and the only section from which pre-
cipitation is reported is the Pacific
coast Rain or snow fell along the
coast from San Diego to British Co

slight change has taken place in the
temperature of the Pacific northwest.
1t is colder on the Atlantic coast, and
warmer in the Lake region. Below
zero temperatures prevail in Wyoming,
eastern Montana and North Dakota.
There is still a depression off the
Washington coast and the indications
are for occasional snow in this vicinity

On his second flight he remained up
ten minutes and two seconds, reaching
height of 400 feet and travelling
about 1-2 miles In descending he

feet. Covering the mile and half in
2:58, he took another shoot into the
country, came back, went around the
course second time, and had started
on his third lap just as Beachey in his
dirigible, and Charles K Hamilton, in
a Curtiss monoplane had made an as
cent and got Under full Roadway. The
French aviator fell in behind Hamil-
ton an dacted as rear guard for the
American until the latter descended
after a flight Of four minutes. Then,
after completing his third lap, he made
a series of graceful turns in the middle
field and sailed low over the grand
stand again and again. This flight
lasted 20 minutes and two seconds.
In the machine in which he made
the worlds speed record of 1912 miles
in Is minutes. 3-S seconds, at
Rheims, Glenn H. Curtiss attempted
another flight. Starting in front OF
the grandstand he rose to a height of
20 feet in 500 yards of flight, when his
propeller broke and he was compelled
to stop his engine. He sailed grace
fully to the ground.
The only accident that in any way
marred the days proceedings occur
red when the engine on the Gill
Bosch machine was started before the
biplane had been taken from the tent,
and a flare back tore out a portion of
the upper plane. This slight accident

Makes Second Flight.

While the dirigibles were preparing
for their second fight the irrepress-
able Frenchman decided to start up
on another journey. Covering the
full course in 2:07 2-5, he started
around again and neared the starting
point just as Knabenshue's balloon
had caught the wind at the head of the
stretch and was coming along at high
speed. Paulhan's aeroplane shot up
ward and soon was abreast and direct
ly over the dirigible. The two craft
raced with the wind at their backs,
