her steering mechanism, however. the

Men from Other Cities in the State to
FLY, so Why Not Let a Brook
ings Man Have a Try

Other South Dakotans are going to
fly, SO why not l." says r. E. Clarin,
the local photographer. When Mr..
Clarin heard that three other citi-
zens from WATERFOWL, Aberdeen and
Deadwood had been invited and ac-
copied an invitation to fly in Hugh
Robinson's aeroplane at the state
fair, his patriotism and loyalty to
his home town welled up in his
breast until he could restrain his emo
tons no longer, so he wired to Huron
asking that he, as a representative of
Brookings, be allowed the same pri-
vilege. Mr.. Clarin wants to do his
stunt on Brookings County Day, the
week, as, if he is called upon to
furnish the corpse for a funeral, he
wants as many Of his friends and
neighbors present as is possible.
G.. A. Starring, superintendent of
the publicity department of the Fair,
states that he will bring the matter
before Secretary McIlvaine, and will
attempt to run in Mr.. Clarin as a
special feature on the 18th. Doubtless
Mr.. Clarin hasn't stopped to think OF
that number IS, but If elected to fly
on that day, he will doubtless try
to prove to his friends that he is a
game sport, even if his nerve should
result in his returning to Brookings
as a dead Indian" Robinson has a
special stunt of sailing a few thousand
feet in the air and then making a
grand swoop headlong to the earth
and no doubt this is the sort Of a
sensation that Dick wants to get.
Since the Chicago meet, Robinson
has been making sensational flights
in the western part of the country,
and will come to the South Dakota
State Fair with an ever-interestlng
reputation as one of the most daring
and successful ~aviators the world has
ever seen.
