The Third Plan.

The other plan to be submitted by local
aviation enthusiasts is somewhat similar
to that suggested by Mr.. Berger. They
propose to bring here Curtiss and some OF
his best aviators and possibly others
This plan will require money also. and
an effort is being made to interest local
capitalists in IL.
Washington tried to obtain the inter
national aviation meet, which will be held
in New York the last two weeks in Oc-
tober. 1t is believed that a meet which
would take place immediately after the
New York events and which would bring
here some of the best and most daring
aviators who had taken part in the inter
national contests would be a drawing
card not only for Washington but also for
Baltimore and other nearby cities.

it is expected that this exhibition will
be as successful as the two preceding

Aviation Meet Early in Novem-
Der Being Considered.
THREE PROPOSALS MADE
Chamber of Commerce to Take Up
Matter This Afternoon.
SUGGESTION BY MR.. BERGER
New York Promoter Would Have
Washington Raise SIS, 200, He
Agreeing to Put Up $35, 900.

Three propositions for holding an avia-
Benning race track. early in November
will be submitted to the board of direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce when
II meets at 4 O'Clock this afternoon
Two OF these propositions will be SUBJ
mitted by local men interested in avia-
ton. and the third will be presented by
j. s. Berger Of New York, a promoter of
aviation meets.
Much interest has been aroused among
local business men in the plan to hold
an aviation meet here late in the fall.
They believe that IL can be made sue
cess from a financial standpoint, and it
appears likely that Washington will be
the site of such meet before the year
is out. 1t is improbable that the Cham
Der of Commerce will do more than give
its Endorsement to the proposition. The
promoters of the enterprise. il is said
must interest the individual members of
the chamber in order to get them TO in
vest in the project, for the chamber will
not invest as an organization.
Observation-Disclosures Flight.
The suggestion OF Mr.. Berger is that
the chamber or the business men of
Washington raise $4,000 as their contri-
button to the meet, which he estimates
will bring 100000 visitors to the city
during the ten days that it lasts. He is
WhilnS 10 raise the rest or the money
needed, about $4,000 He proposes to
bring to Washington three or four of the
best known American and foreign avia-
tors. He also plans to arrange flight
from Washington to Baltimore and return
in which. he says, it probably could be
arranged to have Wright and Curtiss
take part.
E. II. Young of the Washington Aero
Scientific Club proposes to hold an avia-
lion meet here for local talent. He SAYS
that a dozen or more inventors and ayia-
tors here have machines and he proposes
that they shall give an exhibition He
does not ask the chamber for money,
but merely for an Endorsement. Mr..
Young's plan will be laid before the board
this afternoon.

An Ancient TRAGEDY,

A historical paper in Lord Montagu's
collection In London tells of a strange
tragedy "done in HOlborn, little be-
fore Christmas" several centuries ago:
"a boy seven years old came up into a
gentleman's chamber and prattled to
him and drew his sword and hOurished
with it. The gentleman, being in bed,
wondered to see the boy toss his blade
so and said: so, good boy, thou hast
done well. Put in the sword The boy
persisting, the gentleman rose and held
him the scabbard, and the rude hand
ed lad, thinking to sheath the sword;
Justify chOpt II into his body Compa-
ny were called. One offered to strike
the child Let him alone,' quoth the
gentleman. God is just. This boys
father did | kill five years since and
none knew. Now he hath revenged
it, And the gentleman died the sec
