WRIGHT's BEST Ma

Ralph tombstone. of Kansas City,
Kan. is known around the world as
famous trick bicycle rider. He is
already famous among avlators and
makes a speciality OF stunts" and
teats of endurance.
At Asbury Park, \. j., August 81,
untssunted by his linping motor.
tombstone made a cross-country flight
Of over so miles at an elevation or
$500 feet. Spurred on by his desire
TO outdo the IS mile flight made by
his rival, Hoxsey. Joffnstone for IS
minutes swept over all the summer
Bank and Ocean Grove. He made the
first moonlight fight in this country
at Asbury.
Al the Boston meet tombstone
showed what the Wright aeroplaue is
capable OF doing. when he had q ma l.
chine all to himself. For more than
three hours he circled the course with
the ease and regularity of a taxicap.
1t was on the same day that John
stone showed the most brilliant bit OF
airmanship seen during the meet.
With Grahame- White, who had been
generally conceded to be the master

ing the air ahead of him. In an aero
plane Of more than twice the power of
the Wright, and admittedly the faster
craft, Johustone undertook to catch
his rival.
Skilfuliy banking on his corners,
jockeying aloft into the wind and
sliding down before 1t. the American
gradually cut down the quarter or a
lap separating the two machines, fin
ally passing the Englfshman after an
exciting race in front of the grand
stand. The performance not only
showed the superiority of the aviator,
but that of the Wright aeroplane over
the Farman. After Grahame White
had been Tapped second time. he
abandoned the contest and sought
the upper currents In a climb for
the altitude contest
The most striking commentary
upon the reliability of the Wright
type. however. Is only brought out
when it is considered the totals made
by tombstone. Using the same ma

he made flights OF an average of more
than an hour in time and more than

competitor was Grahame- White, with
total distance of 216 miles and a
total time in the air of about ten
hours.

FREDERICKSBURG. VA, Sept. 20.
The first days attendance at the
Fredericksburg fair was not large,
but the interest shown by the exhibit
ors while the judging was going On
was intense. The seed corn contest
was the most exciting and there was
such a large number of entries Of high
quality corn that 1t took Professor

the first year that he has attempted
to market the product. Already he
has shipped 500 barrels to Chicago,
and in a short while he will ship as
many more.
The mule race was the most anus
ing event of the day and a fIrst-class
exhibition OF baking was given when
the first mule. leading by about 100
yards, stopped and refused to move
another pace. Despite the energetic
and infatuated efforts OF that jockey
his stubborn mount failed to win, al

PECULIAR RACE THIS YEAR
IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE

When ST. Louis passed the century
mark in games lost Tuesday 1t called
attention to a very peculiar condition
of the poorest race the American
League ever has had. The tail end
club of the organization has lost more
games than its pennant team has won.
And the pennant team is setting
phenomenal record In the matter of
victories, having taken every series,
and being tied this morning with the
high record for the league. Should
the Athletics win to-day they will have
to their credit more victories than any
American League club has completed
its season with.
