achievement He labored under sew
eraI difficulties, and the weather was
not the least of these. There were
vague rumors during the afternoon that
his machine, the noted Curtiss biplane
that had been extensively advertised,
was somewhat out of order and did
not add to his inclination to fly. He
also suffered as some one volunteered
the information from nervous fear fol-
lowing the memory of a fall that he
sustained a few weeks ago. However,
with all these reasons against his sue
cessful flight the occasion was well
worth the time, and the spectators were
patient and appreciative. There was
a large crowd a t the racetrack, where
automobile races used to be the attrac-
tion in less advanced days. and the
grandstand was crowded with society
people from this city and the cities
farther north who are staying at the
Hotel del Monte. There were several
parties, and among those noticed was
the group chaperoned by Mrs. j. Dow
ney Harvey. Miss Genevieve Harvey,
looking as chic and winsome as ever,
was there with her guest, Miss Amy
Brewer, who is an attractive figure in
her severely tailored clothes and man
nish hat. j. Downey Harvey passed
the weekend at Del Monte after his
usual custom and enjoyed the avia-
ton meft and the II mile drive with
the usual program of dinner at Pebble
Beach lodge. Among other visitors
from town, or at least from San Rafael,
were Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Draper
and Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Foster. Arthur
Foster made another member of the
party and returned to town Monday
morning.
