A Norfolk girl who Monday was of.

farmer if she would give her hand
in marriage to the farmers son, is
now bordering seriously over the pro-

There doesn't seem to be any real
Christmas spirit any more. People
rush down town, pick over a lot of
things, make their selections, say they
don't like them, and then wonder
whether they will get as much in re-
turn as they give. Elderly people say
it wasn't that way when they were
young; in the good old days people
gave Christmas presents as a matter
of sentiment, usually homemade pres
ents, which we always did despise

Mill last Over Wadaes-
day and Thursday
Peoples Great Interest CON-
peIs The Extension.
New Features to Be Added
100000 Visitors So Far.

Boston, Sept. IA quarter of mil
lion people having passed through the
lurpStiles Of The Harvard aviation held
at Atlantic daring the past week OF
the Harvard Boston aero meet and the
interest increasing with each day, the
management has been forced into ex-
tending the meet two days and instead
of closing Tuesday night the avia-
tors of England and America will be-
seen in the air through "Wednesday and
Thursday. Another incentive to the ex-
tension was the late offer of two val
liable cups for features not in the reg
ular program, one from the city OF
Boston and another from John Hays
Hammond OF Beverly. These will be
offered for the best marks in dropping
bombs on a battleship from an eleva-
ton of 1900 feet or greater.
Other features which will be intro
duced for the special Gays will be pur-
suit races. in which the Wright and
Curtiss machines, the Farman,r Bier
lot and ether makes will be pitted
against each OTHER and their relative
speed marks put on record. AS grand
closing spectacle. ii battle in the clouds
is promised in which fleet of aero
planes will drop bombs upon another
fleet OF model battleships upon the
ground.
The brilliant work of Claude Ora
hame- White during the first seven
DAYS of the meet gave indications that
the Englshman was in the meet to
!. take, about, all, the money prizes anu
ne seemed in a fair way to do so up
to yesterday when the Wright avia-
tors, Erookins and tombstone, and
Glenn Curtiss got into the game and
changed things a bit. White had Sc
cured enough points in the speed event
to give him first money, $4,000, but be-
yond this he cannot be said to have
actually cnched any one other prize
His mark in the Boston light contest
seems good enough to give him $4,000
and he bids fair to get seconh place
IN altitude and duration. His bomb
dropping mark is very high and he has
good marks in getaway and accuracy
Under most favorable conditions White
STANDS to land S22,350. Brookins and
,Johnstone $500 each and Curtiss $1,000.
But Glenn Fl. Curtiss is not going to
let White land his chief prize, the
Globe $4,000, without a contest. He
was busy all today putting a 65-horse-
power Indian motor and the Burgess
propeller into his fastest machine hav-
ing tried out the motor and propeller
yesterday in a Burgess machine. lie
is exceedingly quiet about his plans
out it is believed he will set out to-
morrow in the Boston light contest.
Brookins and tombstone may be
trusted. too. to nut few cinch knots
in their altitude, duration and distance
marks, all of which gives promise OF
some of the grandest aerial contests
in the history of aviation on the Har-
ward field during the next few days.
