Jams on the river, contrary to gen.

drive there were probably three or
four hangups a day. Each Of these

Orde after the rear was well started

was impossible in SO great a mass of

was in fair way to get his logs sent

on the road one day, "looks like got

Orde laughed.

letic sports. His fathers interest In
these was but lukewarm, although. as
Prince Of Wales, he was ground land
lord Of the Oval.
George will doubtless follow his
fathers example and lease the racing
stables inherited from Edward VII to
partisan uportsmen until his period Of
mourning ends and he enters upon
the turf as an owner.
Unlike his elder brother, who was
extremely economical and careful in
his expenditures, the new sovereign
Is inclined to be extrayagant.
He is devoid of affectation and very
democratic in his ways. He abhors
hollow form, pretense and conVen-
tionalIty. He abominates snobbery.
He has been the terror of the ancient
court officials, who regard etiquette
as part and parcel Of their creed.
He was the favorite grRndchild OF
Queen Victoria, possibly because he
was just the one Of all her expensive
family of more than seventy grand
children who possessed the least rev.
erence for her.
A humorous story Is told which IL
illustrates Georges lack Of reverence.
When boy at school he wrote to his
royal grandmother, asking for SOW
ereign Queen Victoria, instead of
the gold coin, sent him a letter SER
monizing on the wickedness OF ex-
trayagance and the virtue OF econ
Omy. The young prince. In his reply,
thanked her dutifully for the adblce,
and added: II have sold your let
ter for FIVE pounds, six shillings."

IN BIPLANE TWICE
CROSSES CHANNEL
Captain g. 8. Rolls. English Aviator
Makes New Record.

Captain q. >. Rolls. English Aviator,
Makes New Record.
DOVER. England. June a. The
Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, captain
In the London section of the army
motor reserve. driving a Wright BIZ
plane, yindlcated the Anglo-saxon
aeronauts by crossing the English
channel last evening twice without
allghting. He made the round trip
between Dover and Calais in 80
minutes.
While two Frenchmen, Louis Bile
riot and Count de Lesseps, have
crossed the channel In an aeroplane,
1t remained for an Englishman in an
American machine, to perform the
double feat. The distance across the
channel between the two points Is 81
miles. so that his over-water Aight
otnelally. without a stop, established
new record.
Captain Rolls left Dover at $3.50
o'clock. Atmospheric conditions were
good. He lost no time in maneuvers,
but after describing a circle. he
headed toward the coast OF France.
In anticipation OF the flight. torpedo
boats steamed at full speed across
the straits. but the pace OF the aero
plane was swifter.
Captain Rolls took his machine to
a height of 500 feet, and at that al
titude he skinned through the air
like great bird. The motor worked
perfectly The crowd that watched
the start confidently awaited the re-
turn and II was not long before the
speek. which those who had teles-
copes saw disappear on the French
coast. reappeared, growing larger ev-
cry minute.
When finally the aviator became
visible to the naked eye, cheers rose
from the spectators and as he scared
toward the landing place made ia
nous by Bleriot, he was given
demonstration. He allghted at al
most the same spot as Bleriot, show
Ing little signs OF the strain OF his
magnificent flight.
Captain Rolls has successfully fol-
lowed the sports of bicycling. auto
mobling, bailooning and aeroplaning.
On May "a last he started to make the
cross-channel aeroplane flight, but
had gone but a few yards when his
engine failed and the attempt was
abandoned.
Captain Rolls said that much Of the
credit was due to the engine. which
ran perfectly throughout the whole
flight, not missing sparkling once.
AS he was passing over Sangatte
the aviator dropped a paper tied with
trlcolor ribbons. containing the fol-
lowing message: Greeting to the
Aero Club of France. dropped from a
Wright blplane crossing from Eng
land to France. Viva l'entente."
