Asks Many Questions.

Garden City, Long Island, July 23.-Mrs.
Russell Sage was an interested spectator
at the aviation flights this evening. Bald
win, Harmon and Russell each made sew
eral rounds of the course.
After Russell came down Mrs Sage was
taken TO the tent OF joe Seymour, where
he was at work repairing his biplane. The
machine was explained 20 her and she
asked many questions. She seemed puz-
zled over something and kept serutinzing 6
the machine. and finally asked Seymour
why the controls and planes were so
patched up. He explained that each patch
represented a rent and that recovering was
expensive and patching was reserted to.
Captain Baldwin after making the first
tive rounds came near meeting with an
accident. He shot in too close 10 the
grandstaHd and narrowly missed the wire
fence. In making the sharp turn to avoid
that he had TO drop straight down, and the
fall breke skid. He replaced that and
went UP again and again.
Harmon went UP to a height of $50 feet
and circIed about. He was UP eleven min
utes and made pretty landing.
