Gently informing them that they are
descendants OF ancient Irish kings, and
for the modest sum of one dollar they

The letters are sent out by a Phila.

kellys all over the United States are
receiving the glad news.
The discovery" that Kelly was
once king of Ireland was made by a
representative of the Philadelphia con.

The ancestral coat of arms Is some
thing that every Kelly should have

Have you noticed Kelly since he got

When a Kelly meets Kelly they

RACE
FLYING MACHINE AND AUTO IN
EXCITING CONTEST At GRAND
FORKS.
WAS CLOSE AT ALL Times
Automobile Kept the Lead, But Was
Followed Very Closely by Flying
Machine Which at One Time
Forged Ahead.

Grand Forks, N. D., July IA
his aeroplane and an automobile was
the feature event Of the 1910 Grand
Forks fair. The attendance yesterday
was not quite up to that Of previous
days.
The track for the aeroplane had been
laid at the west end Of the infield to
permit Hoxsey to rise against the wind.
The aeroplane was pushed down to that
point on It's detachable trucks and
made ready for the flight. In the mean
time ]. d. Bacon's speedy 85-horse
power automobile had been brought
out on the track ready for the five mile
race with the aeroplane. At 4:04 Hox-
sey rose from the earth and OTTER a
short preliminary flight settled back
for the start and they were off with the
big automobile few lengths In the
lead. In the ten turns around the track
the spectators had an excellent oppor-
tunity to realize the speed of the aero
plane. The automobile was driven
skillfully and as fast as the half mile
track would permit and still the BIZ
plane, battling with a twenty-five mile
wind, kept close behind. Several times
Hoxsey gained enough to pass before
the grandstand almost straight above
the auto and once toward the end of
the race In rounding the west end of
the track Hoxsey was ahead. Coming
down the stretch he was buffeted by
strong gusts Of wind and was at the
same time forced to rise In the air to
pass above the wires across the track
and lost his lead. He was unable to
regain 1t and finished a speedy and ex-
citing race about fifty feet behind.
Many times the audience broke out
with cheers and seemed anxious that
Hoxsey should win and there are a
great many who believe under better
conditions that he would have pulled
out ahead. He was flying under great
difficulties. The speed of the wind and
the gusts that caught the big planes
would have caused most of the men in
the business Of awaiting to refuse tc
make an attempt to carry out the race
part of the programme. The splendid
manner In which he handled his ma
chine filled the hearts of the people
with admiration for his GOODNESS, nerve
and daring.
