Little Rock, Ark. April 22-So far as the commercial organizations of Little Rock are concerned, there will be no aviation meet here in the near future The Entertainment Fund committee of the Little Rock commer- cial organizations met yesterday af- ternoon with the representative of the company which proposed, for a fiber el bonus to pull off a bit of aviation here.

The committee was largely guided by reports from other cities which have held the aviation contests, which stat ed the entertainment was losing proposition and a drawing card insult ficient to warrant the expense.

TRAFFIC RESUMED
 ON COTTON BELT
TreStle Burned Near Clarendon Early Yesterday Morning and Trains Had to Be DetOured-Run-
 ming Through Now.

An early Friday morning fire, caus- cd by spark from an engine, de- stroyed 12 bents of the Cotton Belt trestle across White river about one mile South of Clarendon. The de- struction of a part of the bridge de- layed the traffic between Memphis and this city for several hours yesterday. Superintendent D A. Peck, of this city vent immediately to the scene and save his personal supervision in re- constructing the bridge, which was accomplished early last night, and all t, aims were running on schedule time at midnight.
 No. 2, the Northbound Cotton Belt train, leaving Pine Bluff about noon, every day, was unable to go via Clar- endon and after reaching Altheimer took the Altheimer branch road to Little Rock, and thence into Memphis ever the Iron Mountain, No. 1, the Southbound Cotton Belt train, which is due to arrive here at 3:3O o'clock in the afternoon, arrived here last night about g o'clock This train, instead of going over the Iron Noun tai ntracks from Fair Oaks, as was intended, continued on the Cotton Felt tracks to Pine Bluff and came to this city over the new trestie' though some hours late.
 The Cotton Belt trains use the branch line of the Iron Mountain into Memphis from Fair Oaks, and the destruction of the bridge yesterday crippled the line of the Cotton Belt between Clarendon and Fair Oaks.
 A construction crew from this city and also one from the north end Of line were used in :. rebuilding the bridge.
