SOCIETY AT AVIATION MEET
Belmont Park Flights Attract the
Fashionable World.

Despite the inclerent weather society
was well represented At the opening ye7-
terday afternoon Of the international avia-
ton meet al Belmont Park, and, judging
from the attendance, under existing cOndi-
tons. il Is safe 70 say that had the day
been fine the members Of New York's fash
ionable world would have been out in larE-
er numbers than in days gone by when
the horse held sway at the beautiful track.
Every country place on Long Island
within motoring distance Of the park fur
Gtsbed its quota Of guests, while railroad
trains and automobiles brought crowds Of
well known persons from town. Many Of
them Iunched ar the Turf and Field Club
before the actual fying began.
With the persistent drizzle and heavy
wet mist suggestive OF Scotland. raincoats,
uIste-s and umbrellas were the order Of
the day. and the Inauguration Of the tour
namenr was thereby robbed Of much Of
the briIiancy that would have character
ized the scene had the weather permitted
the display OF pretty frecks and pictur-
esque hats by the women
Among those seen in the boxes and
around the inclosure were A1r. and Mrs.
Thomas Hitchcock jr, who motored uD
from their Long Island home; Mr.. and
Mrs. Payne Whitney and their children,
who also came by automobile from their
country place at AIanhasset; Mr- and Mrs.

POETRY ON THE TIGERS.

The success of the Tigers is setting
the fans to writing poetry. Here Is
one contribution the mail brings:
Enclosed please find verses; a very
feeble effort on my part, yet / trust
that you may think them worthy of a
small place in your valuable paper.
Respectfully,
FREDERICK MEMMOTT.
Newark's ~"Rubaiyat' ON Baseball.
Wake! For our team, which lscatters
into fight
teams before them in the baseball
fight,
Drives Newark's fame along with
them, and strikes
The heart of fandom with a wild de-
light.
Before the echo of the last game died
Methought a voice from Wiedenmayer's
cried:
when all the ball-yard is prepared
within.
Why chafes the waiting baseball fan
outsider"
And, as the time flew. those who stood
before
The background shouted, "Open then
the door.
You know how we all hate outside to
stay,
And, once inside, We'll root for just one
more
Now each new game, reviving old de-
sires,
The baseball fan keeps yelling till he
tires;
Until the pitching of McGinnity
Wins out, and fandom from the park
%retires.
Come, see the game, and in the fires OF
spring
Your winter garment of inaction fling
The baseball bee has but a little way
To travel, and the bee is on the wing.
Whether at Newark or at Buffalo,
Whether at baltimore or Toronto,
The Newarks keep on winning. one
by one
The Newarks' steps toward the PEN
nant go.
Then all together fill the cup that clears
Today of past regrets and future fears
Next April-why, next April we may be
Seeing a p%ennant raised amid the cheers
