| The management of the North Caro-
lima state fair has been seeking to
make arrangements for a ful1-f1edged
aeroplane with an expert in charge
to give actual demonstrations of
fights as a crowning feature of the
fair However, it developes that these
fights can only be made where there
are one mile instead of half mile race
tracks, so the flying feature must be
abandoned. However, proposition
is being considered from Glenn Cur
tiss, the famous aeronaut, for having
perfect machine here with an ex
pert lecturer who will demonstrate
the machine in every way except in
actual flights. This attraction may
be arranged. In addition there are
to be the finest balloon exhibition :
the fair has ever had.

these licenses. The number issued

seventy y-eight and the indications are
that the number will easily reach 100,
