Bridgeport, Conn.,, was recently the
scene of 8 most remarkable aeroplane
achievement. Not only did 1t thrill the
vast army of spectators because of the
reckless daring displayed by the bird
men, but it proved beyond all question
that, with the right make of rife, a
marksman can shoot while flying at
tremendous speed, with the same ac-
curacy as when on the ground.
Army officers have been anything but
satisfied with the results obtained with
the service rifle, and the fight was
planned as test of repeating arm OF
other than government make.
The fight took place at the Lake
Aerodrome before 10000 people who
paid admission and far greater num-
her who occupied points of vantage
upon neighboring hilltops, housetops
and trees.
When Beachy came upon the field,
violent wind was blowing. Undeterred,
he mounted his seat and was soon
soaring high above. More than once
it seemed to the spectators that his frail
craft must surely turn turtle and come
crashing to the earth, but every time
thetreacherouswind Threatened, clever
manipulation by the aviator held the
machine straight andtrue. After having
been in the air number of minutes,
Beachy pointed his craft in the direction
of the grandstand, encircled it twice
and, as gracefully as bird alights,
brought it safely to the ground.
To every one present it seemed GER

the wind, that no more flights would

SAVANNAH PREPARING TO
CARE FOR THE CROWDS
Bureau Has Been Formed With This
End in View.

Bureau Has Been Formed With This
End in View.
Savannah is making great prepara'
tions to take care Of the crowds that
will come to the races. Naturally the
regular hotels and boarding houses
could not possibly accommodate the
hundreds Of thousands who Will be
on hand, and the bureau Of informa-
ton for the races has arranged
regular clearing house at which visit
ors can get all the information they
want as to other accommodations.
Every person in Savannah having
spare rooms or other accommodations
has been asked to communicate the
information to the bureau, which 1s
in charge of Mr.. w. r. Finnegan, and
he has received word concerning thou
sands of rooms that will be available
for strangers. No one need fear that
he will not be taken care Of. In add1-
tion to these accommodations the
railroads and steamship companies
have arranged to park their sleeping
cars and dock their vessels, so that
many can occupy comfortable quar-
ters there during the races. Special
and private cars and steamships will
be provided with all conveniences.
Numerous special train will be run,
and the railroads have made hall
rate for the occasion.

be attempted that afternoon; But TO the
amazement of all, Beachy, as soon as
he landed, hailed Lieut.. Fickel, who
was standing nearby, armed with q
NC rife, and invited him
to take a seat alongside.
This Lieut.. Fickel did, and aviator
and passenger were soon on their way.
To make the trip all the more hazard
Gus, the machine had been shorn ofal
extra supports invariably carried with
passengers for balance.
Time and again the big planes could
be seen to trem BILE as if they were about
to snap when contrary gusts of wind
caught them; and to those below the
tilting and the swaying of the mono
plane were fore-runners of certain de-
struction to the aviator and his pas
senger.
When the machine reached the
farther end of the field it suddenly
turned, and came flying back at light
ming speed. At the other end of the
fed, iii full view of the spectators, a
target had been rugged. When within
firing range, Lieut.. Fickel raised hisrlfe
and sent two shots straight to the mark.
It was wonderful performance and
a fitting climax to a meet that was re-
plete with sensational features.
In an interview after the demonstra-
| ton, Lieut.. Fickel said that he found
the speed and accuracy of the Auto
loader a distinct advantage over the
service rifles he had previously used in
similar tests, and that he considered it
the only practical gun for use under
such conditions.

Savannah.-As an evidence of the
great amount of interest being
taken throughout the state in the COM
ing Grand Prize, Vanderbilt and light
car races at Savannah during Thanks
giving week, nothing is more convinc-
ing than the action of a number OF
Georgia papers in promoting free
rms" to. the races. The Jackson Ar
gus was probably the first weekly pa
per i. the state to inaugurate these
contests, under the conditions or
which trips to the races are given
in return for subscriptions, the per
sons sending in the largest number
of subscriptions in each militia dis
trict being awarded an automobile
trim TO the races, with all expenses
paid. The arrangement has proven
q splendid thing for the publishers
and will probably serve to increase
the attendance on the races. 1t Is
certain that the crowds will be larger
than ever before and that the events
will he the greatest ever held IN the
history of automobile racing.

Trying Out for Vanderbilt and Grand
Prize Races.
Savannah, Ga.-The advance guard
Of drivers and cars fer the Vanderbilt
Cup and international Grand Prize
races and light car races, which Will
take place in Savannah on November
,7 and 80, have already arrived aad
are daily trying out the famous course
over the Chatham county roads. with
the large number of entries and the
worlds most famous drivers, these
two big blue ribbon events of auto
mobiledom will unquestionably prove
tho greatest road races ever held II
the world. Never before have two
events of such magnitude been held
It ono time. Heretofore t..s Wander
bilt Cup race was held at Long ISLAND
in October and the International Grand
Prize Race at Savannah in November.
Owing to the inability of the promo
ters to get the proper protection for
the course during the race and the
unequalled facilities offered by Sa-
vannah, it was decided this year to
hold the big event at Savannah. 1t
caa hardly be called curtain raiser
for the Grand Prize, as 1t is itself
such a world famous race, but it Will
be run first and two days later the
Grand Prize race will be run, the two
days being allowed to give competi-
tors in the Vanderbilt race ample
time to overhaul and "tune-up" their
big space-killers for the Grand Prize
event. In these races and the light
car events it is probable that over
seventy-fve cars will be entered. The
course is seventeen miles long, and
with the cars eating up distance at
the rate Of 30 miles an hour, 1t Will
be readily recognized that there VIII
always be "something doing on eV'
cry part of the course. Specially con-
structed cars have been entered, the
most daredevil drivers in the world
have been secured and it is absolute
" certain that the excitement is 60

grandest sport ever held in the South
and, barring unforeseen accidents,
the greatest the world has ever yet
