be given similar chance on l Saturday.
 There are a lot of things both wis l itors and home people should know | One is about the rooms. Aviation | headquarters will be open at night af- | ter the arrivaf of all trains. for the accommodation of those who want | rooms. Visitors should report there | promptly.
