 miles by Earl l.. Ovington in Bleriot machine. His flight for this purpose was the leading feature of the international aviation meets opening day.
 Ovington took only one bag of mail, held it between his knees and when he was over Garden City he dropped This
 bag contained about 75 pounds of letters and postcards.
 The flying contests today were med.- ocre, the most interesting being the

 s. A., which had been secreted in clump
 of woods three miles southeast of tho field. Six of the most prominent avia-
 tors including Tom Sopwith. of England, Grahame White, J. A. D. McCurdy and

French Reply To Germany
 Is Despatched To Berlin

Paris, September 2S.--The latest re- ply of the French government to the German proposals, which was approved today by President Fallieres, who re- ceived the cabinet at Rambouillet, was dispatched to Berlin by special mes senger tonight.
 A semi-official communication issued this afternoon says that the reply shows some slight divergence from the text of the German note, but adds:
 The changes are inspired by thn general. views expressed at the last conversation between Herr von ISid- erien Waechter and M. Cambon, The communication continues:
 Tt is stated that France insists that the relations between the maghzen CMoroccan foreign board) and the pow CTS shall be carried on through the intermediary of the French minister to Morocco
 'In the matter of consular courts and foreign proteges, France, in or der to remove the abuses complained of desires that not only Germany but all the powers shall agree to the re- vision of the Madrid convention until French Jurisdiction has been complete ly re-established in Morocco. Finally Foreign Minister Selves proposes new wording of the clause relating to the control which France agrees to eXer- else over transport enterprises.
 It Is hoped that these differences will be easily smoothed over.

Paris, September 23.-The French reply
 to Germany's latest proposals for an agreement over the Moroccan dispute was
 agreed to today at a meeting of the cab lhot.
 Since Gerinany's proposals were drawn
 after two long conversations between the
 German minister of foreign affairs and
 the French ambassador, probably it will he found that France has accepted the
 arrangement proposed regarding Morocco itself, the question now remaining for settlement being the details of the ces-
 sion to Germany in French Congo. The Temps learns that the French reply diners little from the terms of the Ger man proposals. The paragraphs concern- ing public works in Morocco the protec- ton of natives under the patronage of the Germans. and the Jurisdiction of the con- sular courts have been rephrased with greater precision.
 Cologne, Germany, September 23.-The Cologne Gazette today prints Berlin dis
 patch. which says:
 ''The first division Of the Moroccan ne- gotiations will reach an end today. Even If the French cabinet council wishes changes in a few points, they can be
 made very easily. Reaching an agree
 ment in the matter of indemnity Is no
 easy task, owing to the complications of matters involved. French private inter
 ests play role making a settlement of the details more difficult. The nego-
 tia tors however, believe they can conduct this second division of their work also to a satisfactory conclusion
