but to the fact that few people
could leave their werk long
enough to take in the exhibit. At
this time Of the year, particularly,
the people are very busy, especial
" those connected with mercan-
tile establishments. The specta-
tors who we're fortunate enough to
visit the grounds came away
pleased with the demonstration
made by Dir. Fowler.
Fowler ascended at 800 o'clock
and came back to earth at $3.50,
having remained in the air 25
minutes, and having given the au-
dience al unusually long exhibit
fight; ordinarily the avlators at
exhibit maneuVers remain in the
cir only . few minutes, rising and
alighti0g aud rising again.
The aviator did not ascend to
any considerable height during
the flight yesterday, but was con-
tended to remain ct q moderate al
titude. The purposes Of the aero
plane and the methods Of it's oper.
alton are shown to better advan.
tage ct an altitude of 100 to 200
feet than 1t would be at q greater
height.
Fowler got off the ground on
the hight within q space of 100
feet, the machine taking the air in
fine shape. He sailed around the
field and out beyond its borders .
number Of times, and finally
allghted IN front of the grand
stand with equal precision and
safety. He esssyed no sensation.

the crowd something of the capa-
bility of the machine in making q |
dip or two and IN going from high |
to low and vice versa.
Alighting, Fowler left his ma.
chine in care Of his corps Of me-
cbanlcians and then with his ad-
vance man, Mr.. Cooper, and 9th
ers came to town.
With Fowler here are his
mother, Mrs. Thomas Fowler, five
meohanicians, and his advance
man, together with the two repre-.
sentatives Of the Aviation Film
Company, New York, and ahead
Of the party, at present in New
Orleans, is Charles Young, who
goes on in advance and makes the
preliminary arrangements for Mr..
Fowler's appearance.
A reporter for The American
Press last evening had talk with

hotel just after they had finished
