Returns Today.


NJ. de Lesseps intended making the
trip from Calais to Dover and return
without ~alighting, in an effort to win
the Ruinart prize of $4,000, but the mist
compelled him to descend.
Leaving Calais amid the cheers of an
immense crowd, the aviator sent his
monoplane up to a height of 400 feet
and then headed it in the direction of
Dover. When scarcely a mile out from
the French coast the Scarabee, as the
monoplane is known, was lost to sight
from the torpedo boat destroyer Esco-
petite, which was racing underneath it
to render aid should the aviator and his
machine fall.
NJ. de Lesseps' only means of reckon
ing his whereabouts were the rays of
the sun, which dimly penetrated the
banks of fog in which he was en-
shrouded. He determined to keep on,
however, and, in order to avoid the
possibility of colliding with the cliffs
of Dover he sent the ~monoplane to a
height of a thousand feet, at the same
time keeping it pointed in the direc-
ton in which he believed the English
coast lay.
Lands Easily.
The Frenchman's courage soon was
rewarded by the sight of the gray
cliffs Immediately beneath him. There
he stopped the whirring motor and let
the machine glide to earth, landing
without mishap at the Winston court
farm, a mile inland and midway be-
tween Dover and Deal.
Used so H. P. Machine.
De Lesseps used a 50.horsepower
"Scarabee." He descended from the
point at which Louis Bleriot started
on his cross-channel flight last July, and
rose gradually to IN altitude of 1900
feel, at which height he was travel
ing when he was lost to view in a light
haze. The torpedo boat destroyer Els.
copette followed in the wake of the
flying craft.

FINE
PERFORMANCE

For their first presentation OF "The
Lion and the Mouse" the McRae
players had splendid patronage and ap-
recitation in keeping Herewith. All
below stairs was packed, extra chairs
being needed, and there was a good
sized demonstration of the gods, who
were as much joyeo with the stage
incidents as were the dress circles.
1t was an excellent redition of
Charles Klein's famous and significant
melodrama satirizing the money power.
At many of the quiet library scenes
a hush wrapped the house which could
be felt like a velvet muffler. And
when the mouse had bearded the lion
in his lair, in the scene where her
identity was discovered, the ceiling
vibrated with the applause that would
not stop until Luara Hudson bowed
her acceptance OF the ovation. AS
Shirley Rosemore this lady captured
the inner rampGrts of every heart
which she had been steadily approach
ing ever since the advent of the COM
pany.
Louis Morrison as John Burkett
Ryder, the Nero of Capitalize lion
in the plot-had fine makeup sug-
costing Pierpont Morgan and car
ried the part through with great self
contained power and aplomb. Tense
situations between him and the other
leading characters are many, but in
none of housekeeping when rage
from thwarting of his iron will got the
better of him-did he for a moment
allow lapse from the ponderous dig
nifty of his role Even in his capitula-
ton to the clever authoress-the
mouse" of his nomination-the
Zion" did not allow a trace of emo
ton to appear in manner or voice.
In other words he was magnifcently
game. ..A.
Hon. Fitzroy Bagley, the third son
of an English lord employed by the
capitalist as private secretary purely
for his blue blood, was exquisitely
personated by Charles Royal, winning
the louder if not the larger proportion
of the evenings tribute of laughter
Ivan Miller, with fine Chauncey De-
pew makeup, played Senator Roberts
in good style.
Edith Elliot did well in two anti
podean roles-Mrs. Rossmore and Kate
Roberts-in the latter being particul-
arly charming. Louise Melrose, as the
wife of Ryder, was a good entertainer
