BALTIMORE. Nd. Nov. 12.-Nothinx
could have been much more unpropi-
tious for aviation than the weather OF
the early afternoon OF the closing day
OF the Baltimore meet. Between the
times when the opening and closing
bombs went aloft the wind blew At from
eleven to twenty-seven miles an hour.
according to the Official wind gauge,
and 1t was undeniably puffy. Yet It was
not worse than II had been several
times earlier in the meet
The officials held OF for less wind
and refused to let any OF the aviators
go aloft until after q large portion
Of the smallest audience OF the meet
had gone home. More than one OF the
flyers had expressed themselves as de-
termined to make flights. but they
were not permitted to do SO until
nearly o'clock. when Hoxsey took the
passenger-carrying Wright aloft for Q
brief flight. which was the last ascent
Of the meet, and which saved the days
gate.

Banquets to Aviators.

vedere by prominent citizens in honor OF
all the aviators and was attended by

In local aviation affairs. While given IN

small measure into a tribute to Col Je-
rome H. Joyce. president of the Baltimore
Aviation Company, and to his energy and
resourcefulness in contending against
great obstacles.
The other banquet was given at the
Hotel Rennert by the combined STATS
Of the Sun and the Evening Sun I'm
