clubs on Long Island. private race meet
ings. such as those at Meadow Brook and
Cedarhurst. and last, but not least, the
aviation trials at Garden City, all come in
for a share Of attention. while the warm
weather has caused the yachting season to
begin rather earlier than usual, many boats
being already In commission. and the
Sound is dotted every fine afternoon with
sails and swift steam yachts and still
speedier motor boats.
With regard to aviation at Belmont Park,
the elimination trials held there by the
Aero Club Of America, with a view TO the
international aviation championship, will
take place on Friday, Saturday and Mon
day next. and will become the occasion OF
very large gatherings OF the fashionable
world, almost every member of which is
interested in an aeroplane. The popularity
of this branch OF sport shows no signs OF
waning. but rather OF increasing. II is
necessarily restricted to those who combine
affiuence with personal courage. presence
of mind and mechanical ingenuity. and is
therefore not likely TO become vulgarized.
Moreover. II is the one sport which more
than any other nowadays is encouraged by
the governments Of the United States and
of the foreign powers. or, rather. by their
war departments. which appreciate to its
fullest. extent the military value OF every
new development OF aerial navigation.

OF whom will remain at the Park. either at
