he persuaded her to forsake her an

might not otherwise favor the meet

use the same aerOplane in which he
made the flight from Albany to New
York a few weeks ago. and which
brought out So much favorable COM

Speaking of the coming event, the
Omaha Bee says:
First of all Curtiss will endeavor
to lower his own worlds record for
quick and short starting in an aero
plane during each day of the meet. In
addition to this he will seek to re-
duce his record for a mile on a circu-
lar track. which now stands at fifty

matched in nerve and daring.
