Their gaze became riveted on the sky, and expressed first aston ishment and then delight when they saw tfie gleaming outlines of huge aeroplane sweeping gracefully over the southern edges of the city, the sun beating on the yellow wings and blaz- ing on the metal of the motors.
 For only few minutes this stirring sight was visible, but in that time the news spread like a flash, and hun- dreds found opportunity to scramble onto the roofs of the down town build ings and watch the daring aviator, who sailed along more gracefully and steadily than any sweeping bird.
 The aviator was Harry M. Atwood, who yesterday thrilled the crowds al New London and entirely eclipsed the excitement of the boat race. He flew a Wright machine and carried his mechanician as a passenger with him,

Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio in
an address before the Trans Mississ-

at Is said we have too much poll

reflection on the institutions of which
we are so proud that the many and
costly enterprises undertaken by pub

such loose. sllpshod and Inefficient
fashion that, With honorable except
ions here and there which show the
possibilities OF improvement, what Is
done by the government takes longer
costs more and is worth less than the
same thing in private hands.
