BournemoUth, England, July 1.-THE
first flying tournament Of the year in
England was brought to a tragic close
this morning by the dramatic death Of
the most daring and popular British
aeronaut, the Hon. Charles. s. Rolls,
third son of Lord LIangattock- In the
presence Of a great company of specta-
tors, a majority of whom were women
and children, and many personal friends
OF the young aeronaut. the Wright BIZ
plane on which he was flying fell sud
denly with terrific speed from height
Of one hundred feet It struck the
ground close to the crowded grandstand,
smashed into a tangled mass, and be
fore the doctors and their assistants
could reach the spot Rolls was dead
The prize for which Rolls was com
peting was for alightng nearest q given
mark The goal was directly in front OF
the srandstand. He had risen 10 a good
height. then shut off his motor. and was
gliding IN a broad circle toward the
mark. without warning the tailpiece
Of the biplane snapped off. The machine
gave 2, sudden Iurch and the framework
crumpIed up in the air. When IT struck
the ground it was smashed TO pieces.
The doctors found that Mr.. Rolls's
skull was fractured. The wreck of the
machine and twisted stays surrounded
the body, so that there was difficulty in
extricating him. Immediately after the
accident was known the committee an
rounced that flying would be suspended
for the day.
Lord and Lady Llangattock, the par
ents of Mr.. Rolls, narrowly escaped wit
Messing the accident. They were max
ing a yachting trip along the coast, and

morning. intending TO attend the meet

Special Cable to The Tribune.
DUBLIN. July 1.-The painfully sudden
death of General Sir William Butler will
be deplored throughout Ireland, as well
as Ia England and In those colonies where
he had seen much service. y brave and
capable soldier he served the British en-
pire In Canada and Africa, and rose TO
within g. step OF the highest rank in the
army, though. owing TO his frank. honest.
and. as events proved, sensible advice
given TO the government on the day be-
fore the outbreak OF hostilitles In South
Africa he was for time most unpopular
In England. and scarcely received the
full measure OF reward which his serv-
Ices rnerited. He was as skilled with the
pen as with the sword, and some OF his
books make most interesting reading and
will be regarded valuable additions 70
British military history. His wife, too. as
Miss Thompson, earned undying fame by
her paintings, two military subjects. The
Roll CALI and THE Scots Greys At wa
terloo," being among the most admired
OF the pictures shown at the Dublin IN
ternational exhibition OF 1907.
II Is, however. nS patriotic IrlSh-
man that Sir William Butler Will be best
remembered in this country He was n
convinced home ruler. but though his
name was several timos mentioned Tor
constituencies he never entered parlla-
ment Still in another sphere he rendered
good services to his country, being q
prominent member OF tho National univer-
slty commission and Of the senate.
